LIFE-CHANGING: The Jerusalem Diet reenergizes not only your body but also your outlook on life. As you move toward your ideal weight -- one day at a time, one pound at a time -- you will feel better, look better, and live better.

Developed by a busy pastor who loves food and admits to a lack of self-control when it comes to eating, The Jerusalem Diet is designed to work for anyone who can manage to stay on a diet for just 24 hours. If you want to shed pounds and keep them off -- without starvation, deprivation, or frustration -- this is the plan you've been waiting for.
