My “Why” Behind the Judean Diet: Becoming the Parent, Person & Soul I’m Meant to Be

Here are a few examples of my whys over time. One of them was honor my body as a temple for my soul and a vessel for Hashem's light in the world. I don't think I need to explain that one to you at this point. We're on the same page. Another one was to be strong and healthy for my children so that my children will see me as a model of healthy eating, exercise, and self-love. Now, this one speaks to me in special ways because my wife and I were blessed with our first child at the age of 40, our second at 42, and our third at 44. So, we started later than most. Sort of like Abraham and Sarah. We think about them a lot. And so, I am very motivated to be a young, strong, healthy dad for my children. And my wife is as well. Here's another. A strong body is a strong mind. This was based on an observation during my first round in the Judean diet that my thinking was clearer, my focus was becoming greater, and I was becoming I think even bolder and more decisive. I had no expectation at all when I started this program that such a thing was even possible. And lo and behold, it was just another of the incredible things that happened.
