Annalies Xaviera, a stay-at-home mom in Georgia, told the New York Times she saw her online following jump from a few thousand to over 300,000 on Facebook when she began posting biblical eating tips. In a recent post on May 14, Xaviera referenced Psalm 136:25 from the Bible's New International Version, which states 'He gives food to every creature. His love endures forever.
' 'And what are we called to do with anything He has provided for us? We are called to be good stewards,' Xaviera said.
'That looks like intentionally choosing foods that are going to nourish and sustain you. Choosing less of the junky, sugary, artificial foods, and more of the real stuff.

In 2004, author and natural health expert Jordan Rubin published The Maker’s Diet, which promoted a biblically inspired health plan.
Over two million copies of the book were printed. That diet was broken down into three, two-week stages. The first one cut out all commercial dairy products, chlorinated tap water, most fats and oils and all carbs. During the following weeks, dieters could then add in red meat, carbs and saturated fats.
While the biblically inspired plan was popular with readers, it drew mixed reviews from dietitians, including Dr Ruth Kava, who said that humans in ancient times did not have the knowledge of vitamins and supplements to improve their health. Christian influencers claim the biblically-inspired diet improves both physical and mental well-being Kava told WebMD: 'We have come a long way in terms of our knowledge, and I don't think that should be ignored.
' 'One of the things said is that our ancestors enjoyed exceptional health, but I don't know how he knows that from the Bible,' the dietitian added. However, in 2008, Dr Rita Hancock’s book, The Eden Diet, offered a Christian weight-loss program based on foods from the biblical story of the Garden of Eden.
Hancock focused on the practice of listening to your own hunger cues, also known as intuitive eating, portion control and biblical principles rather than sticking to strict food lists and eating strategies.
