For over three decades, thousands of people have discovered something simple yet profound:
When you nourish the body according to God’s original design, it often begins to function differently.
Clearer thinking.
Steadier energy.
Improved digestion.
Renewed hope.
Yet for someone new to plant-based living, the first step can feel overwhelming.
What do I eat?
Where do I start?
Will my family cooperate?
What if I fail again?
That is exactly why Foundations: Your First 6 Weeks was created.
And this time, it is different.
This is the first structured beginner course of its kind ever offered through MyHDiet.com — personally designed and written by Ann Malkmus, Chief of Education at the Hallelujah Diet.
It is not just information.
It is a guided beginning.
Why This Course Exists
Over the years, we have met countless individuals who deeply want to improve their health — but feel paralyzed by confusion.
They have tried diets before.
They have followed trends.
They have purchased books and supplements.
They have started… and stopped.
Not because they lacked discipline.
But because they lacked clarity.
The Foundations course was designed to remove that confusion and replace it with:
- Biblical grounding
- Scientific understanding
- Practical daily habits
- Step-by-step confidence
This is not about perfection.
It is about direction.
Rooted in Genesis 1:29 — Not Trends
At the heart of the Hallelujah Diet is a simple verse:
“Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed… and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” — Genesis 1:29
Foundations begins here.
Before you are asked to change your meals, you are invited to understand why food matters — both biblically and biologically.
Week 1 builds the framework:
- What happens at the cellular level when we nourish properly
- Why living foods support natural healing capacity
- How the juice + fiber partnership forms the foundation
You learn the “why” before the “how.”
That changes everything.
Designed for Real Life (Not a Retreat Fantasy)
One of the most common concerns people have is:
“This sounds good… but I live in the real world.”
You have a family.
You have a job.
You have a budget.
You have habits that didn’t form overnight.
Foundations was intentionally structured for real people with real schedules.
Your Weekly Commitment
- 3 lessons per week (20–30 minutes each)
- 1–2 hours of practical kitchen application
- Total: 2–3 hours per week
This is manageable.
And it is progressive.
The 6-Week Journey (What Actually Happens)
Week 1 — Why This Works
You build understanding.
You gain confidence in the biblical and scientific foundation.
No pressure.
Just clarity.
Week 2 — Your First Wins
This is where momentum begins.
You establish:
Early wins create belief.
And belief creates consistency.
Week 3 — Kitchen & Morning Rhythm
Many people fail not because of motivation, but because of logistics.
This week removes friction:
- Essential tools (not expensive gadgets)
- Simple smoothie formulas
- Breakfast variety beyond monotony
Confidence replaces hesitation.
Week 4 — Pantry & Grocery Strategy
This is where overwhelm often creeps in — and where it gets dismantled.
You learn:
- How to shop intentionally
- How to stock a practical pantry
- How to include the 15% cooked portion appropriately
- How to plan a week of meals you will actually eat
Many participants discover they save money when processed foods leave the cart.
Week 5 — Replace, Then Eliminate
This philosophy defines sustainable change.
Instead of restriction:
- You add nourishing foods first.
- As your taste buds adjust, less healthy options naturally lose appeal.
- No white-knuckling.
- No shame.
Just crowding out.
Week 6 — Momentum & Next Steps
By now, something has shifted.
Not just in the kitchen.
But in mindset.
You track progress without obsession.
You anticipate obstacles calmly.
You celebrate wins.
You leave with a realistic plan — not a burst of temporary motivation.
What Makes This Course Special
This is not a recycled curriculum.
This is the first official beginner pathway structured specifically for today’s audience — thoughtfully written by Ann Malkmus after decades of observing what helps people succeed.
It is:
- Biblically rooted
- Scientifically explained in plain language
- Designed for busy families
- Grace-filled
- Progress-focused
And unlike many programs, education is not locked behind required product purchases.
You learn principles first.
Tools are supportive — not compulsory.
Addressing the Honest Fears
“I’ll fail again.”
This course is built in small, sequential steps. Showing up is success.
“My family won’t eat this.”
You learn how to make food flavorful and satisfying — not restrictive.
“I don’t know how to cook like this.”
If you can use a blender and chop vegetables, you can do this.
“I can’t afford to eat this way.”
Week 4 includes practical budgeting strategies. Many reduce spending over time.
“I don’t have time to juice.”
That is why Week 2 introduces BarleyMax — efficient green nutrition in 30 seconds.
The Transformation After 6 Weeks
By the end of Foundations, most participants report:
- A consistent daily nutrition rhythm
- 10–15 recipes they confidently prepare
- Grocery clarity
- Meal planning skills
- Reduced confusion
- Increased spiritual connection to health stewardship
But the most important shift is internal:
They move from asking,
“What can’t I eat?”
To saying,
“Look at all that God has provided.”
Who This Course Is For
This course is ideal if you are:
- New to plant-based eating
- Recently diagnosed and seeking a biblical approach
- Overwhelmed by conflicting nutrition advice
- Ready for sustainable change
It is not for those seeking a quick fix or magic solution.
This is stewardship.
Not urgency.
Why Now?
This is the first time Foundations has been formally offered in this structured, guided format.
For years, people have asked:
“Where do I start?”
This is the answer.
A clear beginning.
Written by someone who understands both the science and the heart behind this lifestyle.
