diet is based on the Essene Gospels of Peace, which claims that Jesus was
a member of the Essene sect, and a raw food vegetarian. Diet consists of
raw sprouts, wheatgrass, vegetables, and fruit. Use of raw dairy is explicitly

rather than vegan. Many Essenes use fermented dairy products, specifically
yogurt.

is both the simplest diet - - yet also the hardest to follow.
It is a very strict diet, although very simple, and the strictness makes
it hard to follow.
