From what I understand, getting in shape (being normal weight) is all about not eating junk. So it is a mental fight, like staying away from booze and drugs.
There is no special diet out there, but just staying away from donuts, cakes, bacon, bread, candy, red meat, sugary drinks, pork, and pizza. And some people just can not do it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
