Created by Jordan Rubin and Garden of Life, the Maker’s Diet plays that fact up like it’s a good thing.  They talk about how Rubin is this amazing expert in all of these fields and will therefore give you the most amazing diet that you could ever get, literally transforming your body and life within just 40 days. and apparently, it can address the health crisis that is currently sweeping America.

But the fact is that you should look into the actual credentials, if you can call them that, of Jordan Rubin.  Frankly speaking, Rubin has been known as a scam artist.  The FTC actually prohibited him for a time from advertising through infomercials and otherwise selling health products, because he has made so many ridiculous and completely false claims, even extending to cancer! It’s not uncommon for him to be sued, and Garden of Life has specifically been sued already.  It hasn’t been that long.

This is a book.  So you won’t ideally waste as much money on it.  But basically, he presumes to know what they ate in the older days and therefore what Jesus and God would want you to eat. Yes, we are being a little sarcastic.  But really, come on.  We do have some references from the bible, but this is a scam.  And we wonder, he lists himself as a PhD, was that a PhD in “life experience”?

Basically speaking, he claims to give you the prescription for a 40 day lifestyle or otherwise a temporary lifestyle change.  Frankly speaking, you can lose weight with extreme fad diets that do this.  But the weight loss will never actually last! So obviously, there is a huge problem with that to say the least.  But this being said, they talk about his studies, findings, and experiences.  Realistically, he has no studies.  They’re not at all legitimate.  It’s all a joke.

Rubin has a long history of problems for a reason.  They are not just after him to keep things undercover.  Yes, we don’t always agree with the FTC being that there are some natural substances like green tea that actually boast far more studies than the prescriptions.  And we definitely don’t necessarily agree with what we consider loose requirements for prescriptions as far as studies go.  But that’s not to say that we don’t agree with them on anything.  We agree with them on Jordan Rubin and Garden of Life.

We have our specific reasons.  For example, we don’t like the fact that they talk about him basically curing himself of Crohn’s disease. People have actually made their disorder worse and even died because of people who make idiotic claims that people hope are true about things like this.  Yes, it is very serious, and no there are no “natural” cures as of yet for something like Crohn’s.  We prefer natural treatments for many things due to our research.  However, the things he addresses are not among them.  We honestly think that the FTC should sue him for that story in particular.  However, it really only adds to the fact that the Maker’s Diet will not work.
