In The Beginning God's Diet.

When God created the earth and the fullness thereof, he created a special diet for His people to be their best. God put into that diet all the vitamins, minerals and nutrition that we would need to live perfected lives according to His glory. There was no such creature who is overweight on God's diet. There was no sickness or disease to those who lived off of God's diet. So in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was void and God spoke everything into existence. Upon God speaking everything that is into existence with His creative word He said it was good. For man, the last of His creations He said it was very good. Then God rested.

Two Proclamations.

If you read the account of the creation in Genesis chapter one you will see that through the first 5 days and even the sixth day as God spoke everything into creation there was an order in place. The order ended in the creation of man and 2 proclamations for man. One two edged proclamation we are familiar with because it is often preached and shared among Christians and the world. That being: "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it." This says be fruitful, multiply and have dominion over the earth. The second proclamation is "I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed it. They will be yours for food." We never hear this proclamation by God preached but it is the next verse or the next word from the mouth of God. It is also part of the same conversation and completes the commandment to be fruitful, multiply and have dominion.

What Did God Say?

He said be fruitful, multiply and subdue the earth. I give you every fruit, vegetable, tree and plant for yours as food. In other words He said this is your job (to be fruitful, multiply and subdue the earth) and here are the tools (the food to eat) to accomplish it. God gave us a directive and the means to accomplish that directive. I believe God said do this and eat this to get it done.

What is God's Diet?

"I give you every seed bearing plant on the face of the whole earth (herbs, teas, and vegetables) and every tree that has fruit with seed in it (nuts, seeds, whole grain, fruit and vegetables). Does this diet look familiar? It is called a vegetarian diet. Nothing processed, all natural. We already know that to have a better diet we must eat more fruit and vegetables. Why, because God created them to be all we need for optimal health. Optimal health also equals to the perfect weight maintenance plan. So ultimately God's Diet is not about weight loss or being healthy. God's diet is that we be in the optimal condition to do His will. Once God put that in place he rested for there was no need to manipulate, add to or take away from what he had done.
