What Is the Hans Diehl Jump Start Plan?

Dr Hans Diehl is a California based epidemiologist and heart researcher who developed the Coronary Health Improvement Project (CHIP) program. Included in the project is a Jump Start plan that helps the body to adjust to a diet based on fruit and vegetables.

  1. Identification

    • Dr Hans Diehl graduated from Loma Linda University, a Seventh-day Adventist Health Sciences Institution. The Jump Start plan and Diehl's other diets and lifestyle projects have been embraced by the adventist movement, which promotes courses and programs through churches worldwide. The main incentive of the Jump Start plan and other CHIP developed lifestyle programs is the reduction of heart diseases, and relief from angina pain.

    Benefits

    • The Jump Start plan is a seven day cleansing diet specifically developed to prepare the body for a lengthy lifestyle change. The plan requires increasing amounts of exercise, the drinking of 64 ounces of water, and a vegetarian diet.

    Considerations

    • The full details of the CHIP Jump Start plan are currently only available through purchasing the 30 page booklet, or through participating in a local CHIP group. The booklet in 2011 retails at $2.95 from either the CHIP home page, or CHIP authorized online sellers.
