Tayebat diet rules

Rules and ideas from published explanations of the diet, distinguishing Dr. Diaa Al-Awady's opinion from medical facts.

Fasting is the foundation

The approach focuses on periods of abstaining from food, choosing foods when hungry, and stopping when full. The details and duration of fasting vary according to the person's condition.

١. Eat when you’re hungry

The diet does not set fixed times for every meal and encourages you to pay attention to feelings of hunger.

٢. Stop when you’re full

The commonly shared idea is to stop eating when full, without having to count calories.

٣. Choose from the guide

Check what is allowed and forbidden and the conditions for this item. Exceptions do not mean it is allowed daily.

4. Avoid white flour

The source lists white bread and most baked goods made from it among the forbidden foods, distinguishing them from bran or whole-grain toast.

5. Vary your protein days

The explanations recommend not eating an animal-protein meal every day. They mention beef or buffalo meat once a week and lamb twice.

6. Pay attention to the type of fish

The explanations mention wild-caught sea fish and favor serving it grilled.

7. Observe the conditions for fruit

Such as apples and pears without peel, mango as juice, and pomegranates and prickly pears as strained juice, according to the source.

8. Check the drink’s ingredients

Coffee without creamers is among the allowed items in the source, while carbonated drinks are among the forbidden items.

9. Notice how your body responds

The explanations mention a gradual approach and observing symptoms after eating, especially with conditional exceptions.

١٠. Move every day

Physical activity is part of the lifestyle advocated in the explanations, not just the food list.

A statement attributed in the Tayebat archive
About the statement on insulin and bowel movements

Dr. Diaa Al-Awady is credited with the idea that insulin is an “intestinal hormone” secreted with bowel movement. This is his view in published explanations, not an accepted medical fact. Insulin is produced in the beta cells of the pancreas and helps the body use glucose.
