How Does the Body Deal with Food in the Tayyibat Diet?
How does the body deal with food?
Any food that enters your body is immediately presented to the body’s internal systems. The Tayyibat Diet aims to select foods that reach the bloodstream easily and smoothly without burdening the body’s organs.
Your body is the watchdog: it determines whether this food is harmful or beneficial. If the food is contaminated or harmful, immediate signs will appear, such as a rise in body temperature or a state of immune activation.
Dr. El-Awady shares his personal experience with mullet fish, stating: “I stopped eating mullet after experiencing two health attacks. Although it is fish, the problem lies in its diet. Most farmed fish lack quality; the reason is that they are fed what is called dung (or manure)’ and poultry waste, making them a source of toxins rather than benefit”.
Dr. El-Awady emphasizes consuming meat once every five days, explaining that a 100-gram piece of meat must be broken down into amino acids.
These building blocks are only processed after being mechanically broken down by the teeth first, then digested in the stomach to become ready for absorption in the intestines.
The stomach cannot tolerate the daily digestion of meat, as protein is considered one of the most difficult substances to digest.
Therefore, adult beef (Kandouz) and general beef are the least allowed types of meat in this system .
Dr. El-Awady also states that vegetables cause a condition known as “lymphocytosis,” which is an undesirable immune response.
Poultry is said to lead to panic attacks and psychological symptoms. Although the exact cause is not known whether due to hormones or other factors
the meat of these animals is considered unsuitable for human digestion and does not fit the natural physiology of the human body. Therefore, all types of poultry, including ostrich, are not permitted .
All baked goods made from white flour, including local bread, Kaiser rolls, fino bread, Syrian bread, and thin crackers (raqaq), are considered triggers of immune system irritation.
Dr. El-Awady explains that immune cells remain in a state of dormancy and stability unless exposed to stimuli; however, flour, which he refers to as “poison,” places these cells in a state of severe activation and disturbance. He also states that hot flashes and atherosclerosis are fundamentally linked to flour consumption.
As for “balila,” it may be consumed but in limited quantities due to the difficulty of digesting its outer layers. Pomegranate is recommended to be consumed by eating its seeds (arils) and discarding the peel. Oat products and oat flour are included in the list of prohibited items as well .
It is assumed that humans should not consume vegetables at all, as they are not biologically equipped to digest them.
To demonstrate this practically, if parsley, arugula, and leafy vegetables are placed in a blender, they are not fully broken down .
As for dietary supplements containing chlorophyll, they are considered useless; humans have hemoglobin, not chlorophyll, and do not possess the ability to perform photosynthesis like plants.
Plants are producers, while humans are consumers; therefore, nutritional logic dictates that humans should consume the “fruits” of plants rather than the plant itself. This is supported by references in the Qur’an, such as in Surah An-Naba: “to bring forth thereby grain and vegetation,” and in Surah Ya-Sin: “that they may eat of its fruit and their hands have not produced it.”
The idea emphasizes that grains represent a complete available food source. However, legumes remain excluded in this system, being classified as among the lowest foods due to their burden on the body, their association with oxidative stress, and the production of high levels of free radicals.
Therefore, consumption of legumes such as lentils, beans, cowpeas, and fava beans is considered highly harmful to health. Dr. El-Awady views fava beans as animal food rather than human food, and grape leaves are said to cause constipation .
Cabbage is also considered a harmful food not permitted in the Tayyibat Diet, as its digestive byproducts are believed to produce very negative effects and cause excessive gas formation in the digestive system.
Food philosophy
Everything a human consumes is originally part of a living organism; milk is a secretion from a living being, fruit was once part of a living organism, meat is a portion of a living being, and even bread comes from a living source.
The only “dead” (non-organic) element we consume is water; therefore, excessive intake of it may lead to death, just as a plant dies when overwatered beyond its need.
Likewise, excessive water consumption shows negative effects on humans, such as dark circles under the eyes and impaired liver function .
Dr. El-Awady also states that soda causes:
â—Ź Reflux
â—Ź Toxicity in the body
â—Ź Blood acidity
â—Ź Bone erosion
â—Ź Joint pain
â—Ź Failure to eliminate toxins: after drinking soda, the body is unable to excrete toxins for 24 hours.
