Examples of Meals in the Tayyibat Diet
Examples of breakfast and lunch in the Tayyibat Diet
Breakfast:
● Bran toast with processed cheese (such as cheddar, gouda, etc.)
● Whole wheat toast or with olive oil
● Whole wheat toast or bran toast with jam
● These may be accompanied by a packet of chips such as Pringles, Lay’s, or French fries with ketchup and mayonnaise, or mashed potatoes with butter.
Note: It is necessary that the olive oil is of good quality. Dr. El-Awady suggests that to determine whether olive oil is good or not, a few drops can be placed on the skin of the hand; if a sensation of burning or warmth is felt, it indicates that the oil is of good quality.

Number of meals in the Tayyibat Diet
There is no objection to consuming up to five meals per day, provided that the main staples are rice and whole grain bread .
Dinner in the Tayyibat Diet
● The Tayyibat Diet allows eating before sleep. Dr. El-Awady emphasizes that dinner is wrongly accused of being the main cause of obesity and abdominal fat (“belly”), and that there is a widespread incorrect belief that one must avoid eating before sleep due to the need for physical effort to aid digestion. In reality, this is a mistaken concept, as the digestive system functions efficiently during periods of rest and sleep.
● The evidence for this is that normal excretion often occurs in the early morning, indicating that the stomach, intestines, and colon have performed their digestive functions efficiently during the body’s nighttime rest period .
