The Tayyibat System: Beyond Dieting or a Nutritional Reinterpretation of Disease?

The Tayyibat Diet is not a diet

Dr. El-Awady emphasizes that this system is not merely a dietary regimen; rather, it is based on the absence of a pre-established agreement between the person and food, where there is no discussion of regulating calories, meals, or quantities. Simply put, it is not classified as a diet, but rather as a process of controlling permitted and prohibited items based on a comprehensive redefinition of human concepts about food.

“Tayyibat” cannot be placed within the category of dietary systems such as keto, for example. It aims to make the relationship with food a well-regulated one governed by entirely new principles. Under this new framework, the perception of food components changes; instead of viewing eggs as a protein source, they are seen as a trigger for immune system irritation, and instead of considering chicken as a high-quality protein, it is viewed as a cause of hormonal and psychological problems that may lead to panic attacks and nightmares .

The idea of “Tayyibat” is not centered around calories; rather, it is a system that corrects misconceptions about food and medicine.

 It regulates all inputs passing through the digestive system, and therefore it is not classified as a dietary regimen. Following this system is associated with discontinuing the use of medications such as antacids, cholesterol drugs, and diabetes medications, with the aim of reaching a state of “Medication-Free,” where symptoms such as headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, and night sweating disappear.

This system was introduced to correct common beliefs; for example, acidity was never caused by excess acid, irritable bowel syndrome is not related to personality, and weak immunity is not simply a nutritional issue treated with supplements especially since the claim that supplements are free of side effects is considered inaccurate.

The Tayyibat Diet works by redefining foods and everything that enters the stomach. Sugar, for instance, is not viewed as a harmful element causing nerve inflammation, but rather as something that can be consumed without concerns about weight gain or inflammation. In this context, alternative claims are presented: tea is said to cause constipation, dairy products are said to damage the colon and cause immune diseases and back pain, eggs are said to trigger inflammation, chicken is associated with hormonal and psychological disturbances, while vegetables are said to negatively affect liver health and may lead to respiratory and skin problems .

When the body breaks down muscles and amino acids during low blood sugar, it becomes necessary not to rely on common explanations, but instead to look for the real mechanism.

The conventional interpretation that diabetes is always linked to pancreatic failure raises the question of why everyone would develop such failure at the same time.

 In reality, the disease was named “diabetes” due to the presence of sugar in the urine, although this sugar is not directly responsible for blurred vision, back pain, fatigue, or malnutrition.

Regarding “insulin resistance,” it is not considered a disease but rather a state adopted by the body by choice, similar to antibiotic resistance or resistance to weight loss.

 The body, not the bacteria, is the one that fights the antibiotic. Likewise, cells may resist external insulin, preventing blood sugar from decreasing, because the common understanding of insulin’s role may be incorrect. When these inputs are corrected, the body stops “resisting” and returns to its natural state without the need for external medication .
