The Islamic diet

The Islamic diet

It depends on foods mentioned in the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. The owner of this method is Dr. Amjad Hazza, a specialist in physical therapy and nutrition. Since dates themselves and milk are considered a meal by themselves in therapeutic nutrition, they provide carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, high-value proteins, sugars, etc. Therefore, there is no harm at all from the following program. No one is unaware that the Virgin Mary's food was only fresh. Then God Almighty said to her: “And shake the trunk of the palm tree at you, and it will let down upon you fresh fruits.” This method was published in the daily newspaper Rose Al-Yousef, and it was also spread on many websites and shared in many forums due to its ease of application and good results. To complete a nutritionally complete meal, use milk as the primary source of high-value animal protein. But we use milk (especially cow's milk because it contains a high percentage of water) and it is possible to use buffalo milk as well, and we use half a kilo of milk daily in three cups. The program has great medical and wonderful benefits. The program helps wash away diseases from the body. Since dates contain a very, very high percentage of carbohydrates, which can be converted into fats, there must be something to prevent the conversion of carbohydrates into fats (apple cider vinegar) and exploiting them in the form of energy.

Nutritional program

1 - Five dates + a cup of milk (as shown above) 2 - Half a small spoon of apple cider vinegar in half a cup of water

The foundations on which the Islamic diet depends on fasting

1- Not to go to excess in food, in accordance with the Almighty’s saying: “And eat and drink, and do not be extravagant” [Al-A’raf: 31]. 2- Practicing the greatest sport with a lot of pleasure and enjoyment, which is Tarawih prayer. 3- Walk for an hour daily and do some exercise for at least half an hour, one and a half hours before breakfast or after Tarawih prayers, provided that the nutritional program contains calories of 1200-2000 calories and no more. 4- The fasting person must follow the same routine as his normal life before fasting, especially in terms of work, movement and sleep. E - Fasting is an opportunity to get used to regulating and moderating food, and a similar regime can be continued after Ramadan. 6- The fasting person must realize that the weight loss process must be gradual and steady by eliminating foods with excess energy (fats, sugars, and starches), and this requires a strong will like yours. Fasting is an opportunity to rest the stomach, so do not overeat meat and foods that are difficult to digest. 8- Fasting is not only deprivation of food due to hunger, but it is an opportunity to move liver sugar, fat stored under the skin, muscle proteins, glands, and liver cells, which leads to cleaning the body and tissues and replacing cells. 9- The fasting person must realize that fasting during the month of Ramadan provides protection and treatment for some diseases of the digestive system, nervous system, skin, and many other diseases, as scientific research indicates.

The Ten Commandments of the Islamic Diet

1. Do not eat except when you feel hungry and between meals eat something low in calories, such as (An apple, then 2 cups of water or some vegetables) The feeling of hunger causes the fat cells to stop emptying their contents and reduces metabolism and fat burning. Therefore, eating something low in calories encourages weight loss.
2. When you feel hungry, drink a cup of cold, not iced water, because iced water reduces the body’s immunity and causes numbness to the digestive system, so the person eats without feeling, and I know that starting to drink water may have greater benefits. The effect is to reduce the amount of food, and this feeling may be the result of thirst, not hunger. If you start eating, it is preferable that the first course of the meal be a fruit dish, then a green salad dish that contains most of the leafy vegetables such as parsley, celery, dill, coriander, and lettuce.
3. Try not to eat sugar in your meals or reduce the daily amount of sugar. In your meals to a minimum, it can be replaced with honey.
4. Remember that your body needs different types of different nutrients to achieve nutritional balance, so you can eat whatever food and drinks you prefer, even if they are on the prohibited list, such as chocolate and sweets, provided that they are This should be done in moderation, and on days when the diet is broken, it is preferable to put it in the freezer so that it takes longer to eat it.
5. Eat your food as slowly as possible, as this will help you limit the intake of large amounts of food, and only put small amounts on your plate. Do not eat any quantities that exceed your actual need, and try to reduce your use of table salt as much as possible because salt increases water retention in cells and reduces the fat burning process. Be careful not to concentrate while eating, as lack of concentration helps you eat large amounts of food, especially foods that gain weight. We mention some forms of lack of concentration, for example, but not limited to, as follows: A- Eating while engrossed in watching television programs, while engaged in reading, listening to entertaining music, or engaging in mental or manual work. B- Eating snacks between meals, whether at home or at work, and the individual may not remember them, while the calorie counter records them in the body, so the weight gain adds a few extra kilograms that the body does not need. C- Eating with others, as this leads to a lack of concentration. It is almost impossible to determine the types and quantities while being in a group.
6. Try to apply a system of gradual rationalization of food quantities, meaning gradually reducing the quantities of food. For example, try to reduce bread from one loaf to half a loaf to a quarter of a loaf, and meat from Two slices to one to half a slice per meal.
7. Walk now, walk at least an hour a day, and you can do some Swedish exercises for a quarter of an hour a day and start stretching and becoming more flexible.
8. Do not rush the results of following the diet. To lose weight, obesity is the harvest of many years of accumulated calories, and do not let despair find its way to you.
9. When attending parties, open buffets, and banquets, you must first take two glasses of water, then a cup of juice, then 2 pieces of fruit, then anything you desire, not deprivation.
10. Never use weight-loss medications in the process of losing weight (the World Health Organization itself has declared that all weight-loss medications are very harmful to health, even those that affect satiety, making people extremely bulimia after they leave them... and with the necessity of adhering to low-calorie nutrition programs Heat with exercise programs such as walking and aerobics.
