Eltaibat
Eltaibat — your daily companion for simple, natural eating
The principle
Fast as much as you can, eat only when truly hungry, and don't fill your stomach. The foods here are the gentlest on digestion — keeping the stomach clean so the body has room to recover.
Daily staples
The everyday foods you can rely on daily — and could live on alone — are: rice, potatoes, dates, oil, and sugar. The rest of the allowed foods are fine, but not as a daily repeat.

A light dinner sleeps peacefully. A heavy meal before bed strains the body all night.
Chewing well is the first step of digestion. Don't rush.
