Chapter - Train Yourself to Eat as Allah as Advised
To keep healthy and strong, and live a long time, on this old earth, ALLAH said to me, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, eat one meal a day. Or, one meal every two days, or three days. Do not get frightened, Brothers and Sisters, with your meal hours being lengthened, that you may die or become too hungry.
YOU WILL live and you will not be hungry, after you have gotten your stomach used to the long intervals between meals. Your stomach will take food only when you give it food. And, it won’t ask you for any food until that certain hour to which you have accustomed it to being fed.
I used to think like you, before the coming of our God and Saviour, in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad, to Whom Praise is due forever. I began practicing eating one meal every day - nothing between like food. I got used to that within a couple of weeks. And, after a certain length of time, I tried eating once every two days, with nothing between but coffee.
I did not try to pour all of the cream and sugar out of the cream and sugar bowls into the coffee. I sweetened and creamed it the same as I did when I was eating three meals a day, because we can live on cream and sugar for a long time. But, it is not good that we do this through our coffee, for our health’s sake. I felt better eating one meal every two days, or 48 hours, with nothing between.
I also tried eating one meal every 72 hours, due to the fact that He had told me that if I ate one meal every three days, I would never be sick, and I thought I would try it, before teaching it. So, I did for a few months and I felt better than I felt when I was eating one meal every 48 hours. And, I can bear witness that I did not have the symptoms of illness at any time. My whole body felt light and my head was clear. I could almost hear insects crawling (smile).
IT IS NOT so much what you eat when you begin eating one meal everyday, or every two or three days, it is just that you do not eat foods that are against your health. I have described in this article, time and again that which He pointed out to me. But most people like us to eat the inexpensive food, because we do not have the finance to buy expensive foods that rich millionaires eat. So, He prescribed for us, dry navy beans, bread and milk.
The bread should be cooked thoroughly done, or either toasted, in order to cook it through. It should be made and risen by yeast. And, He Did Prescribe cooking this bread two or three times, if we would take time and do so. He said it was better for us.
No corn bread at all! He Said that it was too hard for our stomachs to digest. Corn was not made for us to turn it into meal to eat. It was made for live stock and cattle, and not for human consumption. The only corn that we eat, is that in the milk stage.
Eat butter, milk and fresh vegetables - but not your old favorite collard greens, cabbage sprouts, turnip salads, mustard salads, beet top salads, kale, etc.
YOUR BEST vegetables are: cauliflower, cabbages (not the green cabbages). If you love turnips, eat the roots, not the salad. Some other vegetables we eat are as follows: brussel sprouts, asparagus, eggplant, okra, squash and rhubarb.
There are some asking about eating sardines. They are only for us to eat if we travel and cannot get other foods. But, please do not buy them, unless they are fresh where you can clean them, and not packed already. There are some packed that are clean, but they are a little expensive. They are called Portuguese sardines.
There are other herbs that we can eat that are not mentioned here. But, please, whenever you decide on eating something that is not in this book, write me, because there are some that are not good, on the market, for you and me.
Eating once every other day, the right foods, will get you the best of health and long life, as ALLAH has Taught me.
