Food list › The pantry

Is white bread allowed on the Tayyibat diet?

No

No. Dr. Al-Awadi excluded this food himself.

Why white bread is off the list

Milling strips out the best parts of the grain and leaves fast starch behind. It raises your blood sugar almost as fast as sugar itself. That's why it's the first food you drop in week one.

The detail

Milling strips out the bran and germ, leaving fast-digesting starch with little of the grain's original nutrition. It raises blood sugar almost as quickly as sugar itself. First elimination of Week 1.
