CHAPTER 10
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.
