Has anyone read this book & followed the guidelines? How has it affected you? I know intermittent fasting is basically ripped from this book
The Hon. Elijah Muhammad's "How To Eat To Live"

Read it years ago, as an important book of AA history and a pioneering work that questioned mainstream American dietary habits. Didn't and don't follow the guidelines.
I went from 276 pounds to 160 pounds (I'm 182 pounds today, I slacked off) doing One Meal A Day and looking back on it now, I do not know where I got that willpower from because It's hard as hell for me to do One Meal A Day today. I go to the gym, and I work in construction, I gotta eat Breh. I really want to get back on it though, but to answer your question OP, I've never read the book.

Lost 20 pounds in the last 2 months doing the one meal a day. 210 to 190 now…still gotta drop down to 175 . I feel so much healthier and my mind is clearer. Not Muslim, but a great book for all black people to read to atleast have a good level of self awareness with anything you put in your mouth.

I’ve been vegetarian omad for about 9 months now
Only thing I don’t do is I forget to toast my bread sometimes but I pretty much follow it to a tee now after learning and growing in the material pretty much all my life
Nah. I live to eat

A lotta y’all making the concept of having a healthy lifestyle harder than it is.
• Eat colorful unprocessed food
• Stay in a caloric deficit
• Do weight training
• Stay consistent.

First was given this book at 15 by a uncle who did 16 joints and converted while up north.
shyt changed my entire life.
I started eating once a day at 16,and I still do.
I used to follow the book to the T,but I have since incorporated cauliflower and broccoli and collard greens into my diet,but alot of the book still resonates in my daily eating habits.
Yea, I started doing 16:8 which is a good starting point, but once I got in the groove of doing 16:8 Intermittent Fasting, I started doing 20/4 then eventually OMAD.
Losing weight on OMAD was like... weird because it took a couple days for the weight to fall off, but when the weight falls off, it falls off FAST. Let it be known that I had no gym membership when I started fasting either.
I want to go back down to 160, but a Breh who I talked to at the gym asked me if I wanted to be able to defend myself?
I asked him what?
He told me If I lose to much weight a dude gon slam me in a fight... I'm #shortgang though.

I didn't mean to verge!
I don't follow like 99% of it, but cutting out white bread (bread period), eating mostly veggies, eating one meal a day, liquid fasting and generally not eating like a hog is universally great advice
I might try following it for a week one of these days

Never read cause I assumed the main focus was not eating pork
Always thought it had the GOAT title for a diet book though
