" Eat one meal a day or one meal every other day, and it will prolong your life. Do not think that you will starve. On the contrary, you will be treating yourself to life, and a life filled with sickless days. You can hardly get sick eating this way. I know because I have this experience.
If you eat the proper food - which I have given to you from Allah ( in the Person of Master Fard Muhammad to Whom praise be forever ) in this book - you will hardly ever have a headache.
In eating once a day or once every other day, you must not eat between meals. And, you should try to eat the same hour tomorrow as you eat today. Do not change your meal hours if you can help it. That causes your stomach to react to various hours of the day for a meal, and will set up gas on the stomach. Do not drink juices, milk, or soft drinks between meals. "
