Alimenti consentiti e vietati
Una guida agli alimenti del Sistema Tayebat, ordinati per livello di permesso (zone colorate).
How to read this list
This is a list of what the Tayebat System allows and forbids, collected from the system's own sources with the condition or frequency attached to each item. It documents the system's rules; it is not a health rating of foods:
- "Allowed" means allowed by the system only, not that a food is healthy or right for you — sugar, dates and white rice are allowed daily, and all raise blood sugar.
- "Forbidden" does not mean harmful: many forbidden items here — leafy vegetables, legumes, eggs, milk and yoghurt — are recommended by the World Health Organization as part of a healthy diet.
- What each colour zone means, and how to handle mixed dishes and disputed items, is explained in the colour-zone guide.
- If you have diabetes or a chronic condition, or take regular medication, read the medical safety page before changing anything, and never stop a medicine.
