Israel's Kabbalist superstar Rabbi Eliahu Leon Levi of Bnei Brak, has banged out THE KABBALIST DIET in his new book Mishbatzot Zahav Livusha… it is unclear how he intends to pull out the carbs from challah, but Rabbi Leon Levi gives you recipes on how to make soup, meat, and most importantly fresh salad….Kabbalahrama!
Some highlights:
- “You must not drink any carbonated beverages, fruit juices, nor beer, especially when they are cold, and it is best not to drink them at all.” (What, no recommendation for THIS?)
- Reduce hot spicey foods “the sharpness can cause nervous tension, and sometimes even hemorrhoids. ”
- “The recommended bread for all meals is a French baguette, long, well baked, and almost empty of dough inside. It is a good idea to store eight or ten baguettes in the freezer for future meals. One should eat about eighteen centimeters of the baguette at each meal.” (TAKE THAT ATKINS!) more can be found here
While he is at it Rabbi Leon also gives some other tips on health including Sleeping schedule
- Always go to sleep before 10pm in the winter and 11pm in the summer, and always wake up by 6:00AM”
- “It is also beneficial to sleep in a very dark room, since this relaxes the eyes and the intellectual faculties”
The moment of zen, if you can't sleep Rabbi Leon recommends reading his books. 🙂
“In the event that you find it hard to sleep, it is recommended that women read from the book, “Mishbatzot Zahav Levushah.” By reading a few pages you will fall into a deep and healthy sleep. It is recommended that men read from the books “Tzaakat Yisrael” and “Kedushat Yisrael.” By reading a few pages, you will fall into a calm and refreshing sleep.”
