biblical diet
Scripture-based food plan
A biblical diet follows eating guidelines derived from religious scriptures, particularly the dietary laws in Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
These may include avoiding pork and shellfish, eating only animals with split hooves that chew cud, or following other restrictions attributed to ancient Israelite practice.
The term covers both strict kosher observance and looser modern interpretations marketed as health regimens: She lost twenty pounds on a biblical diet.
Some versions emphasize whole, unprocessed foods presumed available in biblical times.
