Riley (2011) states in his book that eating less has
many benefits and it’s not all about eating less,
eating quality food is necessary for us to have
better life, mood, and sleep. This claim is further
supported by Janet that use of your mind to
change your body.
1
We can use our mind to eat less to have better
mind and body (Thomson, 2012).
2
It is clearly understood from the scientific point
of view to follow healthy diet which Islam
recommends.
In this relationship, Imam Baqir (as) said:
“God hates the person who fills their stomach and full
stomach leads to transgression”.
3
one of the famous hadith from Prophet
Mohammad (saww) is to do these three things less:
1. Eat
2. Sleep
3. Speak

The full stomach cause more disease, heartache,
and makes the body weak to pray.
Therefore, Islam talked about this issue in details
to eat less and never fill your stomach.
