Foods to Avoid on the Bible Diet

Learn what not to eat on the Bible Diet, which foods may be considered unclean in biblical eating, and how to choose foods that support moderation, stewardship, and whole-food nutrition.

The Bible Diet generally discourages highly processed foods and excessive consumption of sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial ingredients.

Depending on one's interpretation of Scripture, some followers also avoid foods classified as unclean foods in the Old Testament, including:

  • Pork

  • Shellfish

  • Certain birds and animals listed in Leviticus 11

Many people also choose to limit:

  • Refined sugars

  • Processed snacks

  • Sugary beverages

  • Excessive alcohol

The goal is not restriction for its own sake but choosing foods that align with biblical principles of health, moderation, and stewardship.
