Food Combining

Anyone using this technique? I have been reading about splitting up your carbs and proteins into different meals. Reminds me a lot of the scarsdale diet I did when I was a lot younger. Although that one also restricted what you could eat.

Is anyone doing this? Is it successful? Any tips?

i usually try to group everything i eat with a protein. protein helps keeps me full. fruit and nuts or cheese, vegetables and hummus. salad and chicken breast.

I can't fathom why anyone would want to split their carbs and proteins into different meals. Protein helps you process the carbs more evenly, slowing down the metabolization of the carbs, leaving you with a more even blood sugar.

I've actually been instructed to do the exact opposite, and eat protein every single time i ingest carbs.

My last post may have come across as condescending. It wasn't intended as such :flowerforyou:

I like to have a protien and a carb with every meal I eat otherwise I am left feeling unsatisfied

LOLOLOL I'm trying to read that article, but it's giving me a craving for glazed donuts and booze!

OK, so I got through the article without running to Dunkin Donuts..... and what I see here is they are suggesting to lay off the fats and highly refined sugars, not so much suggesting to eat them separate from one another.

I still say, clean protein paired with unprocessed carbs is the way to go
