    Food Combining is NOT a diet.... it's a healthy way to eat. Your body uses different chemicals to digest different kinds of food, so when you combine the wrong things.... digestion can take longer because you have chemicals fighting each other. I work with a girl who has been eating like this for years. It doesnt make her skinny, but she doesnt have digestion problems. There are many books on food combining in the library if anyone would care to learn about it, instead of bashing someone for trying it. I think its a great way to eat, but I cant eat like that all the time. There IS one thing I learned and do implement in my eating..... fruit doesnt combine with any other food and should be eaten on an empty stomach. Think about it.... if you eat a normal dinner, then follow it with a fruit cup.... the fruit will start to rot in your stomach before it gets digested because the meal is trying to be digested and take much longer.

    Again.... food combining is not a diet, but it's definitely better for your digestion.


    Lol what? The explain to me how my blood sugars go high 5 minutes after eating fruit or any carb, no matter what I eat with it if I don't take my insulin? It's BS. Your digestion process begins in the mouth when you start chewing. By the time your food enters your stomach, it's one big ball of mush, no matter if you did or didn't combine proteins and carbs.

    Holy basic biology.

    i haven't tried but i am curious to try it out. The way ones eat plays an important role. With less calories too a person can feel full depending upon if he is eating the right food.

    Could somebody please explain why posters use their first post resurrecting long dead threads????.

    I would guess that they're actually trying to be good by using the search function instead of posting a new topic, but then don't check the date it was posted. There have been times when I've searched for something and the only things that came up were quite old posts.

    Do what's right for you. If this kind of eating satisfies you, physically/mentally, then all the more power to you and I wish you well. As long as you're hitting your calories/fats/protein etc etc etc, who cares HOW you did it??
    Good luck with your goals!!


    I laughed seeing how old this was AFTER replying.
