NOPE
Try dropping some Guinness in your cream instead. After a couple irish car bombs you wont feel that sore throat at all!0 -
All due respect, but this sounds insane. If eating were this complicated, the human race would have died out long ago.
Also assuming the theory is true (which I take leave to doubt) why is digesting faster an advantage? Why would speed matter? Is there some detriment to food taking a bit longer to digest? As long as your body can use it who cares whether it takes 3 hours or 6 hours?
Presumably if you digest it faster then your body won't have a chance to make you fat with it? LOL.

Reading this post as I consume chicken and mashed potatoes. I've never felt so rebellious.0

Either that or it makes you fat faster.0 -
QDoes anyone feel the need to do this?
I do this sometimes but other times I just end up mixing the wrong combinations as long as its in my calorie goal.
I know its supposed to help food digest better.
I don't think I want my food to digest better. If it does, it's just going to be whooshing through my system faster and I'll be combining apples with cheddar at 11 pm again

But what if the light liquor is a mohito? Mint is a veggie so that should be ok, right?0 -
Quick food combining lesson
Fruits by themselves
Meats can go with veggies
Carbs can go with veggies
Legumes can go with all but fruit.
Water inbetween meals only.
Quick question on this: Are we going with biological definitions of fruits, or Legal/Tax definitions.
This is important because I need to know if I can eat tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, eggplant, capers, okra, peppers, avacados, olives and others with meat or not (they're all fruit)
Bonus Crap: A banana is a berry, and a strawberry is not.
Beer goes with everything, it's a carb and berry
Rum goes with coke.
Whiskey goes with a shotglass. @SSE check with Sullus, he's an expert on this0 -

Only if the mint isn't curated.0 -

Have you ever *tried* a mojito with museum-quality mint?

Mojitos are my friend.0 -
Oh my goodness gracious. This is not what I thought it would be about at all. Diabetics are instructed to get at least two and preferably three food groups in at every meal. Each food type is absorbed at a different rate so the combination gives the diabetic a nice steady supply of glucose (which it is all turned in to eventually). People without diabetes control this reaction with naturally occurring insulin.
The other type of food combining I recall is combining various types of vegetable proteins (amino acids) to make a more "complete" protein in a meal. But I've read recently this careful combining is bunkum. Our bodies are pretty good at taking whatever we shake at them.

I thought it was going to be about a diabetic type diet, too

They say that your body produces certain intestinal juices to digest different types of food and if you combine them properly it digests a lot faster.
Since it takes a lot longer for food to digest than many people seem to realize, I'm not sure how this would help. By the time the food gets through the stomach and hits the "intestinal juices" it will all be mixed together anyway, right?

Not an expert, but this theory of "food combining" to aid digestion sounds like a whole lot of tosh to me.

I do admit threads like this are the reason I come to these forums.

Well, I dip my steak in mashed potatoes so I don't think this is going to work out.0

I thought this was going to be a thread about 'what tastes best with ___" --- I'm always up for some tasty suggestions.
Disappointed.

Every time the lady at Frisch's asks me if I want to make that a combo, I say yes.0
