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.0 -

I don't know a lot about this I just heard about it.

Then your whole post is...Wow that is a pretty broad statement about something you just heard about.0 -

Meat = Protein.
Your body needs protein, carbs & fat. You should get all three. Most people stay satisfied longer if you have all three. i.e. If you eat mostly carbs, you will be hungry faster than if you had protein and fat with it.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?0 -
A lady at work always told me to put cream in my wine to help with a sore throat.

Try dropping some Guinness in your cream instead. After a couple irish car bombs you wont feel that sore throat at all!0 -

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
