Does anyone know where I can read about proper food combining - with
examples because I'm not always sure what is starch, sweet fruit, acid
food etc. to be sure I'm following the correct guidelines.
Thanks
Leah

axel:
i can say how food combining relates to MY belly everytime i
follow the
rules or i break them. for example: if i eat avos or nuts or
seeds with
sweet fruit, i have gas afterwards. if i eat avos nuts or seeds
with
cucumbers and/or green leafy vegetables or tomatoes, no gas.
this is
"scientific proof", in my book. because i have eaten the wrong
combination
many times, and the right combination many times also, and
always get the
same result.
same thing if i eat starches with sweet fruit. always gas. no
exceptions.
so food combining has some basis at least in my physiology ;)
some people report that they benefit from food combining,
i do not see what is wrong about food combining. you can still
eat cooked
food, RAF, etc.
does anybody really know why the ANHS no longer promotes food
combining? i
read that maybe to attract more people to healthy eating, but
this seems
too superficial a reason, IMHO, considering that there is at
least
something to food combining. it might not be a life or death
issue, but it
is not non-existent either.
