Susan and Beverle, Loren Cordain recently had an interesting post on the Paleodiet Symposium about the eating habits of hunters and gatherers. To paraphrase, Dr. Cordain stated that eating lots of carbohydrate and protein at the same meal would not have been the usual pattern of eating for paleo people. If a hunt was successful, then mainly protein and fat would be consumed during that meal. At other times, gathered fruits and vegetables would have been the major component of the meal. So, food combining may have paleo/evoluntionary basis. It certainly would be worth a try to see if there are benefits. Dr. Cordain's post can be found in the archives of the Paleodiet Symposium.
