See book keywords and concepts |  It's not what you eat, it's what you digest and proper food combining can assist you greatly on that count. Because different foods require different digestive juices and enzymes to digest them, food combining is a way of supporting this natural biological system of processing and assimilating foods. food combining is a fantastic way to improve your digestion and elimination, lose weight, and increase your energy. If you watch young children, you will see that they often eat one thing at a time, indicating a natural propensity to combine foods properly. |

Natural hygiene is a philosophy that promotes entirely natural means to heal the body by using properly combined whole plant foods, exercise, Sunshine, and rest, The principles of food combining espoused by natural hygiene in books such as the Diamond's Fit For Life, and Herbert Shelton's food combining Made Easy work extremely well for the average individual who is new to this diet information. They worked for me when I first applied them. These principles essentially demonstrate that cooked proteins (fish, tofu, etc.) and cooked carbohydrates (potatoes, rice, etc. |

Placing greens in the same category as vegetables has caused people to mistakenly apply the combining rules of starchy vegetables to greens. Driven by this confusion, many concerned people wrote to me inquiring if blending fruits with greens was proper food combining. They had heard that "fruits and vegetables did not mix well. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eating too many foods that require strong acid secretions, as well as improper food combining (for more details, see Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation by the author), often disturb balanced acid production. Esophageal reflux, commonly known as "heartburn," is a condition in which stomach acid washes upward into the esophagus and causes irritation or injury to the delicate tissues lining the esophagus. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Only those very few people who have no digestive problems, chew food extremely well, and eat mostly vegetables and all-natural foods, may be able to achieve optimum health without following the rules of food combining.
SIMPLE RULES FOR FOOD COMBINING
The basic principles underlying the rules for food combining are extremely simple. They can be summed up in three statements:
1. Proteins, acidic fruits, and green vegetables can be eaten together.
2. Fats, starches, and green vegetables can be eaten together.
3. |

Craig Pepin-Donat
See book keywords and concepts |  Fit for Life focuses on food combining with an emphasis on living foods such as raw fruits and vegetables.
Other diets that use a cultural hook include: The Mediterranean Diet, Japanese Women Don't Get Fat and French Women Don't Get Fat. Desperate dieters still follow the Cabbage Soup Diet or the Grapefruit Diet. Others join Weight Watchers, Nutrisystem® and Jenny Craig®, each of which tries to convince you that you need their food menus to succeed. Slimfast would have you believe that replacing meals with shakes is the answer.
These diets have two things in common. |

Diamond has shown through his personal life and his writings that one of the most effective ways to support optimal health and overcome disease is to eat raw food. In his latest book, Living Without Pain, he shows how enzymes play a crucial role in overcoming some of the most common diseases that cause debilitating pain.

Dr. Fuller's interest in holistic health began over twenty years ago when her daughter became ill and was given only a short time to live. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It is a time to begin our awareness of food combining.
This stage takes time. It requires discovering and thinking about what has been put in the foods. It requires learning where to shop to get healthy foods. In this stage we may want to fast from all flesh foods for one week two times per year.
- Stage II Diet -
In this stage we eliminate all red meats and begin to add more fruits and vegetables into our diet. These are important because their alkalinizing minerals help the system begin to rebalance and detoxify from the acid production of red meats. |
Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C.
See book keywords and concepts | | So as not to confuse our simple definition of natural, we will leave that particular topic for a later discussion on food combining in the upcoming chapter, The Basics. Another matter that we will discuss here has to do with something else that is often considered natural for humans to consume. It has to do with a specific food, loathed by some and gorged by others, and begs the question... to eat or not to eat — meat?
Probably the most hotly contested debate regarding the human diet is that of the meat-eaters versus the vegetarians. | | Eating fruit is very cleansing to the digestive organs and eliminative tract when eaten on an empty stomach in keeping with proper food combining principles. Although fruit is not a great source of balanced nutrition (vegetables are a better source), most fruits do provide fiber, phytochemicals, vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium and also have a high water content, and are thus very hydrating to the body. |

WHAT IT IS IN A NUTSHELL
A version of food combining. You eat full-fat foods like butter, cream, eggs, and red meat, plus whole-grain carbs, fruit, and vegetables, but only in certain combinations. No calorie counting or carb measuring.
About Somersizing
The basic premise of Somersizing is that foods fall into four groups, which Suzanne Somers defines as protein/fats, veggies, carbs, and fruits. There is a fifth group called "funky foods," which you can't eat at all, at least during level one, the weight loss phase. | | I have minor quibbles, emphasis on minor: there is a lot of talk about cellulite and how the plan can reduce it, which I think is highly speculative, as is the section on food combining. I'd like to have seen alpha lipoic acid mentioned as an important supplement for liver health. In my opinion, there is disproportionate emphasis on flaxseed oil and not enough on fish oil, which provides equally important omega-3s that are harder for the body to make on its own. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Pineapple contains the digestive enzyme bromelain, which makes pineapple salsa a wise choice when making Mexican dishes, which typically violates food combining principles, and are therefore difficult to digest.
• Some people do better having protein in the morning (especially people who are hypoglycemic). These two dishes are a tasty choice. Served with afresh green salad, they are also excellent for lunch or dinner. |
Mary-Ann Shearer
See book keywords and concepts |  It was only when we started combining our food correctly after reading the book food combining for Health that I experienced immediate relief. My nose stopped running instantly and my hands took about four days to stop itching and clear up. With our new, properly combined eating regime, indigestion became a thing of the past and our energy levels soared. Two months later we were so well we had almost forgotten what we had felt like before and went back to our old way of eating. |
Byron J. Richards, CCN
See book keywords and concepts |  However, the diet is not based on food combining, food rotation, or avoidance of food based on blood types.
The Leptin Diet™ is not based on calorie manipulation; it is based on more efficient calorie utilization. If we "manipulate calories" it is only to improve utilization. We do not want an individual ending up a carbohydrate cripple or heading back to a weight gain pattern because they find it impossible to avoid something. The only way to maintain healthy weight over the long run is to efficiently burn calories and have a proper brain set point for body weight. |
Mary-Ann Shearer
See book keywords and concepts | | I came across the book food combining for Health (Jean Joice and Doris Grant) and we put the principles of food-combining into practice and things started to change. And how they changed! My indigestion disappeared, never to return (except when I cheat), and Mary-Ann's many maladies cleared up within days. That was my first realization that there is more to this "diet thing" than just feeding our faces.
I'm not going to rewrite the book as all is basically said and done, but let me add that as a man, a husband, a father, and a businessman, you need your energy. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | In stage III the awareness of and knowledge about food combining, high- or low-protein diet according to constitution, how to prepare vegan foods, and the proper timing and amounts of foods become more refined. It is the beginning stage of learning about sprouting skills and the meaning of rejuvenating foods. The refined stage III is primarily a shift to 60-80 percent bioactive (raw) and biogenic (life-generating) foods and 20-40 percent biostatic (cooked) foods. The cooked foods are usually beans, grains, and hard vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. |
Victoria Boutenko, M.A.
See book keywords and concepts | | Driven by this confusion, many concerned people wrote to me inquiring if blending fruits with greens was proper food combining. They had heard that "fruits and vegetables did not mix well." Yes, to combine starchy vegetables with fruits would not be a good idea. Such a combination can cause gas in the intestines. However, greens are not vegetables and greens are not starchy. In fact, greens are the only food group that helps digest other foods through stimulating the secretion of digestive enzymes. Thus, greens can be combined with any other foods. |

2. Fats, starches, and green vegetables can be eaten together.

To see the reasoning behind these basic principles, it is necessary to understand some things about the nature of the different categories of foods. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | These amino acids diffuse into the bloodstream and either go directly to the cells that need them or to the liver, where they are built into new proteins and sent out into the blood to be carried to the appropriate sites. food combining to get complete proteins at one meal is completely unnecessary for these three reasons: our amino acid/protein equilibrium system, our cellular protein storage, and the free flow of amino acids in our amino acid pool.
There Is Enough Protein in Vegan Foods
The biggest fear generated by pro-meat eaters and new vegetarians is about not getting enough protein. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Much of this is because people don't know how to be conscious vegans, which requires knowledge of food combining and live-food preparation. While one can be an unconscious meat eater, veganism requires a lot of consciousness to be successful. Most people who fail at veganism do so because they lack the proper nutritional understanding, not because their bodies are not designed for it. They fail to take the vegan food necessary for their body type or the season. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Even with proper food combining, some vegetarian women may need a protein supplement. To assure adequate intake of vitamins and minerals, a well-formulated prenatal supplement should be used.
Folic acid is of particular importance. This B-vitamin has been shown to prevent the occurrence of neural tube defects (NTDs). The neural tube is the portion of the fetus that develops into the brain and spinal cord. Neural tube defects are among the most common birth defects, and they can result in severe disability or death. |
