The food combining diet reveals some pretty startling facts. Some of your favourite meals could be sabotaging your dieting goals. This diet is said to optimize digestion so that you digest and process food faster.

Examples of poor food combinations

-Carbs with citrus (such as a tomato sandwich or toast with marmelade)

-Avoiding complex and simple protein combinations (like chicken and cheddar or eggs and ham)

-Don’t mix protein and starch such as a meat sandwich or pasta with meat sauce

-No starch with sugar combo (for example, baked goods)

What should be combined? 

-Vegetables do well with anything and help speed digestion so meat and salad or pasta primavera both work well together

-Eat fruit alone. Eating fruit with other items could slow the digestion process which makes the fruit simply go rancid in your digestive system and this can slow the transit time plus prevent your body from processing the fruit’s vitamins and nutrients.

Eating optimal food and optimal food combinations could help your health in many ways and easier digestion might be something you’ve never experienced before. Some people are particularly sensitive to food and don’t realize it until they remove the combination from their diet and experience the absence of digestive problems. Eat well and live well!
