Guest guest Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 I still can't see how you can have a good protein without fat. All animal protein has fat dispersed through it even it you tried to cut it out it would be almost impossible. Even soy (which should not be used in anyone's diet unless very infrequently and fermented) has fat in it. Of course you want to be sure to eat good fats, not things like vegetable oils.

Not overworking digestion with the two processes at once makes sense. Can't imagine veggies without buttering myself. Butter better on steak or eggs, actually.

There are a number of food combining programs, some are more strict than others, but I think the no " free " fat rule is out there to say the least. My experience has been that the worse your diet and digestion, the more beneficial food combining is. The better your diet and digestion the less necessary it is. Best bet is to play around with the combos and see what works for you. I have followed most of the food combining programs over the years, some quite strictly, even having a very handy dandy full color chart on my refrigerator illustrating in a nice and concise way the various combos, and received some benefits, especially regarding digestion and weight loss. But that was long ago, and these days, I don't find it necessary or all that helpful except for a few combos that never seem to work for me no matter the quality of the food. -- You are a libertarian because " you're willing to tolerate anything that's peaceful, and you practice the principle of live and let live – opposing the initiation of force (violence) against anyone for any purpose.

My digestive system works poorly which is why I had to bite the bullet and start looking to these rules for relief. So far I try to eat protein alone fifty percent of the time and I mostly try to eat fruit alone although I just discovered coconut creme on pineapple tastes really good and there's that fat and fruit combo...

Oh well. So does the pineapple fruit and fat combo work for you? My initial introduction to food combining was via the Herbert Shelton and the Natural Hygiene folks, and looking back over the basic principles: http://chetday.com/fcprins.html , I see that fats and proteins are to be kept separate. Obviously they mean added fat (or at least they should) since protein/fat usually come packaged together. But I also recall that eating what they defined as acid fruit was okay with fats, it was one of the exceptions Shelton mentions in his book. It was okay with dairy to even though the general rule was eat dairy alone or leave it alone. In my California days, during the summer, I used to look forward to a big huge bowl of homemade fruit salad in kefir each morning for breakfast back when I was hot and heavy into food combining. There _are_ less restrictive approaches, some that have been used medically, which allow for the added fat/protein combo, like the approach by Dr. Hay, http://www.netfit.co.uk/fatcom.htm. In his approach fats are considerd neutral and can be mixed with anything. There is also the ayurvedic approach, which I am unfamiliar with. So I would experiment before committing myself one way or another. Actually I would look into the whole concept of remineralizing your body and thus restoring your digestion, but that is a topic for another time. -- You are a libertarian because " you're willing to tolerate anything that's peaceful, and you practice the principle of live and let live – opposing the initiation of force (violence) against anyone for any purpose.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Ya' know, Adelle ("Diet for a Small Planet") came out and said what she wrote back in the '60s is wrong about food combining. Said it's not necessary to actually eat a combination at each meal. You can combine over the course of three days. We were talking about animals in the wild eating and I mentioned they don't build fires and cook their food. The other thing they don't do is combine foods. Ever watch grazers? They eat only one type of grass, meat eaters eat only meat, meaning they eat what is in front of them and that's it until they move on. They don't pick some plums here and then go away to find some green leaves to eat with the plums. Mono eating is the ultimate in aiding your digestion. I've done 7 days on just bananas and it was the best I ever felt! At the moment I eat nothing but grapes for lunch. They are foraged from an abandoned vineyard in eastern Washington. THE BEST! Their sweetness is amazing and they even have seeds! I refuse to eat fruit without seeds. I figure if they can't reproduce themselves how can they feed me? By Dr. Graham................... What does "mono-eating" mean? It is the practice of eating one particular food for an entire meal, in sufficient quantity to become satisfied until the next meal. For example, a mono meal of bananas might consist of 6-8 bananas for a beginner or 12-18 bananas for a seasoned, raw athlete. Another mono meal might be eight oranges, for a beginner. Food is eaten this way for improved digestion, absorption and assimilation. Variety is obtained over time, not at every meal. In nature, if sufficient food is available, animals tend to eat one food at a time until they are full. http://www.foodnsport.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content & task=view & id=19 & Itemid=65 AND http://www.living-foods.com/articles/instinctive.html Shari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Digestion is so much more efficient with mono eating... this is the same basis with fasting.
