Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 I think you can still follow the diet and practice good food combining habits. The basic rules are eat fruit on an empty stomach or before your main meal, not after as many do. Don't mix proteins and concentrated carbohydrates at the same meal. I always know when I get it wrong because the food I eat repeats on me afterwards, if the combining is right then it flows through effortlessly. Wind is also a symptom of poor food combining. in NZ. --- Original Message --- Wrote on Wed, 12 Jul 2000 16:14:13 -0500 ------------------ > I think there's a lot to be said for food combining.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 , What I meant was that if you're on the Carb Addict's Diet, you HAVE to have carbs and proteins at the same meal. Lots of us are trying to mix ER and CAD. So it's interesting that one group (CAD) says to lose weight you must mix and other groups say if you mix carbs & proteins your food won't digest properly. > RE: Food Combining > > > > I think you can still follow the diet and practice good food > combining habits.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 I don't know much about (CAD) is there a web site with information about the system ? would be interested to learn more about it. The principles of food combining (sometimes called natural hygiene) are well established. Harvey Diamond in his book " Fit For Life " and later " Fit For Living Health " writes extensively on the subject. (SP) Marsden also writes some very good books on the subject. She quotes the early research work by Dr Hay who pioneered modern food combining habits against disease. I suspect its been around for centuries however, our early anchestors knew far more about these things than we give them credit for. I would be careful about mixing carbs and proteins to lose weight, its not consistent with the way out body chemistry is designed to operate (according to the theory) slowing the digestion process must result in weight gain, that is the whole thrust behind food combining. I know from practical experience it works for me.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 My two cents on food combining... I'll worry about weight loss later. Right now, I am trying to calm my system down so my poor overworked intestines don't go after everything I eat with an automatic rifle. The woman who runs my local health food store is a holistic nutritionist. I went in today to get some Vitamin C (to help heal my insides) and she recommended Natrol liquid Ester-C because tablets are getting stuck in my chest. (I'm not going to worry about any avoids it may contain in miniscule amounts at the moment.) She said people with acidic stomachs should always take Ester-C, never ascorbic acid C. Anyway, we also talked about what's going on with me. She was so funny. She said, " The digestive tract is King. You piss off the King, and you're going to have a very bad day. " In about 1 minute, she gave me the basic food combining rules for intestinal health: Fruit all by itself, BEFORE meals, never after. Animal proteins by themselves, or with vegetables, never with grains. Vegetables with grains are fine because you're putting complex carbohydrates together. She further explained it all has to do with length of time it takes the body to digest these things. For instance, it takes several hours for the body to digest animal protein. Fruits are " pre-digested, " which is why you never want to eat them with or after a meal. And so on. I can't help but think that if your system is functioning well, you will lose excess fat. That only makes sense. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complex carbs are always bad food combining, with meats. I think you'll find this. If I can find good ways to eat so can you. It's definitely an individual thing.

Quite a few diets are based on this principle. A few days ago someone posted the perfect synopsis on food combining basic principles.

These cards are always sold with the Blood Type Cards (also credit card size) which are becoming available everywhere at HFS,which list Avoids for your blood type. I purchased a Type O Avoids Card (myself and two Daughters), a Type A Avoids card (DH and Son), and the Food Combining Card. The Avoids cards are wonderful when shopping. Cards are around $1.50 each I think. But you dont want to eat grains with meat or dairy. But with leafy veggies or low sugar fruit such as apple okay. Leave that wheat alone. Happy Eating!

Oh, HFS I learned is our abbreviation for Health Food Store. I just started using the abbreviation myself. Oh, I must have thought you were allowing some grain/grain products. But I couldn't think you were using wheat!! I'm sorry, for saying that and not noticing that from the UK, HFS might not be easy to understand. You know I don't even know if the UK actually has Health Food Stores, like in USA, or even what grocery markets are like there.!!!!!! I like learning to Eat Right 4 My Type. Nothing I should eat is really too out of the way for me to find. It makes so much sense. There so many who have been compliant for several years. I see immediate improvement in how I feel with compliance to the diet's simple suggestions. That's such encouragement to me.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2000 Report Share Posted July 17, 2000 Just remember if you have an intolerance to wheat see how you react to rye, barley and oats as they are of the wheat family. Oats sends me to sleep, barley makes me quite conjested and rye????????I am not game to see.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi Vicki, I'd 1st work on getting the LR book down. Then you can work other things into it. Food combining seems to help a lot of people also. Others it doesn't make a difference with. It is not a part of LR. It is simply a method of combining foods for what is thought to be an effective way to get the most out of what you eat. I'd just work on LR and absorb the food combining that is discussed. After you have the LR understood, then you can look for books on food combining, as well as other ways of eating that might combine well with LR. food combining > Hello everybody! > I am trying really hard to cut out wheat right now as a warm-up to > eating right.Its hard too!!!

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2001 Report Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hi Vicki, I found that cutting out the wheat made the biggest difference in how I felt. It is the hardest but maybe cutting out the hardest will make the rest easier. Now, if I eat a little potato or corn I do not feel any ill effects BUT if I eat even a little wheat - I get congested, feel sluggish, digestive issues, etc.... WHEAT is the enemy!

Judging from current populations, no. In Eastern European Jews it doesn't even get up to 20 percent of the population. Type B gets talked about a lot for this group because they have the highest percentage among European populations. I was talking about time well before the Hebrew people spread all over the world. The diet was established thousands of years ago. I'm sure that since that time many groups have intermarried and diluted the original blood types. Regardless, I was being careful to not include a particular religious group because people have been converted to Judaism from other groups whose origins are not Hebrew. Initially, most of Europe evolved into type A (farmers) from O and intermingled with type B (nomads) who had also evolved from O--or so the Dadamo theory goes.

Well . . . it gets up over 30 percent around Beijing. I'm not pointing this out to negate the connection between blood type and traditional food . . . perhaps this might account for some differences among groups of the same type (like where subtypes have developed, presumably in conjunction with different diets).
