Food Combing Might be the answer to Weight Loss

Overview: How It Works
So you want to lose weight.  Do you think you have tried everything?  Well I’m sorry you wasted your time on all those diets…because diets don’t work.
This is a plan, a lifestyle change, and it is based totally on Science, and how our bodies digest our food intake.  It is fairly simple once you get a little background into the foods we eat and how our bodies process them during digestion.

 

This is not about giving up the foods you love!  On this plan you get to eat the foods you want, but in a manner that allows them to pass through your body quickly, without retaining extra calories.  It teaches you the foods you can eat to help removed fat from your body, and cleanse your digestive track of putrefied waste that collects in your intestines, causing you to feel bloated, nauseous, gassy, & sluggish.

Thanksgiving Dinner No No

Would you believe that eating certain foods together cause our bodies to become toxic?  It’s true.  Many foods we eat together during a normal dinner, start shutting down digestion as soon as they are put in our mouth.  This is why after a meal you can feel bloated, tired, and sick to your stomach.
As a whole, Americans have been raised on a “Meat & Potatoes”, “Burgers & Fries” or an “Eggs & Toast” menu, plus, heap on the side dishes and dessert!  While technically you can still eat these foods, you need to learn when to eat them and what foods combine well together so that your meals do not stick around in your body longer than necessary, causing weight gain and illness.

The Science Behind The Theory:

The technical name of this scientific theory of food combining is Trophology, and there are 5 Major food groups on the Trophology Chart:

• Proteins (Meat, Dairy, Eggs, Beans & Nuts)
• Carbohydrates (Starches, Fruits & Sugars)
• Fruits (Acid Fruits & Sweet Fruits)
• Fats (Animal & Vegetable)
• Vegetables (Non-Starchy & Mildly Starchy)

The philosophy behind this eating plan is simple biology, here is a quick explanation of the  food groups, which will map out the basics to learning what foods mix well with others, and which foods should never be eaten together.
Proteins
Proteins are made up of Meats, Dairy, Eggs, Beans & Nuts.  They require Pepsin & Hydrochloric acid to digest effectively, and this atmosphere must be maintained for several hours.  Proteins are a very complex food group, and for the most part only mix well with vegetables.  However, not all proteins are the same, so we have broken this group into smaller sub-groups. Learn more about Proteins.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates on the other hand desire an Alkali or Base atmosphere to be digested effectively, so our bodies secrete ptyalin into our saliva to break them down.   Carbohydrates require the completely opposite chemicals from Proteins to be digested. Learn more about Carbohydrates & Starches.
Fruits 
Fruits are essentially Carbohydrates, however some fruits are acidic and some are sweet.  None of the fruit types mix well with any other food.  Don’t take this the wrong way, fruits are very healthy for you but their chemical make-up does not interact well with any of the other food groups, so they should be eaten alone as a snack, dessert or meal. Learn more about Fruit.
Vegetables
Vegetables are made up of 2 types: Non-Starchy and Mildly Starchy.  Both types mix well with the Proteins and Carbohydrates, although this plan will detail the best veggies for you to eat to boost your metabolism and flush your system as quickly as possible.  Even if you do not like vegetables,  you will barely notice them in recipes that are used on this site, so be sure to try them out!

Fats
There are two kinds of fats: Animal & Vegetable.  Fats are fine to ingest in moderation, and you must include some fats in your daily  food consumption to lose weight.  The healthiest type of fats to eat are the vegetable fats, but you can get by with either if used sparingly and by combining them with the correct foods.

The Rules To Live By:

There are a few main rules to follow when adapting to this way of eating.  The First and Most Important rule would be:

Avoid combining Proteins and Carbohydrates!  If an acid and a base are combined together in the stomach, digestion screeches to a halt, foods & chemicals combine and become sludge in your system where now they can sit and ferment for days just like adding sugar to a gas tank.

Acid and Base

Now, this Rule becomes the most important rule to follow! DO NOT mix Proteins & Starches in a single meal.  However, this rule needs to be broken down further, because not all proteins have the same digestive requirements.
