About Food Combining
Could someone please explain to me why it makes sense to not combine foods?They say that carbs are absorbed in the small intestines in an alkaline substance (I'm not sure what), fats are dissolved in bile, and proteins are dissolved in the stomach in HCL, so we shouldn't combine carbs and proteins. And fruits should be eaten alone. This doesn't make sense because: Aren't nutrients absorbed in the small intestines anyway? If HCL doesn't destroy vitamins, amino acids, ect, in proteins then why does it matter if it everything is dissolved by the HCL? Also, isn't there always HCL in the stomach and more being processed as digestion requires? And since everything goes through the stomach anyway would the carbs be inevitably be dunked into HCL? If this was an issue couldn't the body dissolve them all separately anyway? At face value, food combining makes sense, but when I really think about it, it doesn't make sense. I fear that my science is off, but it's more plausible than many cases I've read about in favor of food combining.

What can you use in place of breadcrumbs to make meatballs?
I am presently on a food combining diet where you can't have starch and protein in the same meal. It works really well for digestion and I'm enjoying the healthy eating. I'm trying to avoid processed foods as well. I love meatballs but can't figure out what to use to bind them if I can't add breadcrumbs (starch) to the ground beef (protein) Does anyone have any ideas?

What do you think about the food combining regimen?
I've been trying to learn a little more about nutrition, I've encountered with the "food combining" method and the "traditional" balanced meal (pyramid). I'm a little confused about which regimen to follow because with the pyramid regimen you CAN mix carbohydrates and protein which you can't in the other regimen. What do you think about this regimen of having certain foods combined for maximum results?

Is it not good to eat fruit at the same time as other foods?
My natural doctor told me this and I read this article "Eating fruit before meals and other food combining rules Natural Hygienists have known for a long time that fruit doesn?t combine well with other foods. The reason is that fruit contains simple sugars that require no digestion. Thus, they will not stay for a long time in the stomach. Other foods, such as foods rich in fat, protein and starch, will stay in the stomach for a longer period of time because they require more digestion. So if you eat fruit after a meal, the fruit sugar will stay for too long in the stomach and ferment. This is why people experience digestive trouble when eating fruit that way. They then blame that particular fruit for their trouble and claim that they are ?allergic? to it. Natural Hygienists have been recommending for a long time that fruit be eaten alone with no other foods. They have also recommended eating melons alone and avoiding mixing acid fruits with sweet fruits such as bananas. These are great recommendations, but can be definitely be simplified. Many people have a difficult time eating a meal of fruit alone. They?ll eat a meal of melon and not so long after they?ll be hungry again, for the simple and obvious reason that melons are not calorie dense. Eating a small cantaloupe (200 calories) is not going to sustain you for very long. But because they have read somewhere that mixing melons with other fruits is not allowed, they?ll try to wait until the next meal to eat something else and then will often in the meantime overeat on dried fruits and nuts to compensate. The solution to this is very simple: since fruit digests so fast, it is possible to eat fruit before any other food. You can, when you are hungry, eat as much fruit as you care for. One type of fruit only would be ideal. Then wait a little bit, like 5-10 minutes, and have any other food you desire. This can be a salad, a little avocado with tomatoes, some nuts, or anything. It can be cooked food too. If you?ve been trying to follow food-combining rules without success, this new information could be very valuable to you. The same goes with mixing other fruits together. You can eat all the melon you want, and then, if you are still hungry, eat another type of fruit to satisfy your appetite. It is not necessary to eat melons alone if they are eaten before another foods. You can even have melon and then have an avocado after. The only thing that is important to remember is to have the fruit first - not after, and ideally only have one variety at a time." http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/fruit-article.html What do you think?
