RE: Food combining and 80/10/10 [s]

[Guest guest]

okay, I'll pick up all these points when I respond. But at this point, it

makes more sense for me to write a comprehensive piece on the topic, that

can be resent in the future, rather than to continue answering in snippets.

The snippets simply don't convey the entire picture, and people naturally

keep raising additional questions. it will take a bit of time, however, to

prepare such a comprehensive response.

 

Best, and thanks so much for your input and your patience,

Elchanan

[Raw Food] Food combining and 80/10/10

 

 

 

 

OK - I read the replies to my 80/10/10 questions. And my head is

spinning.

 

What started me on this whole road of raw foodism is reading about

food combining. That took me to Fit For Life which took me into raw

foods which has now taken me to 80/10/10. All within about 1 - 2

months.

 

Food combining still confuses me because of different view points

that I have gotten. Fit for life was don't combine fruits with

vegetables, starches or proteins. Don't combine starch and proteins

but vegetables can be eaten with either starch or protein. The

further I looked into this, there was don't combine sweet fruit with

sub-sweet fruit. Now in the responses to my 80/10/10 questions, it

was suggested to make a smoothie with bananas, dates and/or celery

(which, may I say, sounds yummy!) - but this goes against some food

combinine " rules " - i.e. the celery and bananas. (This reminds me of

another question - you don't need more liquid with the bananas to

make the smoothie? I've had smoothies with bananas and fresh apple

juice, I thought I needed the liquid from the apple juice).

 

Thanks

 

Brenda
