--------------------

 

I've had some great learnings and changed behaviors lately, regarding

food combining. Once I've come to understand a little more about how

my body digests the three major groupings of carbohydrates, fats and

proteins, I've been paying a lot more attention to my food-combining,

and my body seems to really appreciate it..once I've gotten going,

it's really not that hard...

 

Remembering, my understanding is that optimum is " mono-meals " .

 

quickly, in summary Vegetables combine well with most foods.

Sweet fruits: best combined with celery & lettuce. (and each other.)

Sub-acid fruits: combined with either acid or sweet fruits, but

*not* both at the same time. Good with lettuce and celery.

Acid fruits: Best combined with sub-acid, but *not* with sweet

fruits. Good with lettuce and celery.

 

(and right here, when I first saw this was an early " EUREKA! "

or " AHA " for me: I *noticed* that all the fruits combined well with

lettuce and celery! (geesh...aren't I quick?? lol!) sooo...looking

for an easy way to add some greens to my diet, I now work to keep

some lettuce/fresh youngs greens, and celery on hand to add to *any*

(melons excluded!) smoothie. whew...)

 

Proteins: Best combined with salads. Do not use with sugar and

starches.

 

Starches: Best combined with green salads (no tomatoes). Do not use

with protein or fruit.

 

Melons: Best combined alone.

Does not combine well with other foods.

 

ok, depending upon what type of learner you are, one source is the

picture described next, which has really nice " pictures " of what

types of foods are in each category. that was a great start for me.

 

 

Inside one of my kitchen cabinets, I keep a really nice (really nice

because my daughter printed it our for me on photgraphic quality

paper) Food Combining for Health picture. Unfortunately, I no longer

know where I got this...I must've cut off the info..somebody,

somewhere has it posted, since I dont' have the capability to create

adobe files...

 

If you'd like a copy of this, I've just posted it on my website,

here: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/efarrel2/

 

and the file is called foodcombining.pdf.

 

a more detailed listing is from Dr. Theodore A. Baroody's work:

entitled, Acid-Alkaline Food Values, from his book " Alkalize or Die,

1991. " you have to watch some of the " breaks " between alkaling/acid.

I remember some discrepancies.

 

and I've just put this file, called Food Values - Acid-Alkaline.doc

on my website also.

 

I hope these provide some benefit to someone; and remeber, these are

just from my computer. I'd not originally necessarily planned

to " publish/share " these - so they may not be perfect...they've not

been edited, etc...etc....[<== Disclaimer....lol!]

 

Note that the first file is a pdf, where you can get the free Adobe

reader to open it if you need to, and the 2nd is a MS Word file, and

you'll something to open it with.

 

In Win XP, you just " rightclick " on the file name, and download it to

your computer...if anyone does this, please let me know if the files

are really accessible to anyone else. I can't test that; of course

they're available to me: it's my website..I no longer do a lot of

website stuff, used to years ago, in the beginning of HTML, etc..etc..

just haven't chosen to keep up with the technology, etc..etc..

 

I've also taken a stab and sent an email, last week?, to the group

moderator, asking about how to get files put up here in our group.

 

I guess I could always start another group just for file

storage..that seems silly, though.

 

If anyone knows the moderator, maybe put in a plug to allow us to

upload files here?

 

all the best,
