Combine the right foods to aid weight loss
Dr. William Howard Hay introduced food combining in 1911. The diet is based on not mixing proteins with carbohydrates which, in turn, aids digestion and facilitates weight-loss and keeps the digestive system healthy.
Hay rules
- Starches and sugars should not be eaten with proteins and acid fruits at the same meal.
- Vegetables, salads and fruits (whether acid or sweet) if correctly combined should form the major part of the diet.
- Proteins, starches and fats should be eaten in small quantities.
- Only whole grains and unprocessed starches should be used and all refined and processed foods should be eliminated from the diet.
- Not less than four hours between starch and protein meals.
- Milk does not combine well with food and should be kept to a minimum.
Don't mix foods that fight, so in the below lists don't mix anything from list 1 with list 3.
1. Proteins: All meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, cheese, eggs, fish, soya beans yoghurt,
