Food combining
[back]

[Food combining came from Natural Hygiene (Shelton), popularised by Dr Hay (Hay diet) and more recently by Harvey Diamond in his book Fit for Life.  Essentially, concentrated carbohydrates (bread, potatoes) don't combine with concentrated proteins (meat), and fruit doesn't combine with either, and should should be eaten first.]

Quotes
I have observed that people on vegan or fruitarian diets lack proteins. As this condition persists, the intestinal tract's ability to develop and produce enzymes diminishes. Over a period of years, especially after child-hood, fewer food combinations are tolerated because of the lack of certain enzymes. On a raw diet that is high in meat enzymes are easily produced and most any combination is digestible, except combining vegetation and meats, including vegetable juice, because they neutralize the acid fluid and bacteria that digest meat.
