Dummies for food combining
Heard about food combining? find it abit troublesome to be followed? I was too... but not so much now that I heard the surface of the food combining principles. To me, it sounds very logical and easy to follow.

Food combining is a diet or style of eating that is done according to the natural system of your own digesting system. It believes to help the body to work better and thus, produce better, and shape better. Here is what I've heard.

In the morning, the body is still wanting to flush out the toxic and left-overs from the disgesting process that is done the night before. Therefore, DO NOT eat the hard-to-digest food... the easy food for the morning are simply FRUITS and VEGETABLES. And, you can add some boiled egg, or scrambled egg, or stuff like that. Red rice are allowed to be mix with eggs, and not any other things. A glass of fruit juice is recommended here.

In the noon, eating lunch is easy. you can choose for animals proteins and mix with nice fresh vegetables, or vegetables soup. fishes, beef, pork, chickens, are all allowed here. Just remember, NOT to mix carbohidrate and proteins. This is because they require different enzimes to digest. The body will automatically choose the easier-to-process food which is carbohidrate, and left the protein behind. However, when the body finished with the carbohidrate, the protein had stayed too long, and started to build fat already. and foremost, the digesting organs are too tired to digest the protein anymore... the animal proteins are allowed in the noon, because it takes longer time to digest, and afternoon is the longest time, whereby we still have our activities going on.

At night, you can opt for rice and vegetables. you can even eat potatoes and stuff. Carbohidrate for exact. carbohidrate will take shorter time to digest, therefore, its easier for the body to start the absorbing system at 8 o'clock at night. This is also the reason why we cannot eat anything after 8.

in food combining, it is recommended that you only eat 1 type of fruits at a time. however, you can mix as many types of vegetables at a time. This is because fruits have higher sugar level, which means if you mix around, and if it combines to a too-high sugar level, it may cause the body to get lazy to do its job to digest the food we eat later. fruits and vegetables are also recommended as snacks throughout the day.

sounds easy isn't it? I'm going to start doing this next week, once I have the time to go and buy fruits for the morning breakfast:)
