Thanks for your help.
Many people swear by it, and others find it frustrating and ineffective.
There is no proof that food is digested better when carbohydrate and protein are presented separately. Sometimes, not drinking water during meals is recommended in the food combining diet. Physiologically it is fine to drink beverages at meals, in fact the body naturally secretes water into the digestive tract after food is consumed to help break down both carbohydrate and protein. This is often not because of the effect of eating protein and carbohydrate separately, but because their food choices improve when they begin the diet. If someone changes from eating a diet of highly refined food that is high in fat to eating the variety of whole, minimally processed, basic foods that are recommended in a food combining diet, they may feel better and lose weight by virtue of the change in the quality of food.
