"The premise of this book involves eating a variety of foods, but paying particular attention to combining. What NOT to combine and what TO combine. She stresses the importance of combining because the wrong mixtures are what leaves us feeling bloated, gaseous and tired. Also, the wrong combos can disrupt the digestion process resulting in foods lingering in our tummys too long.
She recommends avoiding "funky foods" (sugars--including carrots!, white rice, white bread and other refined or processed foods). This type forces our bodies to use our stored sugars (fats) in lieu of using what we put into our bodies.
She says that fruit should never (NEVER!) be eaten with a meal. It upsets the digestive process. Her method focuses on combining foods that work together in the body in a harmonious way; thereby, increasing our metabolism.
I liked what she had to say, but believe the book needs to be updated because she recommends using NutriSweet/Sweet-N-Low, no tofu or soy milk (there is an exception if you are a strict vegetarian), eliminating carrots, bananas, yams, winter squashes (she says they are too high in starches which turn into sugar, then fat).
She does indicate other foods that offer similar vitamins in their place, but some of those eliminated were my favorites. If a person eats pasta, their meal should be combined with veggies NOT a meat. If you eat meat, have it with veggies, no bread. And there are time restrictions as to when to eat fruit. It depends on if you are eating meat (protein) or not. Makes sense to me.
For me, I'm not as concerned with loosing weight as with eating more healthy foods and practically eliminating meat (zero hormone injected meat) and no hormone injected dairy products. I will now be more aware of the food combos I prepare and order thanks to this book. There are some neat recipes that I intend to try, too."
"I never got into the food combining/diet portion of SS diet/cookbooks (this book is one of several), but I have bought most of her diet/cookbook just for the yummy, healthy recipes."
