Food combining is a concept based on the idea that certain foods pair well, while others do not.
Generally, food-combining diets assign foods to different groups.
These are usually broken down into carbs and starches, fruits (including sweet fruits, acidic fruits, and melons), vegetables, proteins and fats.
Alternatively, some plans classify foods as acidic, alkaline, or neutral.
Food-Combining diets specify how you should combine these groups in a meal.
The laws of food combining can vary somewhat depending on the source, but the most common rules are:
•Eat fruit only on an empty stomach, especially melons.
• Avoid combining starches and proteins.
• Avoid combining starches with acidic foods.
• Avoid combining different types of protein.
• Consume dairy products only on an empty stomach, especially milk.
