1. Eat fruit first thing in the morning 2. Dont eat fruit after a meal 3. Starches: pasta rice quinoa bread and potatoes squash should be eaten during lunch 4. Dont combine starch and protein 5. After lunch you can have protein eg for dinner: beans lentils 6. Vegetables combine with everything 7. Fats combine very well with starches eg avocado on toast .. and ok with protein 8. Protein for dinner

Suzanne Somers promoted food combining years ago, she called it Somersizing. You can still find her old books used online. She had great recipes and info in them. Also Suzanne based this on the Montignac diet, which was from France.

[@anye76]

Yes! May she rest in peace. Suzanne was a true health warrior. Although she did succumb to cancer, I think the way she ate and cared for herself helped her live longer than she might have otherwise💕🕊

[@queenkouturak9232]

i have sinus congestion but i eat a whole foods, plant based diet. i started proper food combinations a few weeks ago, i now experience zero bloating and i am feeling overall great. This is complete truth, if you don't believe it, you must not have done it right. very great video, you are absolutely stunning my goodness. my only confusion are nuts proteins or fat category, regardless i used to make almond cheese and mix it with starches, and i removed that combo and no longer experience bloating, therefore i believe it falls more on the protein side of things. I thought chia was a protein, but i guess its more of a fat, good to know, i notice it was mixed with almonds in the picture, but ill try it plain. thanks mona

Food combinations work, I've never felt better

[@ikonora]

I hear that carbs + fats is definitely what you should NOT mix together. Ugh so much information that it makes me want to cry.

[@user-pn4gq7sw1n]

You're right Renata! We should never mix carbs and fats! Contrary to what Dr. Mona suggests, these two combined create a vicious cycle of addictions and cause weight gain due to a surge of insulin and dopamine. Insulin is released when carbs are consumed, but insulin also promotes the storage of fats in a process called de novo lipogenesis. So essentially, some of those carbs will get used for energy while all the fats get stored. You did just provide the body with two rich energy sources after all! As for dopamine, that is released to encourage a 'rewarding' behaviour - this is why we feel so good binge eating on sugary creamy treats! Carbs and fats create addictions which inevitably cause weight gain and this cycle is so hard to break, so definitely avoid those lethal combos!

[@khaiahmann9192]

You and me both.

[@oliverxhmll]

carbs are best eaten on their own. For example sugary fruit or sweet potatoes. If u add fat to that your blood sugar will spike more than it should. I feel like some rules are for better digestion and some for stable blood sugar

[@enaeva_]

Where did you hear her suggesting to eat SUGARY or/and CREAMY foods?

[@mikeirl661]

Well remember not all fats are created equal. Like she says olives are fats, and a working example of a starch + fat meal as toast and avocado I'm sure toast + coconut oil as a meal would act differently - also there HAS to be personal preferences/issues, there is not a one size fits all format to health ( we are not machines ). Avocado toast will give 2 people different gi, insulin, and digestion responses. But yes so much info it's rather overwhelming.

Thanks so much! I think I want to challenge myself to eat as your recommending for a month and see how much healthier I feel. I already have transitioned to plant-based and gluten-free eating but struggle with gi stuff so maybe... I am always looking for natural ways to be healthy.

[@jennasosa7740]

Technically speaking... squash, cucumber, tomatoes, green beans are just a few FRUITS that people think of as vegetables. So, that being the case, how does that impact food combining? I have not found any Registered Dietitians that say food will rot in your stomach. That is simply not true and not supported by research. Combining diet has shown to help individuals with weight loss...simply because they are being more mindful of their eating, which is key for any diet to be successful. Combing complex carbs with fats, proteins and fibrous vegetables can actually help those who have diabetes. Ultimately, before people jump on a fad diet bandwagon, they need to consult their doctor or see a legit registered dietician that knows their health history.

[@sholonator92]

not sure but I belive combining fats with carbs actually spikes your insulin so much making it imposible to lose weight

[@oloriarewa8013]

@madeline I'm researching good combinations and came across your comment... I'm getting confused about avocado... I was making breakfast smoothies with oats... but as you're not supposed to mix starches with fruits... I'm at a loss... I was thinking to use lentils but that's also a no go for optimal digestion... is avocado ok... and what fruits are best with it? Or is it a protein?

[@gscwb95]

I was thinking about having fruits or a smoothie for breakfast, depending on the day and then 30-40 minutes after having nuts and seeds to finish out my breakfast. I eat twice a day, so in the evening i'd either have a starch-based meal with veggies or a protien based meal with veggies.

[@siennav6428]

agreeing but also very greatly disagreeing with your theories here. It's all about portioning ! Don't be afraid to have a little starch with your protein at dinner. Can't believe your advising other wise because lets be honest, it's not realistic for most. I would agree in the sense to maybe have your larger serving of starch earlier in the day (like at lunch) but otherwise I am a firm believer in balancing foods throughout the day. *Although I did not move on to become a RD, I do have a degree in nutrition and dietetics.* For a healthy individual, limiting certain food groups to certain times of the day is unnecessary, although like I previously stated, if eating in bulkier portions (which is never recommended), then I would agree with you. I feel like this video should be more targeted toward those without a healthy gut.

[@Simonthecat88]

I think she delivered a very "short" version of food combining and dissociated diet. You can add the rule that you can have protein dominant meal (75% protein + 25% starch) and starch dominant meal (75% starch + 25% protein), and in that case it's quite realistic to do and can have some benefits healthwise. Anyway I recently got interested in that subject and nobody seems to perfectly agree on what to do precisely... In my case eating the dairy and fruits outside of the meals helped my gut a lot.

[@r.p.8906]

disagree. Some have slow metabolism and need that break of proteins/ starch. I like the idea of alternating these foods or at least giving ourselves a break from proteins 1 to 2 days a week. It all depends on what type of metabolism one has.

[@13elementbey]

I'm not sure if you mentioned or were trying to mention what I think is an important point: Sticking to one rich protein source in a meal and not mixing it with other ones! Eg. mixing up different types of fish or meat in one meal, or mixing different types of legumes in one meal. Even though I have done more bad food combining than good LOL, I find that it's better to keep things more simple or less organisms for the body to deal with from my experience. Maybe even what folks might forget to recognize is that legumes are a combination of starch and protein. Most of them seem to have more starch than protein according to the information out here today and myself just by looking at legumes and eating them, I definitely can say it has starch. And also according to info out here and just my thought on common sense: that in reality, every fruit and vegetable has some amount of protein, even just ever so slightly. So everything has protein because that's the synthesis for life aka DNA. Some fruit and veggies just tend to be water rich, that's why something that's not water rich might be considered to have more protein.
