Ok!  So what should we be eating?

Is Food Cmbining Important?

YES!
Eat Meats with vegetables
Eat Starches with vegetables (not with meat)
Eat fruit alone and preferable on an empty stomach
Fruits and vegetables can be combined in smoothies without interupting digestion.

What about Fats?

Avoid hydrogenated oils (these are low fat products and trans-fatty acids which cause your cholesterol to go up.  Hydrogenated oil have been heated to extremely high temperatures that changes the oils so the body cannot break them down.  Hydrogenated oils are found in most packaged  & processed foods.

Fats that are good to eat!

Fats that are found naturally in whole vegetables such as avocados, nuts and seeds is also good!
