Food Combining 101

Food Combining 101

So what is food combing all about really? Food combining is always buzzy and trending in the wellness world and it's something that I feel super passionate about. I use it as a TOOL when I am trying to take my health journey to the next level. I also use it when I'm getting ready for an event or a talk and I want to look and feel my best. 

The Western medicine world will tell you that there is no science to back up this concept, but it has been a game changer for me and hundreds of clients.

WHAT IS FOOD COMBINING:

Food combining rules can get complicated, but most simply it means the following:

1. Eat proteins and carbohydrates at separate times, not combining them into one meal.

2. Space meals out at least 3 hours apart.

3. Eat fruit alone + wait an hour after having fruit before you eat your next meal.

What are the benefits if you do properly combine:

  • Weight loss - no more food baby! (less acidity means less cravings + snacks)

  • Increased digestion - less gas! (no food to sit and ferment)

  • Increased energy (food digests fast + efficiently)

  • Deeper more productive sleep (body isn't working so hard to digest all that food)

Now- let's talk about what's REALISTIC. Most of us grew up eating spaghetti & meatballs, turkey sandwiches and who does't love a good spicy tuna roll? I am not saying to stay away from these delicious combos forever - I am saying use this TOOL when you want to take your health to the next level or when you feel you really need it. Maybe you find that this TOOL suits you and it becomes a new LIFESTYLE. Give it a try and see what works for YOU.
