Food Combining

soFeminine Newsletter



   
  This family of diets, is based on the idea that you can eat as much as you like of any one food without putting on weight, as long as you don't eat anything else at the same time.

Over a week:
Every day is dedicated to a different kind of food, such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy, vegetables or fruit. If you chose fish for Monday, for example you must eat it for every meal and nothing else.

Over the course of a day:
You eat one kind of food at each meal, so if you eat fruit for breakfast, you must eat eggs at lunchtime, then fish in the evening.

It sounds like a crazy way of eating, but you will feel fuller more quickly if you limit yourself to one food group per meal. While your appetite will gradually diminish for one particular food, it will increase for the others, so you eat less and lose weight without getting bored with your meals. Obviously, this is not one to follow for more than a few days at the most, as it is not the most healthy way of losing weight.

Menu:
Monday: eat only meat
Tuesday: eat only vegetables
Wednesday: eat only dairy products
Thursday: eat only fruit
Friday: eat only fish
Saturday: eat only cheese
Sunday: eat only eggs
 
 
 
  Real weight loss. A lack of variety means your body will become less and less hungry, causing you to eat less.  
 
 
  It is far better to follow the diet on a day-to-day basis, as it is a healthier way to lose weight. The large amounts of fruit and vegetables involved lowers the risk of developing vitamin deficiencies, but whilst it looks like a balanced diet, it can lead to malnutrition and ill-health if followed for too long.
