> The basics
The food combining diet is easy to follow because it simply involves not eating fat and sugar/carbs at the same time, and cutting out foods that contain both fat and sugar/carbs (cakes, pastries, chips, crisps and the like). Physiologically speaking, the reason for this is simple: if you don't get as much variety in a meal, you get full more quickly and your blood sugar doesn't peak as much. You naturally want to eat less at mealtimes, you're less tempted to snack and your body attacks your fat reserves. Magic!
