On a food combining diet, you never eat protein and carbohydrates together. Followers of the food combining diet believe that when you eat the wrong foods together, digestion is impaired. As a result, undigested food is left in your stomach and it rots or ferments.
This condition, they believe, can lead to illness and/or weight gain.Combining carbs, protein, and healthy fats prevents your blood sugar from spiking and crashing (aka a food coma), keeps you fuller longer, and helps you stay energized.Food combining is an eating method that involves consuming certain macronutrients and foods together, and avoiding other mixtures. The goal is to allegedly reduce the work that your.
The food combining diet isn’t about what to eat or how much to eat. But rather, it emphasizes HOW you eatparticularly how you eat foods together (or apart). The food combining diet has its root in Ayurvedic practice, and features an extensive list of rules on which foods should be eaten together or on their own.
The Food Combining dieting is a well-kept secret that helps to enhance your digestion so that you gain maximum energy and nutrition from your food, helping you to feel healthier and more energized, and to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.The answer is Food Combining. Food-Combining-Diet.com presents an overview over all important aspects of food combining. You will find a review of the principles of food combining, plus many delicious and tried-out recipes with meat, poultry, fish, pasta, fresh vegetables, and much more.”The food combining theory refers to eating or not eating certain foods together in the same sitting in order to achieve optimal digestion,” accredited practising dietitian Jemma O’Hanlon added.
The basic food combining principles are to avoid combining starches and protein in the same meal, and to always eat fruit before a meal, not after.Beans and legumes are a trickier food to categorize under food combining rules because they contain both protein and starch, which in itself is an improper food combination. But since they’re primarily considered a starch, it’s suggested beans and legumes digest best with vegetables and other starches, such as brown rice.Food Combining Food combining is an approach to eating that works on the premise that our bodies can only digest one concentrated food at a time.
Concentrated foods are defined as starches and proteins. So, to simplify it, anything foods other than fruits and vegetables.Food combining is a nutritional strategy that advocates eating specific foods at the same time and avoiding the intake of other specific food combinations. The argument for food combining is based on the idea that different kinds of foods require different digestive processes. Thus, eating certain.
Generally, food-combining diets assign foods to different groups. These are usually broken down into carbs and starches, fruits (including sweet fruits, acidic fruits and melons), vegetable.Food combining is a diet that essentially claims that the macronutrients we consume—fat, protein, and carbohydrate—should be eaten separately to maximize digestion.
It’s hard to pin down one source that lays out the official food combining rules, but you can find plenty of food combining charts and blog posts online if you search for them.A properly-combined STARCH meal might look something like this: A sandwich on whole-grain bread, filled with avocado, mustard, lettuce, tomato and sprouts. Served with a leafy side salad and a baked sweet potato topped with butter.
You could follow this meal with some dark chocolate for dessert!In FC, foods are broken down into five (ish) groups: Greens, fats, carbs/starches, proteins, and fruit. If you’re following the food combining guidelines, green means go. Non-starchy veggies can be eaten with everything.The Basics.
The ‘food combining diet’ or ‘Hay Diet’, as popularized by a physician William Howard Hay — is a diet of food separation.There are two approaches to this, and I.

I’m confused…are lentil & edamame& mung bean pastas considered protein or starch?
Thanks for making this video! I’m for sure going to try this. Just finished my Body reset diet (smoothie diet) for 15 days.( i lost 7 lbs!!!) Looking to lose another 10 lbs! lets get it!
How do you suggest we eat an avocado?! It’s a fruit, but has a lot of fat, along with a lot of fiber, carbs and protein.
I’m suspecting you need to retake some of your college courses
Edit: wait, no fruit after eating? My goooosh, millions of Italians on the Mediterranean diet are 100% wrong for thousands of years. I bet they are heartbroken to hear this ��
Hi Mona! You talked about Chia seeds between meals. Are all nuts and seeds good to eat in that time frame? Do they combine well with anything else?
Mona Vand seems lovely, and I’m sure she’s a wonderful pharmacist. That being said, please take any nutritional advice from her with a grain of salt and seek evidence-based advice from a Registered Dietitian. Skepticism on YouTube is key.
As a “medical professional”, I find it extremely irresponsible of you to be giving nutrition advice without giving a disclaimer that you are not a nutritionist. You cannot even substantiate this advice with any legitimate research
am i the only one here that thinks the Doctor is beautiful?
Except bread bread takes 4 hrs to digest that’s why you feel bloated and tired for hours and hours
This sounds so much more healthy that either kero or plant based. Here you are getting ALL of the healthy foods. Thanks.
Before you try this “Dr. Mona method”, watch the criticism using real science (one is from a registered dietician).
https://youtu.be/wzDGxuW5JHE
https://youtu.be/u1vmDRnkaoc
This is not sustainable “advice”. I won’t eat just fruit at 6 am before work, I would collapse before even entering the subway. And avocado on toast is not a balanced meal, sorry. People, do what works for you. Eat a variety of different foods and don’t stress about the order in which you eat them.
This was just an 8 min recording.. couldnt you have re-recorded to correct the grains/starch mistakes? Its confusing
I love when Abbey gets angry and done with the world reviewing bad diets, it’s like watching TwoSetViolin but in the world of food
I hope those that come to this video glance at the comments, which majority are of a concerning nature. Research is vital before jumping into anything.
If a starch with a protein is all so bad, then according to your logic you wouldn’t recommend eating any beans, right? Even though beans are super healthy, with their antioxidants and fiber? Furthermore, if you are going say that the information you are giving is backed up by science, then show it. Put some citations for your claims in the description, please.
She is basically talking about following
Ayurveda, an ancient holistic science of healing, which hasn’t been supported by other scientific evidence but I tell u it’s much lighter on ur digestive system if u suffer from indigestion or have a slower metabolism. It works for me ����
Hi Doc! what do you think about lemon water plus apple cider vinegar? Lemon correct me if i’m wrong is alkaline, and apple cider vinegar is acidic. its + and so based on combination its bad… but some says its good for the digestion 1st thing in the morning. what do you think? Hope you can enlighten me. Thank you! keep up the good work.
Her car/street analogy and ur reaction at 2:49 has me DEAD you really went ��
Hello!!
Thank you for all these informations.
I just have few questions:
is it ok to mix different protein together (exemple lentils and tofu or beans and tofu)?
what about mut milk? It s going with which type of food?
I really enjoyed this video Mona! You helped really clear a few questions that I’ve had, and helped me understand that I’ve been doing a pretty good job based on my on theories, haha! It’s still kind of hard to maintain, especially when I’m super hungry and haven’t prepped accordingly or for special occasions, but my skin is SO much happier! ����
Thank you for your precious advices it ‘s worked really well for me so far… good luck
After many videos finally i found you. Your knowledge is very correct real n scientific. As even i read about it recently. Keep providing such awsm true real knowledge. Keepitup
Thank you, youtube is flooded with plant based gurus on this topic, and its hard to find info about combining meat, i was curious specifically about combining beans and meat, since rice and beans makes me feel terrible, but beans on its own feels awesome
Stop promoting false information. For those that think she’s right (for some reason) watch this video by unnnatual vegan. Your stomach isn’t alkaline. She provides ALOT of wrong information that will mess your stomach up…. when she says look up the information. Do it. She’s wrong. Here’s a link to unnnatual vegan response. It’s scary how anyone can promote wrong nutritional information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzDGxuW5JHE
wait what about fruit smoothies in the morning but when i mix protein powder with it
One question Dr Vand. Do you use food combining and do you find it beneficial, have you tonnes of energy and are you healthy
?
So many places I heard beans and legumes are starches…….
I thought you cant combine fruit with anything? banana with toast?
Βlair Cooley the food combining does really works. Is this your secret being so beautiful???
Please do a video with Puerto Rican veggies and fruits! appreciated. I’ll appreciate a guide for vegan “no soy” please. TY
Hmm where is the disclaimer “I’m a pharmacist, NOT a dietician” and the links to the studies backing up the claims that you make?�� What a total nonsense..
The amount of non sustainable packaging in one meal is Disgusting to say the least aren’t they supposed to be banning one time use plastics, I mean when are these ignorant simple minded sheeple gonna realize if we continue do pollute all of our food sources and the air and water they ingest we wont have any fucking food to eat WAKE THE FUCK UP! our plastic epidemic is a joke cant even eat a fish caught in the ocean without ingesting plastic all in the pursuit of pieces of paper we call economy boosters … if we don’t rethink the way we operate as a species pretty soon we are going to condemn our children’s children they are the ones who have to clean up the mess! we think we are so advanced as a species we cant even communicate with each other or work with our environments to be a sustainable species Is there any hope?
Do people not know that even some veggies have protein and some starches have it.
Do anyone know about Custokebon Secrets? Does it work? I hear many people lost their fat with this popular fat burn method.
I make a protein smoothie every morning with almond milk, banana, protein, collagen and blueberries. So can I not combine protein powder w fruit?
Wow!!!! I read fit for life by Harvey diamond last weekend and I was left with soooo many questions!!!!!! Your video answered all of them!!!! Thank you for breaking it down in such a simple way to understand!!!! Subscribing!!!
Looks like admission standards for pharmacy schools have really been slipping…
We indonesian usually eat fruit after heavy meals for desert.shame on us
No protein and starch? I find that hard to believe, I’ve rarely eaten them separately
This is bogus science. There’s no evidence whatsoever to support this. Please anyone who watches this video, I advise you to only trust peer reviewed scientific research!
A doctor told me there is no truth to food combining and that your stomach acid kills the bacteria of any foods that would ferment and that if something ferments it is because you have low stomach acid not because of food combining. It’s so confusing that everyone has Different opinions on this
Lady you have to check this out
https://womanuniverse.net/13-food-combinations-that-can-speed-up-your-weight-loss/
So chicken + rice is a no no?
If i want to eat both then how? How many times between meals if contains this or that?
exhaustion, anger, and a little bit of hunger�� just described…. me!��❤️
The more I watch these videos, the more I’m CERTAIN our education system has failed.
Woman, you are not a Doctor and you have literally no evidence to back up your claims.
Just to double check; what if I do whole wheat pasta, a veggie burger, and carrots; Is that ok? The carrots are raw baby carrots (5 of them)
This woman has no clue what she is talking about and clearly does not know how digestion works. Every single claim that she has made in this video is scientifically false. Don’t fall for the bs. May I remind everyone that she is a pharmacist who has absolutely no education or training when it comes to nutrition. It shows. Don’t listen to her, do your own research and you’ll see how ridiculous her claims are.
What a bunch of drivel. Total lack of understanding of the subjects in question.
Hi Joanna, understand now that we should avoid pairing starch with protein. How about pairing protein such as eggs, with starch such as wholemeal bread e.g. during breakfast? As breakfast usually is good to have some carbs and protein as it is the first meal of the day.
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
I’m sorry but this is utter bullshit. Everyone who has at least a little Information About biology knows this. No, Food does not rot in your stomach. There is NO scientific proof for any of this stuff! You can eat fruit whenever you want (It is healthy!). You should NOT promote this stuff. It is dangerous.
Can you please link the research article that you got your information from?
I thought you were supposed to eat fruit alone? But you put it on the bread…I’m confused now.
Hi! Would you have any papers or books on food combining to recommend?
And if I have IO I ve heard that I suppose to eat proteins and fats in every meal to lower glicemic index. How to combain it all?;D
most vg’s are just as slow digestable as most frutis are. one can and the other can’t be mixed with ”other foods” (like rice). lol
Thank you so much for this video! Your videos are very informative and helpful and have made me think about what I am putting in my body.
the pH of the stomach acid is never alkaline. that’s why it’s called stomach ACID and not stomach fluid.
hooldddd up i am so confused!!! i just watched a video saying dont combine fats and Carbs for fat lose!!!! I need help nowwww
I read many people keep on talking about Custokebon Secrets. But I’m not sure if it’s good. Have you ever try this popular fat burn diet plan?
Did you post a link like you said, about the food categories?
Sorry but there are so many videos on YouTube by other doctors who say eating carbs and fats cause the most amount of insulin spike. But you say in your video there is a lot of research behind eating carbs with fats. Do you have any references I can read? This is all so confusing now. Thank you
me watching this while eating eggs with bell peppers, avocados, and turkey sausage �������� never heard of this eating habit lol
Hi Abbey, this really sounds like she is following Kimberly Snyder’s food combination philosophy. Have you had a chance to research her.?
Why are people so hateful and nasty when they leave comments?? Have some dignity and class!
No to food combining, here’s why: science!
Also, the brain uses twice as much energy, about 20% of total expenditure.
I always eat a strach with a protein! Smh brown rice with some short of protein….fish, chicken ect. What should i eat with my protein? Just a veggie?!
Holy shit this is toxic.
You’re not even a real pharmacist are you? Plus if you had any idea about the human body an how it works youd know that you’re wrong? Right.
The level of misinformation that this video contains is making me sick. Please read a biochem and a physiology book.
The first time in mi life I hear that the stomach can be alkaline omg this is bullshit
Do you have any good book recommendations on the subject of food combining?
Please don’t believe the pseudo science this channel is promoting. Food combining is not a thing. The “facts“ in these videos are made up. What she is telling you here and promoting is unnecessary and possibly dangerous advice
https://youtu.be/wzDGxuW5JHE
For real facts and science please check out this video by unnatural vegan.
Hi dr. I’m thinking to this programme but I’m taught that fruit gives the body sugar…this may cause a problem…so I’m afraid..what do you suggest dr.
Food takes minimum 16 hrs to pass from our mouths to the end of the large intestine. When you say it takes 2 hrs to ‘digest’ certain foods, it’s misleading. Unless a person is having diarrhea, any food will take min. 16 hrs. to pass out of the system.
Mona I love love your videos they are so easy to fallow and really break food knowledge down:) would you be able to address foods or a way of eating/diet that would cater to hormone balancing?
Hi Dr. Mona I absolutely <3 you but I’m confused. In this video you consider beans & lentils proteins, but on your cheat sheet they are considered starches. Could we please get some clarification? I love your content so much & I just want to make sure I am doing this the right way if I’m being so intentional about everything. Thank you:)
An easy way to do this is add veggies to your pasta or rice. ��
Well this just sounds like an elaborate trick to get me to eat more vegetables.
also, protein and fat is fine according to food combining…
yay, excited to hear about this topic. i really want to try food combining.
Trying this i suffer from SIBO so any bloating help needed is good! Been 1 day and i feel a huge difference!! And yes im eating alot of carbs too!!!
kenzie burke is an ANGEL, i’m loving kenzie & maggie’s content lately
Wow yeahhh I definitely need to try this. I also find that alcohol makes me bloated a lot too. Do you have any suggestions or your go to alc options?
I remember after finding out about the health benefits of tumeric I all of the sudden put it on and in everything for a while until someone told me I need black pepper to activate it so now I try to not burn my throat eating black pepper.
i just heard of this whole food combining thing and i’m gonna try it out! this video helped a lot for planning meals!
I can attest that the “magic” of breaking my meals throughout the day has done everything she said it did for her for me. I felt lighter, less bloated & even felt less stomach pain. No food combining needed.
I have heard about how black pepper enhances the effects of turmeric… is this considered another example of food combining that actually works? I also just wanted to say that I recently found your channel; especially as an aspiring pre-med student, I enjoy watching your videos because they’re super entertaining and educational (which, as you always say, are their purposes ��), so thank you for taking the time to make them!
After I had uncovered this fat loss program “Yamzoko Weebly” making use of Google, I felt thrilled to check it out instantaneously. I was truly enthusiastic. I propose you to Google this strategy as well. My pal has lost 10 pounds by now because of this weight loss program..
Thank you for making clear all this food combining thing. I was so stupid to try it in the past, didn’t see any benefit, I was feeling really limited so I was like “I think this is bullshit”. And I started combining everything again. ��
this comment section has me rolling. Y’all are savage. Im laughing so hard I’ll go to bed with a flat stomach with no bloating.
(sidebar: the only info i want from this girl is how her skin looks like that-like she just rolled in baby oil)
what about if you follow omad and you eat your meal i on go. for example can i have protein and veg then if i want desert eat oatmeal cookies
do you like diarrhea?
I DON’T LIKE DIARRHEA
I love you abbey����
Just found your channel! I’m loving it!! �� Such an informative video! This makes me really want to try this on my channel!��
Okay, Abbey, break it down for us, just be sure your explanation isn’t traveling on a one-way lane of the internet stuck behind some chicken.
Nothing screams delicious like a little Parking Lot Papaya. Ha ha. Too funny.��
I find it so funny how just because a person is a licensed dietitian, they think they are entitled and know it all. A person such as a YouTuber for example does not have to be licensed in nutrition in order to share tips on what works for them. Practice what you preach, which is to always listen to your body right? So if she feels great eating the way that she’s eating this way then that is all that matters, all opinions aside. End of story.
If what she’s doing works for her and she wants to share with the world that’s her business!!! Sadly, we are taught to listen to doctors, scientists, dietitians, and everybody else instead of listening to ourselves. Listen to your body only and it will tell you what works and what don’t work!!! Fuck what everybody else says. If it feels good stick to it if it doesn’t throw it out but don’t hate.
coming up on 2 years whole food plant based and loving it. been a subscriber for almost that long too. namaste!
I absolutely love your videos!! They’re so educational and I’m learning so much. And the way you simplify it and explain it is so understandable!! Thank you!! ♥️♥️
You are the goat. �� I really hope people research before they follow someone’s advice on the internet…who doesn’t have a degree.
Totally understand the logistics behind a scientific view point, but since everyone’s bodies are so different, this style of eating might really help some people’s digestion! Just glad she’s getting enough calories/nutrients in & getting individual’s more interested in whole foods. Her full day of eating locks in all the RDA’s in my book!!
I’ve noticed people who embark and get swept into these food diets are similar to those who can be easily enticed to a cult. They tend to be impressionable, lonely, low self esteem, narcissistic, and have addictive personalities. It is sad and I hope they get better.
can’t get over how thankful I am for this! It is not safe or appropriate for someone with absolutely no credentials to massively spread misinformation. It is damaging and encourages unhealthy, disordered eating. Kenzie should not have a platform where she gives out nutrition advice. Would you take the word of janitor when it comes to neurosurgery? (No disrespect to any custodial jobs, just pointing out the different backgrounds <3) The answer is no! So why are people taking advice from her?
Hello, just to know beans are considered as starch or as protein?
Would love to see a review of Kate Hutchins and Negin Mirsalehi’s diets. Love and adore both of them, so it’d be interesting to see how you view their diets:)
It is soo funny to see too many stupid people speaking about nutrition. Now a days everyone is trying to give advices about healthy eating and weight loss. Abbey, keep doing those reactions to help us understand the right way for healthy eating. YOU’RE THE BEST!
this video brings about an interesting perspective on food combining, given your academic knowledge and formal training with nutrition. I know modern biology and nutritional science disproves many of the biological claims made by Ayurvedic food combining practitioners in regards to digestion. this goes to show that everybody’s body works differently, and even without the concrete scientific backing, this can still work for some people as long as it’s non restrictive, which it seems like it isn’t for you!
Thank you so much for a meaningful video. I’ve learnt a lot about this and you helped me to understand the science behind food combinations in the easiest and quickest way. Your video is short and no second was wasted, not like other videos about combinating food for weight loss or endless eating ect. I really have to take note all of those facts you shared and I am so motivated to take care of myself better and be more healthier (not only the physical health but also the mental health).
Although english is not my mother toungue, i still can understand and catch up all fact you shared! Thanks a lot!
there is SO much value to this video however there is also a lot more to the “rules”, “protein” in kenzie’s reset only constitutes animal proteins. so legumes and starches are a-okay! raw fruits and raw veggies together are also fine because veggies are “neutral.”
totally loved the insight that this video provides but i did just wanna share that it’s not quite as restrictive as you may have thought initially!
I love your videos, I just finished my bachelor in biology and plan to do my master in food science and I find your videos really entertaining and yet informing at the same time. I fell for some of the myths about food combining myself and I am glad you enlightend me so thank you:)
People in the food combining community think their enzymes are like them, aka can only process one thing at a time aka stupid. Sorry not sorry about being harsh. Proteins (enzymes) are extremely complicated, they function in multi-pathways that are activated by many different aspects. Please stop thinking the biological system is as dumb as food combining because they’re not! Did these people even take biology in high school???
Hi Abbey. Would you review “Nutritarian” diet by Joel Fuhrman? Thanks�� love your channel.
Wonderful video on proper food combining! A big thank you!! Do you happen to have this on a chart by chance? Please and thank you. ��
Hello Abbey, I am so glad I had come across your videos as a means to finally make sense of this whole 100 types diet trend. Because of falling into many different types of traps I am aspiring to become a Registered Dietician myself and protect those from these terrible diets including our daughter. I haven’t been watching long, but wondering if you could debunk a bikini competition diet of any kind if you haven’t already?
THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. The first time I heard this girl was on a podcast and I had to turn it off because I was so irritated. The host of the podcast was PREGNANT. KB was telling the PREGNANT host how to eat. WHO IN THE WORLD is this girl to tell a pregnant woman (or anyone for that matter) how to eat for health. No no no. So very wrong. Kenzie found a way of eating that works for her (however strange it is) but she should not be telling others how to eat especially when it makes zero sense.
how long should I wait after oranges before eating bananas or vice versa
The first time I ever heard about food combining is from the author Kimberly Snyder whom unfortunately never gets credited in the modern social media food combining scene. It almost seems unfair to judge a diluted social media influencer version to the book by Kimberly that is more eloquently stated and supported. It’s crazy to think that having an interest in health and wellness is enough to advise others on. Perhaps YouTube should look into this type of content and its regulations.
watching this video while eating a big old apple with delicious crunchy almond butter
You are freaking hilarious! Everything you think is written across your face. I love that you are so entertaining and educational.
Ps: This diet is sooo bizarre and this more girl is so impressionable.
I’ve been following your channel for a while and I really like your style. I saw a video mentioning the concept of food combining which is not mentioned in your video. I wonder if you have time to watch that video and see if it makes sense? Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh46Z8-DXrE&list=PLeKnD8m01Yzpr7kBLaPREORXSQmyd2y_e&index=18&t=0s
this lady does NOT know what she’s talking about oh god i feel sorry for the people believing this BS
Not trying to be mean but she just reminds me of an MLM lady.
I’m sorry but I can’t make it past min 3:29.
Abbey: you’re amazing, but I just can’t listen to this chick’s nonsense. I am sure this is a great video like all your videos, but this girl’s “logic” about the fruit pushing the chicken inside of her hot body is just irritating. As a dietitian yourself, I am sure this was even harder for you to watch.
Yes, it’s nice to see myths being debunked by empirical evidence but the theory that assumes food in the stomach is the cause of all sickness makes sense because detoxification is the goal of many health practices. So the faster it gets out the better.
the existence of ppl like Kenzie should force every American into an epiphany moment about the damaging and destructive effect the lack of compulsory science & math education in our K-12 system is having on our society.
here in Italy almost every nutritionist is all about food combining ��
her body using 80-90% of its energy to digest would actually make sense, because than it leaves her with only 10-20% of energy to use her brain properly:P
This does not sound very accurate. I have found a video of an actual nutritionist reviewing Dr Mona’s video, and he says all she is saying is wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fij_lgK-9w
I tried the 21 day reset for about a week and I honestly felt great! I definitely did not do it for long enough to have a fully formed opinion on it though. Looking back now, it seems kind of ridiculous. I went out and spent like $100 on groceries or something and I didn’t even like most of the foods. I don’t like avocado so it was really difficult to find things that I liked!! This is a great video, thank you!
Your added comment about the tea made me laugh out loud. Love your personality and I’m definitely interested in trying food combining now.
Yep, I usually advise people to eat fruit as an appetizer and wait ten or fifteen mins before eating other stuff… or as a stand alone snack… versus eating fruit immediately after a meal like a dessert… not only because of the quick digestion, but its a good prebiotic and contains enzymes to help digestion of everything coming in after, especially cooked foods that are enzyme free… that’s what I’ve concluded thus far.
Some of these people didn’t grow up watching The Magic School Bus and it shows.
i’m trying food combining soon!! your video made me excited(: -love from a small youtuber
My mom lost a significant amount of weight thanks to a dissociated diet. Neither she or I say it has “health benefits”, she only says it allowed her to structure her meals better without compromising on entire food groups. As long as she’s eating everything she needs to eat as a fully functioning human being, I don’t see a problem.
for me it was exhaution it was like: WHAT?! this could not be right after all. I’m still with this opinion, that vergetables/fruits are not cool “over” lentils/noodles/meat. But this is very limitating. I am really hopefull on the way, that my body actually does know, what to do with the food I am eating. Hope (and feeling, what I was negotiating) is good. Thank you Abbey <3
Will you review trim healthy mama? ALL the moms I know do this one.
I discovered this type of food-combining in 2012, when I got really into orthorexia. There were so many rules, my brain struggled to keep all that information in (on a unintentionally 800 kcal diet). Also, I got into this clean eating thing with this acidic/alkaline food shit. I was bloated so much every night, it hurt and I looked like a balloon though I combined right. Not to mention I was so ravenous all the time, I thought I was broken for wanting to eat more food. That leaded to occasional non-healthy-food binging like 6 pieces of cake in a sitting or a whole chocolate bar a day or whatever). Afterwards I felt always awfull.
I suffered like half a year with this, keeping up with all those rules and eventually found out I had some fructose intolerances going on. And histamine. And lactose. Keeping those intolerances in mind, it got a little better, but never went away completely. I used to bloat daily, and I was so embaressed to fart all the time. It sucks balls!!! Why can’t I eat those really nice smoothie bowls with fun toppings without turning into a bag of wind?!
About 8 years later, now, I come to realize, that I might have a slight form of IBS. Keeping an eye on that, I tried to find out what’s triggering my issues. It took YEARS to learn and re-learn all that food-related stuff. It’s never easy.
Ty for this video bc I almost started food combining! You speak so much more eloquently and informed (since you’re clearly qualified) than Kenzie. I really appreciate this!
What about how chinese and japanese eat in the morning? Is that good food combining? Miso soup white rice fish eggs cooked greens and natto?
The one way street analogy had me literally say out loud, “I’m sorry, what!?” Girl, shut up.
Listening to Kenzie explain digestion is like listening to a four year old explain a dream they had, but with less basis in reality
Abbey needs to have merch that says “Crazy Aboot Nutrition” or something on them ��❤️
Okay, I mentally checked out after that freaking list, I CAN’T!!
Pretty astonishing that Kenzie Burke can be certified as a nutritionist while promoting such easily researchable misinformation. I was really interested in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition when I first heard about it but SO glad that I chose to take a[n actually evidence-based] course at my local community college instead!
But in my country dal and rice with spoonful of ghee ie. Clarified butter is supposed to be most healthy and complete meal.
Neuropsych major here just to add in a little tidbit for 6:55 your brain is actually the organ that uses up the most energy in your body (around 20% of total expenditure) which makes sense since it’s the one regulating everything going on (for the most part). Another factoid: glucose is your brain’s primary source of energy which is why carbs are really important to have in your diet. If you force your body into ketogenesis your brain needs to turn those ketones into forms it can use which takes more time and energy and is likely why when people start a keto diet they tend to have headaches and sluggishness.
P.S. I’m just a student so feel free to correct me if anything I wrote above isn’t completely accurate:)
Its kinda irritating that people are so misinformed about things and they present them as facts to others. So misleading.
Food combining is a myth. Milk has all 3 macronutrients and is the perfect food. If a baby can digest carbs, protein and fats together and you can’t, the foods aren’t the problem, your gut is. I eat fruits with meat or potatoes with eggs with no problem.
please….dont give any more advice…
see that china eats correctly first
This is an interesting video to me. Would you say that Dr. Mona Vand who also follows Food Combining needs to take an anatomy class as well with her doctorate?
Pausing again, with a shake of my head, as I was so far off in my interpretation. When I first read the phrase “food combining” I was eager to see some great food combinations. Yummy, nutritious, balanced, colorful, interesting, and perhaps new-to-me combinations. I was so far off I’d driven into the ocean trying to get to Kansas from Missouri.
Abbey: takes a deep breath “So… I think Kenzie needs an anatomy class.”
Me: dead. ��
“I am not a reptile nutritionist” mouhahaha her gaze sooo good
She’s just another YouTuber with NO education whatsoever, no degree, no knowledge, and who is talking about things she has no idea about, just repeating stupid things she read on the internet and preaching that to young, unconfident girls. Youtube can be a dangerous place, I’m happy that channel like yours exist.
Can you do a what I eat in a day following these guidelines? Please!?!?
Hey guys! Just wanted to quickly say the food combining I’ve been following that works for ME considers beans and lentils starches, not proteins. They take longer to digest more along the lines of starches than animal protein. That’s what works for me �� okay hope you’re enjoying and having a great day!!
Began food combining 3 days ago. Definitely feel less bloated and tons more energy in the mornings was able to bag my pre workout supplement and still get through my workout.
Looking for to learning more about this.
Where do protein shakes fit into the plan
New subscriber and I want to thank you for these reviews! So important to put factual information out there in this community. I’m currently bingeing your reviews and each one gets better…I admire your respectful approach (and appreciate your facial expressions ��). Thank you, such important work!
Dr. Mona… you are def on to something. Dr. Sebi talked about food combining. But, I was introduced to it by dr. Afrika.
Some food combination are actually bad. I’ve heard lots of sources tell not to mix banana and milk. But I always drink banana milkshake anyways, and every single time I feel nauseated after that
Speaking as a very picky food junky, these food combinations looked beautiful, yet I know would taste DISGUSTING for me. lol I’m like a toddler here. I don’t want fancy restaurant from Mr Gordon RAmsey. Is there a food pairing for toddlers like me? lol
Love your videos and personality! How do you make pickled onions??
It would have been much better if I discovered this unique “Yamzoko Weebly” (Google it) a couple of years back. I shed 12 lbs in three weeks up to now. There is certainly still need of physical exercises even only a few times a week as well as the foodstuff to have must be ideal. The result shown to me is fantastic. I absolutely propose the item, hope it works as good for you since it does for me..
Yeahhhh that tulsi cleanse is a lottttt lol very bitter I just chug it ��
The right food combination is sooo important, avoiding malnutrition…
I have so much fun watching your videos you crack me up! Xoxo
Hi! Was wondering where did you read/find out that banana and avocado are an exception to the rule of fruit with starches?
Xx
I’m researching good combinations and came across you… and then found you on insta…. 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?
Hi Joana
I do a very hard core workout
I ve completed ur 1000 squats and lunges challenge also…..but still im not loosing weight…..it has become stagnant…..I ve done all the ways to lose but not able to lose those stubborn belly fat…..according to u which form or excercise would be the best for me for losing thosse belly fats…..functional workout or core workout or aerobics or cardio or kibo workout?????
It honestly bothers me how you judge people when you used to be the same way, of all people I think you would be more understanding of these issues!
you should try the trader joe’s chile lime seasoning! i think it’s better than tajun
I got like 5-10 lbs to lose,and I get super bloated after I eat (I look preggo even though my stomach isn’t that big��) might try food combining
I’m late to this party but I agree! Food that passes through us too quickly would leave us hungry all the time. That’s annoying! Who has time to eat all day long? My favorite meals are healthy with a little bit of indulgence that keeps my tummy happy for a good 4-5 hours. Meals that contain carbs, fats and proteins are the ones that keep me feeling energetic. That’s just me!:)
starch and protein is the staple of most foods! How does one break such an ingrained habit?
Ahh I love this! I also gave food combining a try and have a what I eat in a day up on my channel:)
I m an Indian…n i eat dal chawal….how can i separate the protein and starch
Love the video and you are so funny! Can you make a video on how to pickle onions and garlic? ��
Seems like she should spend more time reading about actual science than getting fillers. Or watch that Magic School Bus episode on digestion.
I’m actually so glad that a person with a nutrition background has reviewed food combining and you gave your honest opinion! I have my bachelors in dietetics and I was super skeptical of this at first but now I’m interested in testing this out!
I love plantains. Grew up in south Florida, heavy Cuban influence.
Hi. Great video. Did this food combining diet help you to lose weight? I’m interested in weight loss aspect of the diet. Do you have to be a vegan to follow the diet, or can you be an omnivore?
Thank you for any answers you can provide.
Cheers!
I want to try food combining but I have tbh, your food likes and mine differ somewhat but it looks healthy
The SIETE chips and RAOS sauce are ahhmazing. My faves������
Im subscribing to you because you are SO FUNNY, and i love the way you say avocados like me.
Do you think this would work for me when I’m in high school? I really want to try it but I’m afraid it’ll be hard as I’m in school!!
haha came across your vid cuz i saw the cheat sheet i drew in your thumbnail!! you’re killing it girl!!
That neon green shirt is soooo cute. You’ll catch me in the men’s section at Walmart ��
Not to be mean or anything but why does she seem so tense, idk it looks like she’s afraid to move her neck and can only look to the side without turning her head
loving this video you are inspiring me to make a food video this next week! might do my grocery haul tomorrow!
Just found your channel from recommended videos, and I think we met at Mizzou in like 2012/2013?!
Hey so! Instead of using mayo for your tuna salad �� what I like to do is actually mash avocado with tuna and sprinkle some Cajun spice to make like a tuna melt! Omg it’s sooooo good! Also what camera do you use? I’m just making my first video soon hehe!
Do you meal prep with your schedule? Or are you mostly able to eat at home and take more snack-like stuff throughout your day?
Where did you get your frenchie?! I’m in Champaign il and trying to find one that’s not across the country lol
i think reading the rules wouldve beeen better! as someone who listens to videos while driving, i wasnt able to fully enjoy this full video without the background
Thank you sooo much i have been eating like this since 2 years now and it sooo good and i loose 75 kg
I have never heard of food combining before. I guess I am late to the game. I suppose I shall do some research and check it out. Great video, I got some meal and snack ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Should this be followed by people who are starting to diet or lose weight? I’ve seen your other video you have mixed meat with starch, is this depending on each person. How they work out hence the need for the type of diet that will be beneficial for certain workouts.
How effective is Custokebon Secrets? We have heard several awesome things about this popular lose weight diet plan.
If you wish to shed weight, you should check out Custokebon Secrets on google. They will make it easier to get the shape you should have.
I have a slow digestion:< I only poop 2-3 times a week sometimes worst 1time only
But once food gets to the stomach it’s acidic d the stomach digestion is stomach acid. So?
Does Custokebon Secrets (do a google search) help me lost lots of fat? I notice lots of people keep on speaking about this popular lose weight diet plan.
Anybody know what is Custokebon Secrets about? I hear most people burn their fat with this popular weight loss secrets.
They should be td to correct the misinformation they put out
This is so eye opening, we’ve been taught wrong since we were kids, at least in my country. They’ve always been campaigning about how a proper and balanced meal consists of (roughly translated?) “healthy 4, perfect 5” which are carbs, meat, vegetables, fruits for the healthy four and milk for the ‘perfect’ additional nutrition. Hence families have been making foods containing those combined in one meal, which is not exactly suitable.
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
Thank you, Joanna….. for valuable informative solutions….
You so smart young girl….
I’m proud of you…. keep up the good work…..God bless you and your family a very happy life… and keep you safe…..☺️������������
This unique “Kοnοnοz yyd” (Google it) is actually a eating plan that I have utilizing just for Five weeks by now and that i have shed Ten pounds already and reduce 3 inches off of my waist. This really tends to make me more enthusiastic on a daily basis immediately after I have eliminated some of my excess pounds..
will you please do a video about your program and your experience with it!!!!
The problem is that I’m used to the “protein_carbs” combination ����
This is handy but, how about Japanese diet (that I’ve been experimenting on)? rice (starch) and tofu/fish (protein) are often eaten in the same meal, right? is it a bad combination then?
I definitely agree with a lot of what she talked about, both weight loss and bloating problems will change regardless of food combining.
I am in undergrad for exercise science and going into nutrition to become an RD. Personally, applying SOME of the food combining methods has helped me, but I wanted to just outline that the examples she gave at the end all actually align with kenzie’s method of food combining! I’m not sure if the exact “food combining” principle doesn’t align with hers at that point. However in kenzie’s food combining guidelines she definitely does combine legumes with starchy vegetables and vitamin C (vegetables not fruits) rich sources. She doesn’t combine starchy vegetables with proteins, and i have my questions about that, however, because she follows a plant based diet (as do i) that’s not as much of a concern or option in the first place.
REALLY GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks a lot for this guide Joanna. I have a question though. I have been eating one banana and one boiled egg and sugarless oats porridge for breakfast on work days. Should I change this given the fact that fruits should not be combined.
@joanna do you recommend drinking herbal tea with a meal? And I am vegan whole food diet and I find even a sip of water can bloat me�� it’s an on going battle for me and can not dictate what is the cause of my bloating!!! Any suggestions please ��
can you eat fruit after dinner or should i eat it before dinner
Wow I honestly think you just gave me the tools to cure my auto immune disorder by following your food combining tips my life long dream is to marry a women like you peace and love you are also very beautiful
Im sorry, this commentsection is so full of amazing humor, but i have to ask something. My mother is realy obsessed with the conzept of this acid-base balance. The same with my mother-in-law.
Do you have a video where you tell if that makes any sence? Because my mother teached me so much stuff about eating, which was totaly crap and realy hard to find out for me that it is so.
Im sorry for my bad english writing, it is not my mother tongue.
What about oatmeals? is it ok to combine it with fruits like banana and apple?
I think she might be thinking of sloths. They use most of their energy to digest their food and can barely move and only poop once a week….
Hello mam.. your videos are so inspiring.. but i would like to know if you could help with a diet plan and exeecise for pcod, because of which hanging belly fat is big concern and loosing.. weighg
Hi JO can we eat banana and oats together (this i generally what i have every morning). If not, what fruit can oats be mixed with? if any.
Listen to someone who is earning their PhD in nutritional science. He explains just how much she is full of bs and spreading bogus claims
https://youtu.be/Fij_lgK-9w
I love eating!! But I love food combining even more when I’m eating! ❤️❤️❤️ wow ur amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
U just Rock. U r so so wonderful as u did explained it made it understand so well n easy. so superb yar. �� ��
You say eat fruits alone but your what I eat in a day video has overnight oats with fruits for breakfast? I like to eat fruit with oats and nuts and seeds with coconut milk for breakfast… so I guess that’s all wrong? It’s mixing everything up
Don’t combine protein and fat? What about nuts and seeds. They naturally combine protein and fat.
I have actually implemented this specific “Yamzoko Weebly” (Google it) for some days by now as well as the final results are awesome. I still have the energy I need without having suppressing the desire for foods without having making me feel jittery. I haven`t changed everything else I am doing and also have dropped 7 lbs..
Please watch this before you get anxiety about putting fruit with oatmeal: https://youtu.be/gdFzAxCnH94
I followed this diet about 25 years ago using Doris Grants Book. I did it after an attack of Diverticulitis and prepared myself for surgery using this diet to maximise nutrition and enrrgy. I have never felt so alive in my life even though I had this condition. When I had the operation I was allowed out much sooner than was first thought because I healed so rapidly. Im going to try this again because I know Im having difficulty digesting food and my body and muscles ache. Im confident this will work again.
With this most of the Indian food combinations will be discarded
Omg I just checked… her 21 day program is $50 for a digital copy and $60 for a physical copy??? That’s so expensive!!!
What food groups can I combine probiotics such as kefir and greek yogurt?
protein and rice has to be the most common meal on the planet, I can’t get on board with this.
https://youtu.be/gypY7B605D4 in your this video you yourself combined protein with carbs? ��
Wow what an amazing piece of advice. I have very similar guts to yours and one small wrong thing can disturb it very quickly. Thanks for this wonderful piece of advice ����
What is the best product or brand to lost a lot of fat? I read a lot of great opinions on the internet about how exactly Custokebon Secrets can help you lost crazy amounts of fat. Has any one tested out this popular lose weight secrets?
Honestly this is one of the best videos ever not just because it’s educational and shuts down BULLCRAP but also because Abbey just takes no shit and I can’t stop laughing
Me too I also have a very much sensitive gut
Even though I am 12
Do you have a print out of foods that combine well together? I also heard that tomatoes and cucumbers don’t combine well in a salad.
This eating method has worked great for me for many decades. I learned about it from a book written that long ago. No bloating when practiced, and keeps weight down.
Are you a qualified nutritionist? 1st of all that food combining story is a pseudo scientific non factual myth!, proove me wrong with SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE to back it up “ Dr “.
I stumbled on this strange “carb trick” and burned away an unheard of 22lbs pounds in just 13 days.
And because of this one simple shift in my eating, I did it without starving myself!
And without a lick of exercise!
It is working me. I’ve noticed a difference in the first week. Thanks for sharing.
Hey everyone, I have great method to reach to your desired
weight in 2020, If you want to know how did it, email me: [email protected] gmail.com, I will send you a
free secret.
Thank you Joanna! Great advice. Some of my issues now make sense. Keep up the great work!
Please people, don’t trust this. This is all wrong…
Gojiman will tell you why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fij_lgK-9w
It saddens me so much that these kind of videos have so many likes. I guess the messenger is more important than the truth of the message…?:'(
Thank you for sharing! I recently seen this idea, I have a huge problem with gas & am unable to lose weight, following some of the simple ideas… no bloating, no sluggish after affects. Fell back to eating the wrong combination & spent another a long night sick. Get into simple idea of following the food combining it won’t be that hard. I will come back in a month & let you know how I am doing. Thank you!
Thats why ive been told to eat lean meats and veggies…hmmmm
Thank you very much for simplifying this even more. I learned a lot from this video!:)
Lady you have to check this out
https://womanuniverse.net/13-food-combinations-that-can-speed-up-your-weight-loss/
Hello Joanna, your videos are always helpful… especially this one. I just realized that I gain weight very quickly and loose very slowly… I will definitely use this information to my advantage, thanks lots of love from South Africa
I really like all your videos of presents about Food and knowledge of food, I really want to learn and understand as you, could you please recommended which course should I learn or any books?thank you ��
Thank you for the video very good explaintation. I still have a question about beans though.. Since they are concidered both a protein and starch what can i combine them with beside non starcy veggies and leavy greens? Cause i also read that you cant mix different proteins but you can mix different starches. Can you maybe give me an example of food combining beans with other foods besides non starcy veggies and leafy greens?
That’s the problem… you’re looking for evidence form conventional science/research which you won’t find. If you want to learn why food combining should be done by all humans, you’ll need to delve into traditional Chinese medicine. These “rules” like everyone calls them, were created because that’s how our bodies function
thank you so much for your video. i am starting a healthier journey and did not know about these combinations. Is there any way you could make a video explaining or giving some examples of simple meals with ingredients that go together for a typical menu for a day? if not, do you know where i can find this infromation? thank you so much!:)
