Diets based on „food combining” principle, separates proteins from carbohydrates. Beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds contains them both. The healthiest nation in the world are formed by persons who follow diets based on these products.
There is a number of diets that follow this principle and it’s based on the work of Dr. Hay, from the '30s.
He encouraged the consumption of wholegrain foods, fruits and vegetables. He also claimed that fruits need to be eat'd separately, if they were consumed after a steak for example, then the fruit could ferment which is not healthy.
He also recommends not to eat carbohydrates accompanied with proteins. For example: pasta with rice, or chicken with fried potatoes are not healthy together.
A study where they recommend obese and overweight persons to follow this type of diet showed a 3,6% change in their weight during an year. Although subjects were not advised to eat less or to change the type of food consumed, there was no method of pointing up that the weight loss was determined by the combination technique or the changes in the quantity or quality of the consumed food.
Most overweight people have problems with blood sugar, it would seem that a combination of protein with carbohydrates to be a better solution, not worse.
So fish with rice is definitely an option.
This is a basic diet, besides fruits and vegetables, many populations on islands and isolated areas around the world use this diet and they are populations with a very good health.
Dr. Hay’s approach, if followed it strictly, is probably the best suited for those with digestive problems and not so good for those with blood sugar issues.
