Food products are divided into protein, carbohydrate, fat. But it is important not only to know which products belong to which group, but also how products from one group are combined with another. Eating uncombined foods at the same time leads to weight gain, metabolic disorders, unpleasant sensations in the gastrointestinal tract and other negative consequences.
Instructions
Step 1
Fats with protein products or fats with carbohydrates go well with each other. Vegetables go very well with proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Fruit should preferably be consumed separately from the main meals - either an hour before, or an hour and a half after.
Step 2
There are some rules for combining individual products. So, tomatoes and citrus fruits should be avoided with carbohydrate foods. For example, banana (a carbohydrate product) with an orange, a tomato with carbohydrate bread or pasta cannot be combined. But tomatoes go well with lettuce leaves, with protein foods and fatty ones, since tomato acid breaks down fats and proteins well.
Step 3
Do not combine starchy foods (potatoes, rice, bananas) with protein, as well as with fruits. But they go well with fats (vegetable, butter) and green vegetables.
Step 4
Protein foods (meat, poultry, eggs, dairy, nuts, soy) should not be consumed with other protein foods, as well as starchy, sweet and fatty foods. Protein is always well absorbed by the body in combination with certain non-starchy vegetables and sour fruits. An example of a good combination is a steak with a salad of fresh tomatoes and cucumber with herbs.
Step 5
Combine cereal dishes with green vegetables or fats. Eat legumes separately, without milk, oil. Garnish with fresh green salad. Do not combine milk, melon, herring with other products at all. Consume them separately.
Step 6
Remember the simple rule of food pairing. The simpler the dish and its components, the less plentiful dining table is laid in front of you, the easier it will be for the body to assimilate what you have eaten and the less chances that you will make a mistake in the combination of certain products.
