To Feel Good and Lose Weight, Stop Eating The Wrong Food Combinations
There is a very old saying that goes something like this: "You are what you eat." For the most part, this is true. Many people refuse to believe this and follow their lust for food into the dark abyss of poor health. It has been proven that with a healthy diet comes good health, no doubt about it. The tough thing to handle is that the foods that taste good to us, when combined improperly, cause us gastrointestinal problems that would otherwise not even surface. If one learns how to eat the right foods at the right time, almost all foods can be eaten by anyone. It's those various food combinations that cause the problem. Did you know that you can eat gas producing foods such as broccoli, cabbage and beans without the tremendous gas production? What about acid reflux? If you eat the right combinations of foods, you can do away with the misery of acid reflux, not to mention the pills. Wouldn't you like to be able to sleep at night without having to prop your bed up or use multiple pillows to elevate your upper torso? Just eat the right foods at the right time and you can do away with this problem. Let's explore this phenomenon further.
Have you ever stopped to consider how the different combinations of the foods we eat seems to work either for or against or disgestion systems? Well, truth be known, if certain food combinations are avoided, much of our digestive system health could improve significantly. I've got a few tips for you. First of all you should never eat milk and meat together. Apparently, this started as some type of religious dictum eons ago, however, there is ancient wisdom at work here. You see, the fact is meats and milk cannot be digested together because this combination will cause indigestion, toxins and putrefaction of the food in the stomach. Many ancient religions also forbid eating fish with milk. Not a good idea but Western civilization doesn't always recognize this wisdom of the forefathers. Too bad as it could save the modern man a lot of intestinal grief.
There is scientific fact behind the idea that different food types are digested differently in our gastrointestinal (GI) systems. This occurs in various different places in the system and through the use of different chemicals and even at differing times. So you see that if we expect our digestive systems to be able to run efficiently and healthy, we've got to be conscious of what we are eating at all times. Different food types and food groups may require alkaline environments in order to digest. One such food group that fits this category is "starches." Other food groups, like proteins, must have an acidic environment in order to complete the digestive process. If both of these food groups are consumed in the same meal, the stomach has a great deal of difficulty digesting all the food. Unfortunately, the result is a sodden, slow and poorly performing chemical reaction that diminishes the digestion we need. When this occurs, the consumed food does nothing but putrify in the gut and releases toxins into the system. This undigested food simply begins to rot inside the stomach which causes the release of toxic gases, and in time, serious digestive disorders appear. These poor digestion problems and the resulting GI problems often are unable to be traced as the root cause once the serious problems take hold. Once the toxins begin to build up and the body becomes affected, such things as constipation, nervous disorders and a slowdown of the general metabolism are bound to occur in time.
Recent studies show that the average Western male is usually carrying approximately 5 pounds of undigested, putrifying red meat in their digestive system. What do you think it would be like to live in a house in which you kept 5 pounds of rotting red meat in a dark corner of your kitchen every day of the year. Unfortunately, the image is not pleasant, but that's what the "average" Western male is toting around inside of himself constantly.
In order to prevent these types of situations there are certain guidelines that should be followed when one prepares meals.
1. First of all, proteins such as beans,seeds, nuts,peanuts,peas,lentils,cheese,milk and eggs should never be eaten in the same meal with carbohydrates such as potatoes,corn,squash,lima beans,yams,pumpkins,grains,carrots,beets or coconuts. Each meal should include ONLY one kind of protein. The acids in the stomach will be excited by protein based foods while the starch or carbo- foods will start the alkalis flowing. When this occurs, the two types of food will neutralize the entire digestive process, starting in the stomach. This causes a watery digestive solution and neither the proteins nor the carbohydrates get digested. Although we feel satisfied, with a full stomach, the food begins to rot inside.
2. You should always avoid eating starch and acids such as juice or fruits in the same meal. An example would be white bread and citrus juices which cannot be digested together. Sugars and fats should never be combined in any one meal. In other words, cereals, bread, potatoes or other such foods should never be eaten in the same meal with berries, oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, or other acid foods.
Does this sound familiar? Are you eating these combinations? Have you been eating them all your life? How's your health today compared to earlier in your life?
3. What do we usually eat at the end of a nice meal? Dessert, right? BAD idea! Why? Because the sweet, sugary desserts we love so much are improperly digested after you've eaten all of these proteins and carbohydrates. When the sugars of these desserts get added to the rest of the mix in your stomach, they are not digested. Instead, they simply begin to putrify and the result is fermented alcohol, acetic acids and vinegar. Yep, vinegar produced by your eating habits.
4. If you enjoy fruits, that's good but do not mix certain types of acid fruits. We're talking about such things as oranges, pomegranates, strawberries, grapefruits,pineapples, lemons, limes, tangerines and kiwi fruits being mixed with sweet fruits like bananas, dates, raisins, papayas, figs, persimmons grapes,and other dried fruits. They are unable to digest well when combined.
5. One should never eat melons with any other fruits or foods. Digestion will not take place with anything else.
6. We've talked about bad food combinations. Let's look at some good combinations: include in this group proteins with low starch or green veggies such as meats and leafy vegetables or low starch vegetables. Starchy veggies such as rich and spinach can be digested well with green leafy vegetables.
7. Tomatoes may be placed in combination with low starch vegetables and oily proteins such as nuts. A separate meal should be made of all fruits.
8. We've already mentioned milk and meat, which is a no-no, however, it is a good combination with fruits, except for citrus fruits. The typical Western breakfast with meals that contain items like toast, eggs, bacon and milk are one of the most toxic food combinations that can be eaten. Also, the old traditional steak and potato combination is also a complete no-no and can cause substantially more damage than any other combination.
Food that is rotting in your digestive system is the reason for many different problems. Usual problems that you may see include such maladies as gas, heartburn, acid reflux, GERD,cramps, constipation, stomach or gut bloating, foul smelling stools, colitis, diverticulitis, bleeding ulcers and various other digestive problem disorders. All those medications that you see advertised on TV will only provide a temporary relief and, though unfortunate, until your digestive system is cleared out of all the garbage that you have accumulated inside, there will be NO cure. Your blood will continue to absorb the toxins produced by putrefaction. The blood will then pass it on to the other organs and systems and the result will be allergies, hives, headaches, nausea and a whole lot more.
It is not only the food combinations that cause problems. There are some basic cooking methods that also cause much harm. One thing all should know is that you should never cook honey in any way. It causes a chemical reaction that is not pleasant. We all like our milk cold when we drink it, right? Well, it has been shown that cold milk may cause stomach problems, so milk should almost always be drunk warm. Served as such, it speeds up digestion.
There are several programs available that teach the correct methods of food combination and preparation. While some aspects of these skills are available in various online locations, the search for such programs often reveals the low level of knowledge about this subject.
If you have a desire to learn how to combine foods correctly, in order to heal such afflications as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis, Diverticulitis, Diarrhea, Constipation, Acid Reflux Disease and Intestinal parasites in as little as one day, you might care to look at the Great Taste No Pain website. There have been a great deal of trial-and-error studies performed over a long period of time, in order to learn the information provided here.

The sad truth is that fast weight loss techniques, that you read about and hear about all the time, are not always effective. That's right. Many of them do not provide the results that they promise. Fast weight loss is, to be fair, a relative term. "Relative to what?", you ask. Well, relative to what you consider "fast." Is your weight reduction goal one week or one month? Is it 10 pounds or 100 or more pounds?
You see, unfortunately, most people don't want to hear the truth and they'll fall for an advertisement claiming that they can lose 10 pounds a week when, in reality, that kind of weight loss can be very dangerous and unhealthy. Most people don't seem to want to know the truth about fast weight loss and they'd rather go on believing that there is a way to lose weight ridiculously fast enough that they'll be able to shed those 30 pounds in two weeks. Then, unfortunately, they are very disappointed and frustrated when the truth sets in and the highly marketed diet plan that they bought into turns out to be an exaggeration.
We Know What You're Going ThroughThat's why we, at Repair My Weight loss, are here. We want you to know the truth despite what others are trying to get you to believe. We're certainly not saying that diets don't work. We know that diets work but we also know that they're never a walk in the park. Diets take hard and often frustrating work. Most people give up on a diet just as the diet is about to show results. We know because the staff at Repair My Weight Loss has experienced most of those diets right along with you. We've suffered through the seemingly starvation type diets, the low carb diets, the low fat diets...just about every one of them. We understand what you are going through and we want to help you.
Fast weight loss diets are, for the most part, unreal. There are a few fast weight loss diets that actually work initially but after you've lost the first few pounds rather rapidly, they stall out. There's a reason for that.
Other proclaimed fast weight reduction diets don't even come close to their claims. Then there are those that are highly effective if you can stand to stay on them for any amount of time. No matter which diet you use, believe in or want to try, we've found that one thing always seems to make the initial phase of any diet work much more effectively.
Cleansing
The cleansing of the colon by certain methods seems to allow the body to move into diets a bit more easily. The initial shock of any type of diet to the body is tolerated more readily if the colon is cleansed appropriately first. Does this mean you have to experience some form of diarrhea for a week or something nasty like that? No, not at all. Some forms of colon cleansing don't have much to do with bowel movements but rather what you put into the body over a certain period of time.
We don't condone or sponsor ANY specific colon cleansing product here at RMWL, but we do promote, strongly, the use of some type of colon cleanser either with or without a diet. Why? Because your health starts in your colon and that's the orgination of most diseases. This is a private thing. No one has to know that you practice colon cleansing. Just don't tell them but, for your own sake, DO practice it. Here is a great site for learning more about colon cleansing.
