Food Combining (sometimes known as The Hay Diet) is something I've looked at a few times, especially after reading Fit for Life by Harvey Diamond a few years ago.
To be honest, it sounds like it makes sense but Harvey Diamond made it so complicated I didn't bother trying it. He had all these rules on when to eat, what sequence to eat in etc. and it really put me off.
Having said that, the one rule about only eating fruit on an empty stomach and no later than 30 minutes before a meal cured me of fruit-related acid reflux...so he's not all bad!!!
Anyway, the Complete Book of Food Combining is a different kettle of fish altogether.
Not too many rules other than the don't eat concentrated proteins with concentrated carbohydrates in the same meal. (and only eat fruit on an empty stomach!)
It's a straight-forward explanation of food combining, how to do it, how it has helped others and how it may help you, and loads of different recipes to try.
It's a great book that will take you from novice to master food combiner in just one read.
I award this book 5 "Easy to Follow Food Charts" out of 5
