The first known to us authors of separate food were the Ancient Greek, and then, the ancient Roman physicians, who left after themselves the meaningful works in which they (back in those ancient times), recommended their patients to follow the drawing up of the ration and not eat everything. But very many years have passed since the idea itself was not formulated into a concept, and the concept was not given a name. This happened in 1928, when the American doctor Herbert Sheldon introduced the world a new system of food consumption, namely, separate food. Popularity, however, did not come immediately, but only in the second half of the twentieth century.
Today, there is no such person who at least did not hear anything about the principle of compatibility of products with separate meals. We heard, of course, heard, but in order for any food system to become useful, it must be studied.
We offer you a short excursion on the compatibility of products in separate food.
Separate power supply - compatibility
To begin with, we need to understand how Sheldon himself created this system. At first he divided all the products that we consume into groups, guided by their chemical composition and the environment necessary for their digestion and assimilation.
Sheldon watched what processes occur inside us after eating, thanks to long years of observation and a system of compatibility and incompatibility in separate nutrition was born.
So, as for the main product groups:
- meat, fish, poultry can not be combined with starchy foods, it is possible with green and non-starchy vegetables;
- Pulses and cereals combine with vegetable oils and green vegetables, but not with animal protein;
- Starchy vegetables can not be combined with animal proteins and fats;
- sour fruit should be eaten 15-20 minutes before eating;
- not starchy vegetables are combined with animal and vegetable fats separately;
- Milk can not be combined with anything;
- cottage cheese can be eaten only with greens;
- Nuts should also be consumed separately;
- eggs can be combined with herbs;
- mushrooms - a neutral product, they are combined with carbohydrate products, and with protein, but separately.
Some explanations on compatibility of products of separate food for you:
- milk can not be combined with anything, because it is digested only by curdling in the acidic environment of the stomach, if other foods are present there, the milk will begin to envelop them and prevent digestion, which will lead to rotting, followed by flatulence and upset stomach;
- strictly should be treated with melons and watermelons - they, like sour fruits, should be eaten 20 minutes before meals, but not after and not in combination with anything;
- bread with olive oil and herbs is a separate dish, you can not eat bread after another meal;
- alkaline and acidic foods can not be mixed in one meal, because these products create one or another environment in the stomach, which means that with the combination there will not be enough acid, for digesting proteins, or alkali for carbohydrates.
Separate food is created for more rational digestion. Such a conscious intake of food allows the digestive tract to extract all energy, vitamins , nutrients from the food, and also prevents problems and diseases of the digestive tract.
For more information on the combination of products, see the separate power sharing table. If you decide to stick to such a diet, it will be sensible to paste the table on the refrigerator, otherwise it will not be easy to combine.
Diet of separate diet for weight loss
There is also a diet based on the compatibility of products with separate meals. This is a 90-day weight loss for four-day cycles. That is, the first day - proteins, the second - starchy foods, the third - carbohydrates, the fourth - vitamins (vegetables and fruits).
This cycle is repeated all 90 days. They say that in three months of such super separate food you can lose 25 kg of excess weight.
