(More customer reviews)I'm not sure why the Hay diet isn't more popular in North America. (Maybe it's the name. Don't worry, Hay is the name of the doctor who created it, not a suggested menu item!) This book describes the principles of food combining according to the Hay plan, and provides food lists and sample recipes. It's simpler and easier to follow than recent American variations, such as Fit for Life and the Beverly Hills Diet. (It's interesting to note that the "new, updated" Fit for Life guidelines are much closer to the information in this book.) On this diet, you can eat as much as you want of any natural, unrefined foods. The catch is that you need to avoid eating "incompatible" combinations, such as meat and grains, at the same meal. You're encouraged to eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and avoid sugar, white flour products, and hydrogenated fats. I don't see how a nutritionist could find fault with this, even if they think the "incompatible" part isn't logical. You can follow both the "food pyramid" and the Hay diet, just by eating the recommended protein and starch servings at different meals. It couldn't hurt you, and could help a lot. For example, I have vastly improved energy and mood, my mind is clear, and I'm no longer distracted by constant Snickers bar cravings during the day! [P.S. If you've got the hang of food combining and want to feel even better, try using it along with the blood type diets in "Eat Right For Your Type". It's challenging, but worth it.]

Over 50 years ago, Dr. William Hay concluded that the body uses acids to digest proteins and alkalis to digest starches, and that mixing the two might lead to painful indigestion and more serious problems such as ulcers, allergies, and obesity. Though criticized at the time, the Hay System has been vindicated by modern research, and provides essentially the healthy, whole-food diet of mostly alkali-forming foods such as fruits, green vegetables, and salads advocated by many leading nutritionists today. Food Combining for Health shows how to separate incompatible foods.Explains how the Hay System can alleviate the symptoms of chronic diseases such as arthritis and diabetes, while increasing energy and well-being in those without specific health problems. Includes recipes and seasonal menu suggestions.
