Product Description
Product Description
From the best selling authors of Food Combining for Health and Food Combining For Vegetarians and with a foreword by Doris Grant – this new version of the Food Combining for Health Cookbook is the definitive recipe collection and nutrition guide for food combiners.
Don’t Mix Foods That Fight!
The motto of food combiners is still working for the many thousands of people in the UK now following a food combining diet as popularised by Doris Grant and the hugely successful Thorsons food combining series.
Weight problems – mood swings – allergic reactions – headaches – digestive disorders – skin problems – tiredness and irritability – all these symptoms and many more have been shown to be either eased or irradicated by changing to a food combining diet .
In fact the only problem with a food combining diet is that sometimes, it’s perceived as a bit complicated. The Food Combining For Health Cookbook is designed to be simple. It brings together recipes from the Thorsons collection and includes an easy reference food-type chart so each ingredient can be checked off as Starch, Protein or Alakaline.
Clear, spacious design and layout of recipes
• Over 200 recipes
• Seasonal menu planners
From the Back Cover
Jean Joice, a co-author of the million copy bestseller 'Food Combining For Health' and Jackie Le Tissier, author of 'Food Combining for Vegetarians', have created a definitive recipe collection and nutrition guide for food combiners. And it's easy to follow.
Food Combining can be summed up quite simply – starches and sugars should not be eaten with proteins and acid fruits at the same meal. This way of eating has a positive effect on your health and your weight. Also known as the Hay Diet, the Food Combining system has improved the health and vitality of millions around the world.
Symptoms which are commonly relieved or totally eradicated with the Hay Diet include:

A USEFUL COOKBOOK WHETHER FOLLOWING THE HAY DIET OR NOT......,
By
This review is from: Food Combining for Health Cookbook: Better health and weight loss with the Hay Diet (Paperback)
...most notably, because `in the Hay Kitchen, vegetables are cooked as little as possible to preserve the essential vitamins and flavour`,... and all diets could possibly benefit from this.

Eat loads of delicious food and lose weight!,
By
This review is from: Food Combining for Health Cookbook: Better health and weight loss with the Hay Diet (Paperback)
Food combining changed my life! After years of IBS and fluctuating weight it's all now under control - and I'm eating more than ever!
I admit I don't follow it to the letter but this book helps make it really easy, particularly with sceptical family members who don't like making an effort with the cooking. It doesn't go into detail about the diet but gives you enough to start. Other books will give you the lowdown on why it works but this book helps you put it into practice. I'll say three things about the recipes in this book: 1. They're straightforward and easy to follow - they don't use weird or hard to find ingredients or take hours of preparation. 2. The portions are huge - great when you're a busy, active and greedy person like me! 3.They're delicious - I've tried about 15 so far and every one has been a winner. If you want to lose weight or just to feel healthier without too much fuss, you can't go far wrong with this book.

brilliant way of eating,
This review is from: Food Combining for Health Cookbook: Better health and weight loss with the Hay Diet (Paperback)
Food combining is a brilliant and very very healthy way of eating and losing weight. The book is fantastic, recipies are simple and don't require too much time and almost all of them have been to even my husband's and by baby boy's satisfaction. The diet is based on as much fresh food as possible, and you can feel the benefits even after a few days. The book now comes on holiday with us (if self-catering). After a few months of using the recipies junk food tastes just awful and you wonder why you didn't start this earlier in your life. Even if you don't want to stick to the rules of the diet (which are quite strict e.g. no processed foods at all, no white flour or sugar etc.) the recipies are delicious. Great for entertainment and vegetarian food too.
