Do you do any other food combining in your diet?

hi there,
Quite simply, I use fat on my veggies because it tastes good . Fat provides satiety, and is a good source of carb-free caloric energy.
I practised food combining many years ago, and yes, it helped relieve some digestive problems <burp!>. However, with low-carbing I rarely eat grains or starches any more, so don't pay particular attention to how foods are combined. The only thing I make sure to have some protein at every meal or snack.
Food-combining has you keep proteins and starches separate, with fruit consumed alone. Vegetables, fats and fermented milk products (yogourt, kefir) are considered "neutral" and may be consumed with either starch or protein. I *think* there are a few lower-carb programs that incorporate food combining principles ... Montignac and Suzanne Somers spring to mind.
hth,
Doreen
