(Sorry for the long wait guys, but heres an article I wrote on proper food combining.. enjoy..)
The reason for proper combining:
To make digestion easier and more efficient! Most protein foods require an acid digestion environment for proper digestion; whereas most carbohydrates digest properly in alkaline medium.
Therefore, if we are going to eat more than one food at a meal, we can greatly improve digestion, and avoid indigestion, by eating foods that will require the same gastric juices for digestion and are compatible. Proper combining leads to good digestion and better health. “The simpler the meal the better you feel.” Read more on Food Combining…

The word protein comes from the Greek term meaning “of prime importance”, which indicates its role in nutrition. Protein is the body’s primary building material, making up nearly one fifth of its structure. Since, as part of normal life, body tissue is constantly being lost and damaged (like skin and hair for example), we need a constant supply of protein in our diet to replace this loss. Protein is essential to the metabolic activities of every cell.
There are many popular misconceptions about protein. For example, many people believe that excess protein will not make them fat. In reality a gram of protein contains four calories (the same as carbohydrates or starches) and any excess calories from protein are converted to fat and stored.
