This is a summary of the book description, not medical advice.

What is food combining, and what does the evidence say?

Food combining is the idea that certain foods should be eaten together or apart, for instance starches separately from proteins. Despite its popularity, it rests on belief more than on measured results, and the body digests mixed meals routinely. The NIH detox and cleanse summary from NCCIH says a 2015 review found no compelling research for detox diets.

Claims about energy, hair, skin and “stuck” weight deserve the same scepticism. A two-day plan will not change hair or nails, which grow slowly. A few days of eating more vegetables and fewer processed foods, though, can be a pleasant reset for your habits. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans describes a pattern built around vegetables, fruit, whole grains, protein foods and dairy or alternatives.

Check with your doctor first if you have diabetes, take medication or have a history of disordered eating.
