Cheese product compatibility. Combination of products. Food Compatibility


On the Internet you can find many diagrams and tables on food compatibility, but mostly they are terribly difficult to understand. This leads to the fact that the information is not remembered, which means it does not bring you any benefit! Therefore, I have prepared a convenient and understandable product compatibility diagram so that you understand that everything is very simple! You can save it and use it later as a hint whenever you need it!

I was inspired to write an article about the correct combination of food products by harsh reality) B Lately veganism and raw food nutrition are becoming increasingly popular, and this is good news! However, I see that many people, having switched to a plant-based diet, make the same mistake - they begin to mercilessly mix healthy vegan products with each other, thereby hoping to diversify their diet and get maximum benefits. The goal is good, but the way to achieve it is not!

Mixing foods that do not combine with each other leads to bloating, gas, intestinal upset and other troubles. Remember: “everything that doesn’t fit together rots and ferments.” By the way, often such negative effects are the cause of disappointment in veganism as such. In this case, the erroneous conclusion is drawn that veganism is not suitable for everyone and can lead to health problems. Although in fact, you just need to learn how to combine foods correctly, and digestive problems will disappear and you will be able to enjoy all the delights of a vegan diet!

You need to understand that the wrong combination of foods leads not only to discomfort in the stomach or intestines, but, first of all, to inadequate absorption of the nutrients contained in food. For example, one product may inhibit the absorption of another. And not fully digested food turns into waste, polluting the body and leading to the development of diseases. For example, a dangerous combination of fatty and sweet foods leads to surges in blood sugar and problems with blood vessels...

I would also like to note that chaotic mixing of products is caused not only by banal ignorance about the rules of combination, but also by the desire to prepare “gourmet” dishes like in restaurants. Along with the popularity of veganism, the number of vegan and raw food cafes, as well as groups in in social networks with colorful recipes for plant-based miracle dishes. This is wonderful! But let's stay aware! Not every beautifully presented vegan dish is healthy! Examples of dishes with frankly poor compatibility are: currently popular raw food cheesecakes, banana and orange smoothies, fruit salad, etc.

After reading this article to the end, you will find out what is wrong with these dishes) In the meantime, it is important to understand that cafes and contact groups offer exactly what is in demand and they do not always care about your health. But here you have something to do. That's why know simple rules food combinations are very important! And now I will tell you about them. But first I’ll say this - these rules are important for understanding how digestion works, but I don’t encourage you to fanatically follow them and scold yourself every time you deviate even one step from them! Firstly, listen to your body, sometimes it provides information that is more valuable than simple rules. And secondly, love yourself and allow yourself to sometimes forget about the rules... sometimes... and forget consciously, so that you can remember again later)

Product combination rules and mistakes

Fruits should be eaten separately from everything else, as an independent meal. Or in 30 min. before the main meal.

The reason is that fruits are digested very quickly and pass from the stomach to the intestines. Therefore, if you eat fruit immediately after a long-digesting food (rice, pasta, porridge, dumplings, soup, legumes, vegetable stew, etc.), then the following will happen in your stomach - the fruit will “fall” on top of the dense food and will not be able to quickly move on and they will begin to wander there (due to sugar).

Conclusion - eating fruit as a dessert after a rich, hearty meal is a bad idea! You need to wait 2-4 hours and then start eating the fruit. Or eat fruits in 20-30 minutes. before meals - during this time they will have time to leave the stomach and make way for other food without mixing with it.

Sweet and sour fruits are not compatible with each other! At the same time, both of them combine well with weak sour fruits.

Sweet fruits stay in the stomach longer than sour ones. This is the first thing. Secondly, sour fruits significantly slow down the process of sugars passing through the stomach. That's why fruit salads containing bananas, kiwis, and oranges are a bad idea! The same goes for a banana and orange juice or pineapple smoothie! Much better are the following combinations for smoothies: dates + pear, pineapple + orange + kiwi. For a greater flight of fancy, see the table (fruits from columns 1 and 2 and from columns 2 and 3 are combined):

The avocado fruit is not included in the list, since its properties are not very similar to fruit. The same rules apply to it as for fatty nuts/seeds (see below).

Greens are good with everything, and more of them! And including fruits...

I keep repeating that greens are a super food that goes well with any food and helps neutralize errors in compatibility! Greens can and should be added everywhere - to salads, smoothies, sauce, vegan soups and main courses (at the very end, on a plate, so as not to kill the greens by heat treatment). Use whatever you can - dill, parsley, cilantro, beetroot, spinach, sorrel, lettuce.

My favorite thing to do is add greens to smoothies. It's very tasty and healthy. And this way you can eat a much larger amount of “grass” at a time than in a salad. For example, I make the following smoothies: , . Greens also include green superfoods - spirulina, chlorella, wheat or barley germ powder. They also go with everything and are great to add to smoothies and juices in the winter, when you can’t find fresh greens... For example, smoothies from, from.

Starchy foods do not combine with acid and fats! But they are combined with each other and vegetables without starch.

First, let's define what I mean by starches. These are vegetables with a high starch content (see plate), as well as all grains and legumes (in fact, legumes are also vegetables, but I consider them together with grains, because they are dense and are often used in dishes as an alternative to grains) .

So, starches are broken down by saliva (namely, by the amylase enzyme secreted by saliva), and acidic foods inhibit the release of amylase, thereby slowing down the absorption of starch. Therefore, legumes and lemon are not compatible, just like corn and lemon... Although, I think these are not very popular combinations))) Remember that tomatoes have a lot of acid, so don’t get too carried away with adding them in large quantities to legumes, grains, and potatoes. Yes, yes, potatoes and tomatoes are not the best option. Sometimes you can, but not every day a large portion)

Very often, avocados are classified as starchy fruits and they conclude that avocado and lemon are a bad combination. I do not think so. Yes, most fruits contain negligible amounts of starch, but avocados have a little more. But these are minor things! Compare - an avocado contains only 0.1 g/100 g of starch, while cereals contain 60-70 g, legumes - 40-50 g, fresh corn - 62 g, potatoes - 15 g, etc. Therefore, it’s not scary!

It's the same story with bananas. Banana is considered a very starchy fruit, but in reality it contains about 5 g/100 g of starch. You need to understand that this content is true for a yellow banana without black spots. Which means for an unripe banana. I have written many times that only a dotted banana is ripe and healthy! I even wrote a separate article) The principle here is this: an unripe banana contains a lot of starch, and when ripe, this starch turns into glucose and the banana becomes useful for digestion! Black dots on the peel are a sign that starch is being converted into glucose.

Starches can be combined with each other and with non-starchy vegetables without consequences. For example, the following options:, and, eggplant with beans, etc. Lots of options! The main thing to remember is that no need to add fat to your vegan meals. Otherwise, you can mix any vegetables, grains, legumes in any proportion!!!

Very starchy vegetables should be cooked, and grains and legumes should be sprouted!

You should know that highly starchy vegetables are better digestible after heat treatment. After all, raw starch is poorly absorbed in the human body. And when cooked, it is converted into a simpler form (glucose). That is why boiled or tastier and sweeter raw.

It is better to eat fats with each other or with non-starchy vegetables, but in no case with sugars!

This applies primarily to nuts and seeds, as well as avocado and coconut pulp. Due to their high fat content, these products are difficult to digest. Plus, nuts and seeds contain inhibitory substances that slow down the digestion process. Therefore, they should be eaten in limited quantities and preferably separately from everything else, as a hearty snack. In principle, combinations with sour fruits are allowed, but very carefully with slightly acidic ones. But I don't recommend it.

The most important thing you must remember is don't mix fatty and sweet! From a health point of view this is bad! Firstly, as we already understood, sweet foods, when mixed with fats, cannot quickly pass through the esophagus and be digested. They begin to wander. Secondly, fats from fatty foods enter the bloodstream, then envelop the body with a film. internal walls vessels. It often takes more than a day for the blood to clear this fat! If you eat sweets together with fats or immediately after, then sugar and fat are found in the blood, and this dangerous mix, which interferes with normal metabolism and leads to increased blood sugar levels and imbalance of the entire body. I wrote about this in.

It’s sad, but delicious raw food desserts turn out to be not healthy at all! Cheesecakes are a mixture of huge amounts of fats and sugars. Load on the pancreas, liver, stomach... Sweet candy balls made from nuts and dried fruits are also difficult for digestion. And nut butters and urbechi mixed with bananas or sweet syrups! But no need to be too upset! You need to clearly understand that all these desserts are not the main meal, but a delicacy that you can afford to eat not often, but sometimes. I love it myself. And I eat them, but in moderation, without fanaticism! In any case, they are incomparably better than unhealthy sweets(buttercream cakes, pastries, store-bought cookies, milk chocolate, etc.).

I will add that It is best to eat nuts and seeds after soaking them in water. It is enough to soak for 3-10 hours, or overnight. During this time, the nuts do not have time to germinate, but nevertheless they are saturated with moisture and become easier to digest! In addition, when soaked, nuts release unnecessary harmful substances into the water - fertilizers, pesticides, inhibitors and other chemicals!

Melons and watermelons should be eaten only separately and separately from everything else! The same goes for water.

Melons and watermelons break down the fastest and are recommended to be eaten separately from everything else, without mixing with other foods. If you occasionally mix them with other fruits (for example, at a birthday party), then nothing terrible will happen, but often you don’t need to do this.

You also need to drink water separately from everything else.. Or 15 minutes before meals. If you wash down your meal with water or drink immediately after eating, it slows down the digestion of food and interferes with the effective absorption of nutrients. It’s better to drink water 1.5 hours or more after eating (depending on what you ate and how quickly it can be digested). Monitor the quality of the water, it should be free of harmful impurities. Personally, I drink distilled water and recommend it to you!

Try to eat simple foods. No need to mix too many ingredients!

This is important advice! I noticed that many people like to mix 33 ingredients in one dish, thinking that it tastes better. This is not effective in terms of digestion, even if you only mix foods that go well together. First, the body must be perceived as a factory for converting food into energy. When a product enters the stomach, the factory recognizes what kind of product it is and selects enzymes for it that promote rapid and efficient digestion. Each product has its own enzymes. When a mixture of a large number of products arrives, the body spends energy to recognize what it has got into it. And having recognized it, it releases enzymes. Of course, food will be digested most efficiently if it consists of one ingredient (this is called monoeating). But since we are all gourmets, you don’t have to limit yourself to just one, but I think 3-4 is enough) If more, then please take care of the ideal combination of these products. Otherwise, it will be a colossal burden on the body.

Take breaks between meals, do not “bite” constantly!

The digestive system needs rest. Therefore, there is no need to use it without interruption) Remember that even one eaten banana or a couple of nuts is also food that fully starts the digestion processes (enzymes begin to be released, insulin is released into the blood, etc.). Therefore, constant snacking is not good! It is better to have 1-2 full snacks (until you feel full) than 4-5 small snacks. The body in this regard is similar to a car engine. If you constantly drive at high speeds, the engine will quickly wear out. Take care of your body, we only have one)))

And in conclusion I suggest a list of harmful foods that are best excluded from the diet altogether. They themselves are not beneficial for digestion and health in general:

  • Alcohol
  • Caffeine (coffee, tea). By the way, green tea contains more caffeine than black tea and is not much lower than coffee. Read about it in.
  • Vinegar
  • Yeast
  • Animal protein
  • Mayonnaise, margarine (trans fats)
  • Salt, white sugar, white flour
  • Heated vegetable oil (releases carcinogens).

conclusions

So, you need to remember the golden rules of product compatibility:

  1. Fruits are eaten in 20-30 minutes. before meals. Immediately after eating - do not eat!
  2. Sweet and sour fruits should not be mixed in one meal
  3. Eat as much greenery as possible. It goes with everything!
  4. Products containing starch should not be mixed with fats and acids.
  5. Starchy vegetables are best boiled/stewed.
  6. If possible, grains should be sprouted or at least soaked
  7. Nuts and seeds need to be soaked before eating.
  8. Do not combine fats with sugars
  9. Melons and watermelons should not be mixed with anything.
  10. Drink water separately from meals (15 minutes before meals or 1.5-2 hours after).
  11. It is better to drink distilled water.
  12. Don't mix too many foods at one meal
  13. Take breaks between meals, give digestive system relax.
  14. Frankly harmful products(junk food) completely eliminated from the diet

This is a list of the most important advice by food combination. What everyone should know) I hope you found something useful in this article that you didn’t know before. I tried to remember everything that I know and remember myself. I wish you easy digestion and good health. Eat healthy vegan food and combine it wisely!

  • Big role for good digestion and reducing intoxication of the body from the processes of rotting and fermentation in the stomach and intestines plays the right combination of foods consumed at one time. The fact is that for each type of food, digestive juices of a certain composition are secreted, which contribute to the most efficient digestion of this product. With a mixed diet, food combinations often arise when one type of food interferes with the absorption of another.
    Herbert Shelton wrote: “We get no benefit from food that is not digestible. Eating and at the same time spoiling food in digestive tract- waste of food. But even worse - spoiled food leads to the formation of poisons that are very harmful... An astonishing number of cases food allergies disappears completely when patients learn to eat food in the right combinations. Such people suffer not from allergies, but from indigestion of food. Allergy is a term applied to protein poisoning. Abnormal digestion carries into the bloodstream not nutrients, and poisons.
    Below is the classification food products with instructions on correct and incorrect combinations. All products are divided into 10 groups.

    Instructions for use of the table of compatible products

    Don't try to remember everything at once valid combinations products.
    Write down (or remember) all the types of products that you personally usually eat or use in cooking. And it is within this list that you create your own compatibility “table”. If you find that some combinations were incompatible, modify those recipes or food combinations. As a result, you should end up with a menu that is not too different from your usual diet. In the future, it will be easy for you to add new components to it by checking the main table.

    Group 1. Sweet fruits

    Bananas, dates, persimmons, figs, all dried fruits.
    They go perfectly with each other (bananas with figs), with semi-acidic fruits (persimmon with apple) and with fermented milk products (dates with curdled milk).
    It is acceptable to combine with nuts, milk, moderately starchy and starchy vegetables, herbs and non-starchy vegetables.
    When combined with all other products, they cause fermentation.
    Note
    All fruits are very healthy if consumed as an independent food. Fruits and fruit juices should not be consumed as dessert. It is better to drink juices half an hour - an hour before meals.

    Group 2. Semi-acidic fruits

    Apricots, mangoes, watermelons, melons, blueberries, blueberries;
    sweet to taste: apples, pears, grapes, cherries, plums, peaches, etc. Tomatoes belong to the same group in terms of their properties.

    Combinations with other protein products are harmful (apples with meat, apricots with eggs).
    When combined with starches (grape juice with bread) and semi-starchy vegetables (plum with pumpkin), they cause fermentation.
    Note
    Melon, blueberries and blueberries are incompatible with any other product. They are perfectly digestible if they are eaten not in addition to food, but as food (or in small quantity one hour before meals).

    Group 3. Sour fruits

    It is acceptable to combine with fruit.
    Cannot be consumed with milk.
    Group 5. Moderately starchy vegetables
    Beets, turnips, rutabaga, carrots, seaweed, zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, green peas.
    They go well with starches (zucchini with bread), non-starchy vegetables (green peas with cucumber), fats (carrots with sour cream), and herbs.
    It is acceptable to combine with fermented milk products (kefir with carrots), cheese, cottage cheese, nuts, seeds.
    Compounds with proteins (eggplant with meat, green peas with eggs), sugars (pumpkin with jam), fruits (turnip with banana), and milk are harmful.
    Group 6. Starchy foods
    Wheat, rye, oats and products made from them; cereals; buckwheat, millet, pearl barley, rice; potatoes, chestnuts, etc.
    Ideal with greens (bread and salad), non-starchy vegetables (potatoes and cabbage) and moderately starchy vegetables (porridge with pumpkin).
    It is permissible to combine different types starches with each other (pasta with bread) and starchy foods with fats (porridge with butter). However, combinations of different starches are not recommended for people prone to obesity. When eating starchy foods with fats, it is advisable to also eat some greens or non-starchy vegetables.
    With a big stretch, combinations with cheese, nuts, and seeds are allowed.
    Combinations of starches with animal proteins are very harmful, incl. with milk (bread with potatoes, potatoes with fish), with sugars (porridge with sugar, bread with jam), with any fruit (potatoes with apple, bread with grapes).
    Note
    Mushrooms in any form, sauerkraut and other pickles (cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.) are well compatible with potatoes and not well with bread.

    Group 7. Protein products

    Meat, fish, eggs, cottage cheese, cheeses, milk, curdled milk, kefir, etc.; dry beans, beans and peas, nuts (except peanuts), sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
    Ideally combined with greens (cheese with salad) and non-starchy vegetables (fish with cucumber).

    It is unacceptable to combine two types of proteins (meat with cheese), proteins with starchy foods (eggs with bread, meat with porridge), proteins with sugars (eggs with sugar), proteins with sweet fruits (fish with banana).
    It is also undesirable to combine proteins with fats (meat with sour cream), with sour fruits and with semi-acidic fruits (egg with apple).
    Exceptions. Fat cottage cheese, cheeses, nuts, and seeds can be combined with sour and semi-acidic fruits and berries (cottage cheese with apple).
    Milk can be combined with sweet and semi-acidic fruits and berries (milk with figs).

    Ideally combined with greens (salad with sour cream), non-starchy vegetables (cucumbers with cream) and moderately starchy vegetables (zucchini with butter).
    Combinations with starches (bread and butter) are acceptable, but in this case it is advisable to also consume greens or non-starchy vegetables.
    Compounds with animal proteins (eggs with sour cream), with fruits (apples with sour cream), with sugars (cream with sugar, confectionery) are harmful.

    Group 10. Sahara

    White and yellow sugar, honey, jam, syrups.
    It is best consumed separately from other foods, an hour to an hour and a half before meals. When combined with proteins, starches and fats, sugars cause fermentation. That's why you can't eat desserts.
    In principle, combinations of sugars with herbs and non-starchy vegetables are acceptable.
    Note
    Honey is an exception to general rule. In moderation, it is compatible with all foods except animal foods.

    What is separate nutrition?
    All food products are divided into three groups: proteins, plant food and carbohydrates. IN gastrointestinal tract plant foods can digest themselves. Proteins are broken down mainly by acidic reagents. Carbohydrates - alkaline reagents. There are also fats, but they are combined with both proteins and carbohydrates.

    The logic of separate nutrition is to divide the tables into protein and carbohydrate. The carbohydrate table includes foods whose main components are carbohydrates (flour, sweets, cereals, potatoes, cereals).
    Product classification
    The main protein food of the animal and plant origin: meat, poultry, fish and all products made from them, cottage cheese and fermented milk products, milk, cheese, eggs, legumes, nuts. Products rich in starch: bread and all flour products, cereals, potatoes.
    Meat, poultry, fish. For all types of meat, the combination with green and non-starchy vegetables is favorable, because... this combination neutralizes harmful properties animal proteins, helps digest them and remove excess cholesterol from the blood.
    Separate meals in the family
    If you want to change your family's eating habits, do so very carefully and do not be too harsh on your family members. Don't think that all the happiness in life lies in separate meals. Always allow for some alternative. Eating should be healthy, but this does not require being harsh towards others. It is quite possible to first switch to separate meals yourself, and by your example, by your excellent health, inspire the rest of the members...
    Eating healthy is fun
    All food products must be fresh and not contain harmful substances and remain as natural as possible. Less is more - this proverb can serve as a guide for a balanced and healthy eating. Pay attention to a few basic rules: In an ideal diet, a person gets mainly carbohydrates from vegetables, fruits and whole grains, enough protein and little fat.
    The right combination of foods (according to Herbert Shelton)
    Never eat carbohydrate and acidic foods in the same meal.
    Never eat concentrated protein and concentrated carbohydrate at the same time (meat with noodles, fish with bread, etc.).
    Never eat two concentrated proteins at the same time.
    Do not eat fats with proteins (cream with meat, butter with cheese, etc.).
    Don't eat sour fruits with proteins.
    Separate meals for those who work in the office
    For those who work in an office, it is often very difficult to stick to a daily eating schedule. They often do not have enough time to buy fresh food and take anything with them to work. As a result, you have to be content with light snacks and semi-finished products
    Carbohydrate table
    Includes products whose main components are carbohydrates (flour, sweets, cereals, potatoes, cereals). This is the so-called energy kitchen. It is quickly digested. carbohydrates and plant foods should form the basis of daily nutrition.
    Protein table
    Includes protein-containing foods (meat, fish, eggs, nuts). For the normal functioning of the body, the presence of proteins is necessary. But when fed separately, they are completely digested, so their quantity can be reduced to a minimum.

    Meat, poultry, fish.
    It is better to eat lean meat, poultry and fish. When cooking, remove all visible fat. Meat and fish go well with green and non-starchy vegetables, because this combination neutralizes the harmful properties of animal proteins, helps them digest and remove excess cholesterol from the blood. The combination of animal proteins with alcohol causes great harm.

    Pulses (beans, peas, lentils, etc.)
    Pulses go well with vegetable fats, sour cream, herbs and starchy vegetables.

    Vegetable oil.
    Vegetable oil is a highly beneficial product if consumed in unrefined form.

    Sugar, confectionery.
    Sugar and confectionery should be consumed in limited quantities or avoided altogether. All sugars inhibit production gastric juice. Neither saliva nor gastric juice are needed to digest them: they are absorbed directly in the intestines. If sweets are eaten with other foods, they cause fermentation in the stomach. The result is sour belching and heartburn. Honey does not belong to this category of sugars, because. This is a product already processed by the digestive apparatus of bees. Honey is absorbed into the blood 20 minutes after consumption, without loading the liver and all other body systems.

    Bread, cereals, potatoes.
    Starch is an extremely difficult to digest product, so all foods rich in starch should always be treated with great care. You should not combine animal proteins with starchy foods - this is the main rule of separate nutrition. Bread is considered a separate food, and not a mandatory addition to every meal. However, bread made from unrefined, whole grains can be eaten with various salads, regardless of their composition.

    Sour fruits, tomatoes.
    Sour fruits include citrus fruits and pomegranates, and all others are to taste. Tomatoes also belong to this category of products due to their high content of acids - citric, malic, oxalic.

    Sweet fruits, dried fruits.
    Their combination with dairy products and nuts is acceptable, but in small quantities, because it's hard on digestion. But better fruit(sour and sweet) in general it is better not to mix with anything, because... they are absorbed in the intestines. You need to eat them at least 15-20 minutes before eating. This rule should be especially strict in relation to watermelons and melons. Melon should generally be eaten separately from other foods.

    Vegetables are green and non-starchy.
    These include the tops of all edible plants (parsley, dill, celery, radish tops, beets), lettuce, wild “table” herbs, as well as white cabbage, green and onion, garlic, cucumbers, eggplants, bell peppers, green peas. Radishes, rutabaga, radishes and turnips are "semi-starchy" vegetables that, when combined with various products They are more likely to be green and non-starchy.

    Vegetables are starchy.
    This category includes: beets, carrots, potatoes, horseradish, parsley and celery roots, pumpkin, zucchini and squash, cauliflower. The combination of these vegetables with sugar causes strong fermentation; other combinations are acceptable.

    Milk.
    Milk is a separate food, not a drink. Once in the stomach, the milk must curdle under the influence of acidic juices. If there is other food in the stomach, then the milk particles envelop it, isolating it from the gastric juice. And until the curdled milk is digested, the food remains unprocessed, rots, and the digestion process is delayed.

    Cottage cheese, fermented milk products.
    Cottage cheese is a difficult-to-digest complete protein. Products that are homogeneous with sour milk (sour cream, cheese, feta cheese) are compatible.

    Cheese, feta cheese.
    The most acceptable cheeses are young cheeses of the homemade type, i.e. something between cottage cheese and cheese. Processed cheeses are an unnatural product, significantly processed. Bryndza is a healthy protein product, which, however, requires soaking in cold water from excess salt.

    Eggs.
    This is a protein product that is not very easily digested. You can combine them with green and non-starchy vegetables, this will neutralize the harm from the high cholesterol content in the yolk.

    Nuts.
    Due to their rich fat content, nuts are similar to cheese. However, cheese contains animal fats, and nuts are easily digestible vegetable fats.

    The product compatibility table is the basis of the separate power supply system. It consists of sixteen lines - product categories that can be combined in different ways. Good compatibility is marked with a “+” sign, and bad compatibility with a “-” sign. The sign "0" means that such a combination is allowed.

    Using the table is simple - you select the product category in the first column, and then the number of the other product in the top line. Everything is simple, as in the Pythagorean table.

    The first column is the most important, since it is here that it is easiest to violate product compatibility rules. The nature of the food determines the composition of the enzymes released for its processing. So, to digest meat you need the strongest juice; it is released in the first hour of digestion. For bread - after 3 hours, and for milk - in the last hour. In addition, the strength of the juice and its acidity, and, consequently, the activity of the stomach glands and the speed of digestion vary depending on the quality of the food. Animal proteins are the most difficult to digest food.


    Meat, fish, poultry should be lean. When processing these foods, all external fat must be removed. For all types of meat, the combination with green and non-starchy vegetables is favorable, because... This combination neutralizes the harmful properties of animal proteins, helps them digest and remove excess cholesterol from the blood (calorizer). The combination of animal proteins with alcohol causes great harm, because... alcohol precipitates pepsin, which is necessary for the digestion of animal proteins. The combination of meat with related animal proteins, such as milk, eggs, cottage cheese, cheese... is negative, because each of them requires special digestive secretions and different processing times, so mixing them is not recommended. This is what the authors of the separate nutrition system say, and this is what is harshly criticized by the scientific community.

    Pulses are beans, beans, soybeans, peas, lentils, etc. These foods are complex carbohydrates, but contain large amounts of protein. And therefore they require a lot of attention when combined with other products. The compatibility of grain legumes with other products is explained by their dual nature. Like starches, they go well with fats, especially those that are easy to digest - vegetable oil and sour cream, and as a source of vegetable protein they are good with herbs and starchy vegetables. They cannot be excluded from the diet, as they are a source of vegetable protein rich in amino acids, vitamins and minerals.

    For their good absorption, you need an abundance of green and non-starchy vegetables, since they themselves contain a lot of fat, which is difficult for digestion. Logically, it is possible to combine butter and cheese, but from a dietary point of view, a large amount of fat in one meal is not advisable.

    Although sour cream is a fat, its caloric content is three times less than that of vegetable oil. Those losing weight on a separate nutrition system can add it to their dishes, combine it with grains and legumes, vegetables, sour fruits and fermented milk products.

    Vegetable oil is a very healthy product if it is consumed raw and unrefined. It is logical to use it in combination with vegetables, but combining it with sugar, cottage cheese, milk... would never even occur to anyone. Therefore, use it in salads for your health, just remember that it is a high-calorie product.

    As for sugar and confectionery, they should be avoided. All sugars inhibit the secretion of gastric juice. If sweets are eaten with other foods, then lingering in the stomach for a long time, they very soon cause fermentation in it and, in addition, reduce the mobility of the stomach. Sour belching and heartburn are the results of this process. This is why it is not recommended to feed children porridge with syrup, sugar and jam. Sugars also lead to gastritis, constipation, and poison the body, causing constant fermentation in the digestive tract. And if food rots and ferments in the body, then it does not give off its calories and does not provide the body with minerals and vitamins.

    These are foods called starches or carbohydrates. All products rich in starch should always be treated with great attention, since starch itself, in pure form, is a difficult to digest product. The ban on combining animal proteins with starchy foods is the first and, perhaps, the most important law of separate nutrition, which for decades has not found scientific confirmation. The authors and followers of the separate nutrition system believe that the first stages of digestion of protein and starchy foods occur in different environments: proteins need an acidic environment, and starch needs an alkaline environment. Nature doesn't make sandwiches, which means they can't be healthy. But somehow nature produced peanuts, chickpeas and beans that contain both proteins and starches.


    At the same time, bread is considered a separate meal (for example, with butter), and not a mandatory addition to every meal. However, bread made from unrefined, whole grains can be eaten with a variety of salads, regardless of their composition.

    Tomatoes are included in this section because they contain high content acids: citric, malic and oxalic. That is why, in terms of compatibility with other products, they are adjacent to sour fruits, such as: oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, pineapples, pomegranates, lemons, cranberries, sour in taste: apples, pears, plums, apricots, grapes.

    It is better not to combine fruits (both sour and sweet) with anything, since they are absorbed in the intestines (you need to eat them at least 15-20 minutes before eating). It is known what a huge role fruits play in the functioning of the body as natural vitamins and minerals. Their combination with milk and nuts is acceptable, but in small quantities, as it is difficult for digestion.

    Nutritionists give the green light to all green and non-starchy vegetables. They go well with almost all foods, and in villages they often drink milk with cucumber without any harm to digestion (calorizator). This category includes the tops of all edible plants (parsley, dill, celery, radish tops, beets), lettuce, wild “table” herbs, as well as white cabbage, green and onions, garlic, cucumbers, eggplants, bell peppers, green pea. Radishes, rutabaga, radishes and turnips are “semi-starchy” vegetables, which, in combination with various products, are more likely to be green and non-starchy.

    Starchy vegetables are the best addition to starchy foods. However, the combination of these vegetables with sugar causes strong fermentation; other combinations are either good or acceptable. This category includes: beets, carrots, horseradish, parsley and celery roots, pumpkin, zucchini and squash, cauliflower.

    Milk is a separate food, not a drink. It contains calories, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. All cubs in nature are fed with milk, but note that they do not take any more food. And if in the animal world milk disappears from the diet naturally, then in humans – people over the years lose the ability to digest lactose. According to the rules of separate nutrition, milk does not go well with anything, but its combination with starchy vegetables and sweet fruits is acceptable.

    Cottage cheese must be combined with other foods with caution, as it is a difficult-to-digest complete protein (milk casein). Products homogeneous with milk, such as sour cream, cheese, cottage cheese, are compatible with it due to their similarity. Sweet fruits, vegetables and nuts are also combined with cottage cheese.

    Nutritionists treat cheeses with caution due to their high salinity. The most acceptable cheeses are young cheeses of the homemade type, i.e. something between cottage cheese and cheese. As for feta cheese, it is a healthy protein product, which, however, requires soaking in cold water to remove excess salt. Salt in the diet of someone losing weight retains water in the body and thereby masks weight loss.

    Cheeses and feta cheese are a combination of protein and fat in almost equal parts, which slows down the process of decomposition of food in the stomach. They go well with sour fruits and tomatoes. Cottage cheese and fermented milk products are homogeneous with cheese, so they are quite compatible. Processed cheese is an unnatural product, significantly processed, so it is difficult for the body to process, although it is much better than sausage.

    This is a protein product that is not easy to digest. Accordingly, its use is recommended in limited quantities.

    But considering the egg as a separate product, it must be said that in its own way nutritional value it is one of the most healthy products in the human diet, which is simply necessary for a healthy and nutritious diet.

    Considering the benefits chicken egg, note that it contains:

    • lutein and zeaxanthin (prevent the development of cataracts);
    • vitamin A (supports immunity);
    • vitamin D (helps strengthen bone tissue);
    • vitamin B12 (ensures healthy functioning of red blood cells);
    • vitamin B6 (prevents the development of anemia);
    • vitamin E (fights cell dysfunction);
    • sodium (participates in the mineral metabolism of the human body).

    Nuts are easily digestible vegetable fats. They are combined with sour fruits, vegetables, and fermented milk products. But you should be careful with nuts, since they are one of the most high-calorie foods.

    To eat according to the rules of separate nutrition, you need to know which foods belong to which groups: starchy and non-starchy, sour and sweet, etc. Carefully study the compatibility table and product classification.

    Separate nutrition often helps to lose weight excess weight, put your appearance in order, become much more beautiful and attractive. In addition, if you take into account the compatibility of products, you can even improve your health. Let's take a closer look at the essence of separate nutrition for weight loss, its principles and menu.

    Separate nutrition is often used for excess weight, gastritis, kidney, liver and stomach diseases, or ulcers.
    Principles of separate nutrition:

    1. The entire list of products must be divided into groups. Thanks to this, it is possible to successfully determine the compatibility of products with each other;
    2. When preparing dishes, it is recommended to use minimal heat treatment of products in order to preserve as much as possible all the beneficial substances and vitamins;
    3. It is important to eat protein foods four hours after eating carbohydrate foods and vice versa;
    4. Products that belong to the neutral group are compatible with proteins and carbohydrates;
    5. It is forbidden to enjoy semi-finished products, canned food, and refined products;
    6. To quench your thirst for sweets, you are allowed to enjoy only honey;
    7. Milk must be consumed separately from all dishes as food, not a drink;
    8. It is allowed to eat bread made from wholemeal flour.

    For the assimilation of proteins, it is important to create an acidic environment, and for carbohydrates - an alkaline one. If you eat proteins and carbohydrates together, a conflict arises between incompatible products, due to which digestion occurs more slowly, harmful substances begin to accumulate, body fat and salts in the human body.

    Separate meals are based on what food a person eats, not how much.

    Positive aspects of separate power supply:

    1. All eaten dishes are completely absorbed without causing fermentation and rotting in the human body;
    2. Metabolism improves, intestines begin to work better;
    3. By eliminating the use large quantity food starts the process of losing weight;
    4. The functioning of the cardiovascular system is improved;
    5. A person can independently create a menu, taking into account the compatibility of products;
    6. A person is determined to eat wholesome and healthy food.

    Except positive aspects Separate meals also have disadvantages. In the winter season, it is difficult to maintain separate meals for the purpose of losing weight, since it is not always possible to find the necessary fresh products in stores.

    Changing the usual diet to a separate one, a person often experiences hunger. Therefore, the transition to such a power system is difficult.

    In order to lose weight, while following the system of eating meals in groups, it is recommended to stop eating crackers, flour products, ice cream, sweets, chips, sparkling water, oils, margarine, dairy products, and sausages.

    Full product compatibility is described in a table that can be found on the Internet. Features of combining certain products for the purpose of losing weight:

    • Meat, poultry and fish are combined with any green and non-starchy vegetables;
    • It is recommended to take any vegetables, dried and sweet fruits, nuts, sour cream, salty cheese with fermented milk products and cottage cheese;
    • Milk is prohibited from being consumed with other products;
    • Sour cream can be eaten with potatoes, sour fruits and tomatoes, any vegetables, cottage cheese, grains and dairy products;
    • Cheeses can be added to cottage cheese, fermented milk products, any vegetables, sour fruits and tomatoes;

    • A harmonious combination of vegetable oil with grain products, legumes, any vegetables, sour fruits, tomatoes and nuts;
    • Eggs can be added to non-starchy and green vegetables;

    • Cereals and legumes go harmoniously with vegetables, vegetable oil and sour cream;
    • It is recommended to add oil to cereals, pasta, spread it on bread, and also season potatoes with it.

    The described combination of products will help you create the ideal menu for weight loss. If you cannot create your own approximate diet, contact an experienced nutritionist for help.

    There is also a table of product combinations according to groups.

    Sweet fruits are recommended to be consumed separately from other foods. It is best to eat them an hour before a meal or three hours after a meal. Under no circumstances are sweet fruits suitable as dessert. It is also useful to drink a glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice an hour before meals. Strawberries can be eaten with sour cream.

    To digest vegetables, you need to eat proteins and carbohydrates. They should not be consumed with milk or fruit.

    Protein foods should be eaten with vegetables and herbs. You can also enjoy animal proteins and fats.

    Greens go with any food. It just can’t be eaten with dairy dishes.

    Fats of vegetable and animal origin can be added to vegetables and herbs.

    Eat sugar, honey and jam separately from other dishes. If they are eaten immediately after eating, the process of food fermentation starts.

    Dividing dishes into groups for the purpose of losing weight allows you to become slimmer by 4 - 10 kilograms in 10 - 20 days.

    While following the diet, it is prohibited to drink alcohol, carbonated water, or consume White bread, flour products and sweets.

    For diet to lead to the best result, it is recommended to play sports and perform special physical exercises.

    Sample menu for a week for weight loss:

    1. In the first two days you need to enjoy milk or kefir, tomato juice(one glass), black bread (several slices). These ingredients should be divided into two meals: breakfast and dinner;
    2. On the third and fourth days, it is recommended to feast on protein foods. Have breakfast with coffee or tea, a slice of black bread with butter and honey.

    Now you know what the essence of separate nutrition is, what foods you can eat, what a menu can be to achieve harmony. It is important to follow nutritional guidelines to achieve your goals.

    For the first time, the idea of ​​compatibility and incompatibility of food products came to the mind of Herbert Sheldon. Years of research helped him identify the enzymes that are necessary to digest certain foods and develop such a popular diet as separate meals. A table that clearly demonstrates all the principles of the system is an easy way to adhere to this nutritional system.

    An undoubted advantage is that this system can be used for a long time. If you don't want to go hungry, skip meals and eat monotonous food, choose a diet of separate meals. The table below clearly demonstrates how varied your diet will be.

    Despite numerous criticism, all nutritionists recognize the benefits of separate nutrition. Compatibility tables help normalize your diet and make it more balanced. Moreover, such a regime helps a person stick to a diet from a psychological point of view. Having rules, but at the same time being able to create your own menu, is a great opportunity to learn healthy eating skills and lose excess weight.

    So, you have chosen separate meals. The product compatibility table is as follows. Products located in opposite columns have perfect compatibility. They can be safely used together. Other combinations are contraindicated, as they cause discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract and are poorly digested, causing the deposition of excess fat.

    Hello, dear readers of my blog! While studying information about proper nutrition, I repeatedly came across the concept of “Food Compatibility Chart for proper nutrition" I decided to familiarize myself with the basics of separate nutrition, understand food groups and learn how to combine them.

    The main ideologist of the compatibility (incompatibility) of products is Herbert Shelton. He conducted research for several years and identified the enzymes involved in the digestion of food. This allowed him to think through and implement the concept of separate nutrition according to Shelton. Its basics are perfectly demonstrated by the product compatibility table.

    So, what is a table and how to use it? Seventeen cells horizontally, seventeen vertically. The most popular products are listed here. For convenience, they are numbered. Each number has a corresponding column.

    A certain color at the intersection of a row and a column indicates the level of compatibility:

    • Yellow – combined at an acceptable level;
    • Green – combine well;
    • Red – they don’t combine well.

    So that you finally understand the principle of working with a table, I will give an example. Bread and meat - can they be served on one dish and consumed in one meal? Bread - number 7. Meat - number 1. Let's see what color is at the intersection of row No. 7 and column No. 1 - red. Consequently, they do not combine well, which means a lot of time will be spent on digesting them.

    For convenience, I recommend downloading the product compatibility table and placing it in a visible place. So you can't go wrong with correct selection components for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Look at the “color” of compatibility and adjust the menu.

    I won't tell you about products such as eggs or vegetable oil. Everything is clear here. But let’s call them generalized groups, which consist of several products at once; I propose to talk separately.

    Meat, fish, poultry- These are proteins of animal origin and a group of the most difficult to digest foods. It is better to cook them without fat. They go well with green and non-starchy vegetables. Worse with starchy foods, incompatible with bread, cereals, potatoes. Let me remind you that you cannot drink alcohol with animal proteins.

    Sample menu:

    • Baked chicken with stewed carrot and cauliflower puree
    • Fish cutlets with salad of iceberg leaves, arugula, radish
    • Veal soup with celery, leeks, carrots

    Pulses– this includes lentils, beans, beans, peas, soybeans. But this does not include green peas and green beans. Pulses are capricious and are well compatible with herbs and vegetables (starchy and non-starchy).

    Sample menu:

    • Chickpea salad with steamed pumpkin, carrots, pumpkin seed oil dressing
    • Lentil cutlets with white cabbage salad, dill, olive oil dressing
    • Beans stewed with cauliflower, carrots, celery

    Bread, cereals, potatoes– oats, wheat, rye, buckwheat, rice, millet. Of course, potatoes, bread. Pairs well with herbs and vegetables.

    Sample menu:

    • Potatoes stewed with eggplants, bell pepper, carrots, onions
    • Toasts with aromatic green butter (for this you need to mix butter with a fat content of at least 80% with basil, chili pepper, parsley)
    • Green buckwheat with baked beet salad, garlic, sesame oil dressing

    Sour fruits, tomatoes– these are grapefruits, tangerines, oranges, lemons, pineapple, cranberries, pomegranates, grapes, sour apples. Plus tomatoes, so beloved by many gourmets. They combine most successfully with vegetables, cheese, and nuts.

    Sample menu:

    • Smoothie made from green apples, spinach, lemon juice
    • Baked apples with nuts and cinnamon
    • Caprese salad

    Semi-acidic fruits– raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, wild strawberries, sweet apples, apricots, plums, peaches, cherries.

    Sample menu:

    • Freshly squeezed grapefruit and orange juice
    • Fruit salad of apples, strawberries, blueberries
    • Ice cream made from frozen berries, flavored with cinnamon and a dash of honey.

    Sweet fruits, dried fruits– bananas, persimmons, figs, dates, raisins.

    Sample menu:

    • Banana, date, almond milk smoothie
    • Prunes stuffed with hazelnuts and honey
    • Dried fruits compote

    Vegetables are green and non-starchy– parsley, celery, dill, beet tops, radishes, lettuce. This also includes white cabbage, onions, green onions, eggplants, cucumbers, garlic, bell peppers, and green peas.

    Sample menu:

    • Salad of radishes, cucumbers, dill, white cabbage with sunflower oil dressing
    • Eggplant baked with tomatoes, cheese, garnished with basil
    • Soup from cabbage, celery, carrots, garlic, bell pepper

    Starchy vegetables– carrots, beets, zucchini, horseradish, squash, pumpkin, cauliflower, celery root, parsley. This group of products also includes turnips, radishes, radishes, and rutabaga.

    Sample menu:

    • Oven-baked carrots with pumpkin, seasoned with pumpkin seeds, olive oil
    • Zucchini spaghetti with pesto sauce
    • Cauliflower puree soup

    I would also like to say something about melon. It doesn't go with anything. It must be eaten separately, as an independent dish.

    Compatibility of products for proper nutrition is also very important for losing weight. This is not a diet, this is special approach, which takes into account how one product combines with another. See how the real inhabitants of nature - animals - behave. They do not combine different foods. They don’t fry it or process it. Only a person carries out a lot of manipulations with food before it enters his stomach. This can cause bloating, heartburn or nausea. The problem is that the products are not digested. But they are not assimilated because they do not fit together. The simpler the food, the less processed it is, the fewer different components it contains, the easier it is for the body. When there are no such problems, the excess weight goes away by itself.

    Therefore, all you have to do is be more vigilant about cooking and eat only compatible foods at one meal.

    Olesya: By changing my diet and starting to cook using the compatibility table, I lost weight from 65 kg to 53 kg. Plus shaping twice a week. I hung a table in the kitchen and cook according to it. It’s difficult at first, but then I got used to it.

    Elena: This is already the second week since I switched to separate meals. 5 kg are already gone. I decided to switch to this diet not to lose weight, but to have stomach problems. The heaviness went away, and after eating the lightness.

    Alexandra: I didn’t suffer from excess weight, I ate separately. And after giving birth, everything changed. I didn’t have enough time to cook, I ate everything in a row, and gained 12 kilos. Only after 1.5 years I decided to pull myself together. With separate meals, I forgot not only the problems with the gastrointestinal tract, but also the extra pounds.

    There are people who believe that separate meals and cooking according to the food compatibility table are harmful. They make the following arguments:

    Below in the comments see the opinion of a gastroenterologist

    I really like to repeat that only the body itself will help you determine the right type of nutrition.

    With this separate diet, my sister-in-law lost 9 kilograms. Well, and shaping 3 times a week. That's the whole secret. I hung this sign over the kitchen table and every time I needed to cook, I turned to it. And in order not to overeat, I bought a simple kitchen scale to weigh dishes.

    He says it was difficult at first. It took me a week to get used to the new diet. The sign helped her be more disciplined. In 3 months I dropped from 64 kilos to 53. I changed my entire wardrobe to size 42. And she began to look much younger. Here's the story.

    To help everyone who wants to lose weight. At the same time, do not torture yourself with a hunger strike, chewing one cucumber per day and washing it down with water. I recommend reading the book “Diet for Gourmets. Nutrition plan from Dr. Kovalkov." This is one of the well-known nutritionists in RuNet. I ordered one myself and am now sorting out the recipes. In fact, they are very simple and easy to prepare. And with our Russian products. I recommend.

    By the way, here is a video of him:

    Be sure to focus on your well-being. Well, if in doubt, then consult a competent doctor. Get tested and make sure everything goes smoothly and without health consequences.

    I say see you soon, dear readers! And good plumbing to you. And subscribe to new articles. I will continue to study the topic of proper nutrition.

    Sincerely, Olga Sologub

    Everyone knows the dangers of self-medication without consulting a doctor. But rarely does anyone think about the dangers of switching to a special diet without consulting a nutritionist. There is an opinion that separate nutrition is beneficial for the body in any case. But in fact, in order to do this, you need to know the rules for combining products - without this, the entire system will not function correctly, and sometimes even on the contrary - it will cause harm, not benefit.

    Combination of foods for separate meals

    Separate nutrition is not a game; it has its dangers. And knowing the combination of products with this system will provide the main thing: it will protect you from the unexpected consequences of trying to improve your health and switch to the right regime.

    • Sweet fruits (banana, persimmon, figs, dates, dried fruits). Remains in the stomach longer than sour ones. They need to be eaten before eating; they are quickly digested and do not linger in the stomach. If you eat it afterwards, the fermentation process will begin simply in the stomach. Sweet fruits are combined with the same or half sour fruits, as well as cream, sour cream, milk and other fermented milk products.
    • Semi-acidic fruits (blueberries, mangoes, strawberries, apples, raspberries, pears, grapes, apricots, peach). Combine with sweet and sour fruits, fermented milk products and protein foods - cheese, nuts. Semi-acidic fruits are not compatible with eggs or fish. Mushrooms, legumes, and starchy foods in general also fall under the taboo.
    • Sour fruits (tangerine, orange, grapefruit, pineapple, pomegranate, lemon, etc.). Compatible with fermented milk, but in principle cannot be combined with animal proteins, legumes, and vegetables.
    • Vegetables. Cucumbers, cabbage (not cauliflower), sweet peppers, radishes, beans, garlic, carrots, lettuce go well with any cereal, but you cannot combine them with milk. Cauliflower, late zucchini, green peas, eggplant, and squash do not go well together. Good combinations with starchy foods, bread, fats. Not compatible with animal proteins, milk, fruits.
    • Starchy foods are combined with vegetables and fats. Do not combine with fruits, sugars, or jams.
    • Protein food. Meat, fish, cheese, kefir, beans, peas, nuts and other representatives of the protein category are combined with vegetables - the latter help to process protein.
    • It is better to consume milk warmed up and separately from everything else. Protein can be combined with fats, animal with animal, vegetable with vegetable. Do not combine with starches and fruits, exceptions are cottage cheese, cheese, nuts, and fermented milk. products
    • Greens are an all-rounder, compatible with almost all categories, the only exception being milk.
    • Fats. Combine with vegetables, herbs, starches. Slows down the secretion of gastric juice if consumed at the beginning of a meal. Not compatible with sugars.
    • Sugars (jam, fructose, honey, brown sugar). Consuming sweets in a separate meal, in combination with others causes fermentation and decomposition. The only exception is honey - it can be consumed with any food, it cannot be combined only with food of animal origin and cannot be heated.
    • Compatible products with separate power supply

      When eating separately, you need to know and understand how to combine foods.

      • Fish and meat are compatible with buckwheat, non-starchy foods, and vegetables;

      • Nuts are combined with vegetable oil, fruits - with sour fruits and tomatoes, green vegetables, fermented milk products- with everything, including cottage cheese.
      • Compatibility with separate meals must be observed. You can write down all the compatibility points, and after a while you will know the list of compatible products as a keepsake. In fact, it is not so difficult - habits take root in us within three weeks.

        Follow the regime and all the rules, then feeling great will become your usual state, and you will even forget about what poor health is.
