Food Combining For Healthy
Bridal Weight Loss
by Janice Walker Pinnington
It's amazing how time passes, and with your wedding day fast
approaching, bridal weight loss may be something you are
thinking about more seriously. To look and feel your best,
you may want to add food combining as part of your health
and weight loss plan.
When we eat, our food begins to digest. However, undigested
food can cause heartburn, stomach upset, and bloating. It
can even get stuck in our intestinal track and rot. That's
why a solid bridal weight loss plan is important.
Billions of dollars are spent each year on antacid products
and can be found in every drug store, grocery store, and
even corner store. You can resolve this problem with food
combining, and get your body back to normal fast!
Suzanne Somers used to talk about food combining a
lot and warned against eating a steak with a baked potato.
That's because the protein we eat needs an acidic enzyme to
break it down while starchy foods need an alkaline enzyme.
When these two opposing enzymes are mixed together,
they neutralize each other leaving the food to rot in the
system. When this happens, a few things can happen such as
gas, bloating, constipation, and distended stomach. In
addition, undigested food can become stored as body fat
making it difficult to lose weight on any plan.
So, what exactly is food combining,
and how do we use it for bridal weight loss?
1) Eat Fruit with Fruit - Fruit is absorbed quickly
into the system and best eaten on an empty stomach 1-2 hours
before consuming any other food.
2) Consume Protein by Itself or with Vegetables but
Never with Starchy Foods - Protein in a non-fiber substance
so eating it with fiber rich vegetables aids in digestion.
In addition, vegetables are filled with water which works in
both an acidic and alkaline environment.
3) Starches should be Eaten with Starches or
Vegetables - Since starches require an alkaline enzyme for
digestion, they are best eaten with vegetables for proper
absorption. For example, a properly combined meal would
consist of a baked potato and a side salad.
If you drink water, tea, milk or other liquids during
a meal, try to put them on hold for at least one hour after
your meal has ended. Liquids can dilute the natural enzymes
and interfere with natural digestive processes.
The best way to see if this works is to give it a try
yourself for at least a week. You will notice a huge
difference in how you feel and will also enjoy the benefit
of easy bridal weight loss.
The next time you reach for a bottle of antacid pills,
remember the idea of food combining. It could make a world
of difference in how you feel.
