Product Description

Fresh new jacket edition of this bestselling weight loss title, which has sold over 250,000 copies. Adapting Dr Hay's teachings -- separating protein and starch for optimum health -- respected nutritionist Kathryn Marsden provides advice and easy recipes to help you lose weight easily, naturally, safely and healthily. Food combining is based on Dr Hay's theory that proteins and starches should be separated in our diet for optimum health. As well as its proven health benefits -- such as alleviating digestive disorders, arthritis, persistent headaches and skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis -- it is the easy, flexible, healthy way to lose weight. Leading nutritionist Kathryn Marsden has devised four weeks of easy recipes that include three meals a day, already divided into the three categories of starch, protein and alkaline meals, so the diet plan is incredibly easy to follow. This is one of the healthiest and easiest ways to lose weight -- no calorie counting, no small portions and few forbidden foods -- so you can lose weight while still enjoying your food. This book is both an excellent introduction to a new way of eating for long-term health benefits, and a recipe resource for committed food combiners wanting to lose weight or simply looking for new meal ides. The recipes can either be followed strictly day by day or mixed and matched by more confident food combiners. Also includes useful health tips and simple explanations as well as ideas for menu planning.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant guide!
This book is a great way of finding out about the benefits of food combining and the principles of the Hay diet. The book is well written, easy to understand and elaborates on many of the points in other books that left me feeling confused. Even within the menu planning section there are helpful hints and tips and reminders about the diet rules. A very interesting and informative book.

Interesting and revealing
This is a geat book for a interesting read on food combining. The basic premise of the diet is that certain foods shouldn't be combined with others. The reason why is because your body needs to use acid to break down some foods and alakali for others. Acid and alkali together neautralise each other out so your body will burn nothing and this is the principle behind the diet. Its a very good book you'll find it interesting.
