Food Combining Questions for Chrisb1 and others :)


Greetings to all,

This is my first time posting in this forum   .

I have read up on the basics of food combining and i have a strong intuitive belief that it is sound, though i know some will disagree.

For those who believe in the principles i am trying to figure out a couple of subtleties of the art. 

First of all, since it is not good to mix heavy proteins with heavy starches, i am trying to determine if protein powder (100% whey) is considered to be so light of a protein that it can be mixed rather nicely into a starch meal, or if indeed it shouldn't.  I am looking to get some light (but complete) protein into my post-am-cardio starch (glycogen refill) meal without it being a bad combo, not wanting to wait 4 hours from awakening to get the first substantial protein into my system.  

Secondly, i have read in many places that fruit should be eaten on an empty stomach and always alone since it spends no appreciable time in the stomach and would cause other foods to ferment if combined with them.  But i have also seen (in fewer places) that oil would be a good combination for fruit (if i am not mistaken because it causes the fruit to favorably metabolize slower, but perhaps not in the stomach)?  What do you think? 

And if indeed fruit and oil are mixed, will they then sit together in the stomach longer, or will the oil/fruit combination act as fruit does alone and all but skip through the stomach and primarily digest in the intestines?   Bottom line, all things considered is it better to mix fruit with oil (good time for the omega 3 capsules perhaps), or to have the fruit all by itself.  And if the oil is a good mix, how much with say a 300 calorie pre AM cardio fruit feast?

Thanks,

Mighty Sun Tzu
