Weight Loss 2009
A meal consisting of proteins,carbohydrates and fats may remain in the stomach for six to seven hours before the stomach is emptied. If carbohydrates are eaten without proteins, they remain in the stomach for a relatively short period. A fruit meal remains in the stomach for even shorter time. It is advisable to eat these different foods at different meals - a fruit meal, a starch meal and a protein meal. The ideal practice is a fruit meal for breakfast, a starch meal with salad and non- starchy vegetables for lunch, and a protein meal with a salad and non-starchy vegetables for dinner.

If you wish to study this topic in more depth thereare a number of books on the subject. One that I rather like is Kathryn Marsden's book titled "The Complete Book Of Food Combining". It is a well written book with loads of information and gives alternatives to this type of diet. I feel that there is sufficient validity in this type of diet that even if you only managed to follow it for a few meals a week, you could feel the benefit. Even if you don't follow it, but take on board the general principles you could benefit.
