She is basically talking about following Ayurveda, an ancient holistic science of healing, which hasn’t been supported by other scientific evidence but I tell u it’s much lighter on ur digestive system if u suffer from indigestion or have a slower metabolism. It works for me 👍🏼
i have sinus congestion but i eat a whole foods, plant based diet. i started proper food combinations a few weeks ago, i now experience zero bloating and i am feeling overall great. This is complete truth, if you don't believe it, you must not have done it right. very great video, you are absolutely stunning my goodness. my only confusion are nuts proteins or fat category, regardless i used to make almond cheese and mix it with starches, and i removed that combo and no longer experience bloating, therefore i believe it falls more on the protein side of things. I thought chia was a protein, but i guess its more of a fat, good to know, i notice it was mixed with almonds in the picture, but ill try it plain. thanks mona
I'm not sure if you mentioned or were trying to mention what I think is an important point: Sticking to one rich protein source in a meal and not mixing it with other ones! Eg. mixing up different types of fish or meat in one meal, or mixing different types of legumes in one meal. Even though I have done more bad food combining than good LOL, I find that it's better to keep things more simple or less organisms for the body to deal with from my experience. Maybe even what folks might forget to recognize is that legumes are a combination of starch and protein. Most of them seem to have more starch than protein according to the information out here today and myself just by looking at legumes and eating them, I definitely can say it has starch. And also according to info out here and just my thought on common sense: that in reality, every fruit and vegetable has some amount of protein, even just ever so slightly. So everything has protein because that's the synthesis for life aka DNA. Some fruit and veggies just tend to be water rich, that's why something that's not water rich might be considered to have more protein.
Technically speaking... squash, cucumber, tomatoes, green beans are just a few FRUITS that people think of as vegetables. So, that being the case, how does that impact food combining? I have not found any Registered Dietitians that say food will rot in your stomach. That is simply not true and not supported by research. Combining diet has shown to help individuals with weight loss...simply because they are being more mindful of their eating, which is key for any diet to be successful. Combing complex carbs with fats, proteins and fibrous vegetables can actually help those who have diabetes. Ultimately, before people jump on a fad diet bandwagon, they need to consult their doctor or see a legit registered dietician that knows their health history.
@madeline I'm researching good combinations and came across your comment... I'm getting confused about avocado... I was making breakfast smoothies with oats... but as you're not supposed to mix starches with fruits... I'm at a loss... I was thinking to use lentils but that's also a no go for optimal digestion... is avocado ok... and what fruits are best with it? Or is it a protein?
Yeah, listen to generic medical industry advice instead of studying the most recent (and independent) findings about health and digestion. That always works really well.

This “diet” saved my gallbladder. I went to see a Naturopathic Dr who suggested I try this. In 6 months my gallbladder…no more stones or sludge. Yes I had a sonogram as a before and after. It’s a great way to learn about food and especially helpful if you have food allergies like gluten and dairy.
Suzanne Somers promoted food combining years ago, she called it Somersizing. You can still find her old books used online. She had great recipes and info in them. Also Suzanne based this on the Montignac diet, which was from France.
Yes! May she rest in peace. Suzanne was a true health warrior. Although she did succumb to cancer, I think the way she ate and cared for herself helped her live longer than she might have otherwise💕🕊

Hope you can enlighten me. Thank you! keep up the good work.
@@amyb6844 And I'd say watch Unnatural Vegan's vid on this. I knew this is bullshit to begin with, but I'm glad these two ladies spoke up and exposed this jokester's "advice".
Jesus Christ. I can't believe people still fall for shit like this. This "Dr" and the advice she gives people are dangerous. She's literally makes up false scientific claims
she gives wrong information. There is no evidence for what she calls facts. Some tips for gerd are avoid drinking a lot of coffee, eating a lot of sugar, high intakes of fresh mint tomatoes or citrus. Stop or avoid smoking, alcohol. Avoid laying down after meals. For ibs a low FODMAP diet works well but this is hard to do on your own so you better find a liscenced dietician to guide you for that.
I'm a little confused. I just read a book based on the Hay Diet of food combining. On there it has acidic fruits paired with protein but not starches. Also yoghurt with fruit. 🤔 I normally have porridge for breakfast and fruit later on in the day. Could i not have fruit later in the day if I'm leaving the recommended 4 hours between meals?
Hi Mona, I have been vegan for 2 years and recently have been having issues with IBS symptoms such as bloating and stomach pains. I will try this out and hopefully it will help with the symptoms! Thanks for the advice
I always have coffee with milk in the morning. What am I supposed to do now? If I’m only supposed to have fruit? Black coffee? Or are there other options of what I could put into my coffee? I don’t like black coffee. I’m open to suggestions.
I've been researching food combining lately because I've heard you mention it a few times but this helped simplify and make sense out of all the info I've been taking in from online! Thanks!!
Thank you very much for this video. I was getting a lot of bloating despite my extremely healthy diet and this must be why. I began following the recommendations this morning and will continue doing so. I appreciate all of your advice ❤️
You're right Renata! We should never mix carbs and fats! Contrary to what Dr. Mona suggests, these two combined create a vicious cycle of addictions and cause weight gain due to a surge of insulin and dopamine. Insulin is released when carbs are consumed, but insulin also promotes the storage of fats in a process called de novo lipogenesis. So essentially, some of those carbs will get used for energy while all the fats get stored. You did just provide the body with two rich energy sources after all! As for dopamine, that is released to encourage a 'rewarding' behaviour - this is why we feel so good binge eating on sugary creamy treats! Carbs and fats create addictions which inevitably cause weight gain and this cycle is so hard to break, so definitely avoid those lethal combos!
carbs are best eaten on their own. For example sugary fruit or sweet potatoes. If u add fat to that your blood sugar will spike more than it should. I feel like some rules are for better digestion and some for stable blood sugar
Well remember not all fats are created equal. Like she says olives are fats, and a working example of a starch + fat meal as toast and avocado I'm sure toast + coconut oil as a meal would act differently - also there HAS to be personal preferences/issues, there is not a one size fits all format to health ( we are not machines ). Avocado toast will give 2 people different gi, insulin, and digestion responses. But yes so much info it's rather overwhelming.
Can i combine nuts and seeds in the morning with just fruits ? If not then with what can i combine, cause i have almonds, pumkin seeds and sunflower seeds daily... so am confused with what should i combine those? Please guide me
Hey Dr. Mona! Just a little confused here - you said that proteins don't go well with fats. What about fatty fish like mackerel or salmon? They have high quantities of both fats (omega 3s, 6s) and proteins. Why would nature itself provide a food source that is 'imbalanced' in macros, according to your understanding?
I was actually eating our native legume starchy food (boliled Karlang) and boiled Tofu when watching this video and when I heard her saying that starch food and protein could not be combined I'm like which one should i stop eating now and just eat it later instead :)
Could you do a hair tutorial? I LOVE your hair! It’s so healthy! What products do you use? Like shampoos, sprays, oils? Pleaseeee! What lotion do you use on your skin that makes it glow? I’ve been trying to look for a healthy lotion without parabens but that will not be sticky. Glad I found your channel!
I have a question. Would you consider natural nut butters to fall under the fat category or the protein category? I would like to mix nut butter with oatmeal (which I am hoping is kind of a starch?). Would this work? Also, I know tomatoes are technically a fruit, but with food combining, can they work in the veg category?
Mam there is definitely a big no no for carbs + fat.. as carbs spikes insulin and insulin is also a fat storing hormone ... e.g Cheese burger has much fattening effect
But waiiitttt protein and starches are getting digested in different parts of the body🧐 (I can only explain it German, cause my main subject is biology)
Dr. Mona, pls kindly tell me what foods can be combined with honey & which foods are harmful to eat with honey? I really hope you will reply ASAP & thanks
Mona thank you so much for this video. The infoemation is very clear. I've had poor dogestion for decades with constipation and now persistent inflammation on my right eyelid. So i'm gonna try this to see if it helps. But 3 quick questions for you: 1) i take it from what you've said that ican"t do brown rice with raisins? 😣 2) can i use coconut milk with both protein and starches? and 3) what about nutritional yeast? Can i have that with anything please? Thank you so much. I look forward to your response.
Thinks for sharing. I am sure a lot of people are overwhelm by all the information given by healthcare prof. Who's right and who's wrong. Listen to your body, because it will take care of you if you let. Had to learn this the hard way.
Is there a specific reason vegetables are 'ok' with all food combining? I thought veggies took a rather long time to digest so just curious as to why they are the 'free forall' foods.
Eating mainly starches one day and mainly protein meals the next is not a healthy diet. It is important to have balance and make sure you are consuming all food groups throughout the day.
disagree. Some have slow metabolism and need that break of proteins/ starch. I like the idea of alternating these foods or at least giving ourselves a break from proteins 1 to 2 days a week. It all depends on what type of metabolism one has.
this is so helpful!! what happens if you drink coffee first thing in the am? what is the time frame of when you should have it before or after a smoothie/juice?
But...vit c makes absorbing iron easier, and grains paired with most incomplete proteins make them complete...so...they should be combined for max absorption.
agreeing but also very greatly disagreeing with your theories here. It's all about portioning ! Don't be afraid to have a little starch with your protein at dinner. Can't believe your advising other wise because lets be honest, it's not realistic for most. I would agree in the sense to maybe have your larger serving of starch earlier in the day (like at lunch) but otherwise I am a firm believer in balancing foods throughout the day. *Although I did not move on to become a RD, I do have a degree in nutrition and dietetics.* For a healthy individual, limiting certain food groups to certain times of the day is unnecessary, although like I previously stated, if eating in bulkier portions (which is never recommended), then I would agree with you. I feel like this video should be more targeted toward those without a healthy gut.
I think she delivered a very "short" version of food combining and dissociated diet. You can add the rule that you can have protein dominant meal (75% protein + 25% starch) and starch dominant meal (75% starch + 25% protein), and in that case it's quite realistic to do and can have some benefits healthwise. Anyway I recently got interested in that subject and nobody seems to perfectly agree on what to do precisely... In my case eating the dairy and fruits outside of the meals helped my gut a lot.
When you refer to fruit in this video, are you including all things regarded as fruit because its seeds are inside; i.e., bell pepper, squash, tomato, etc.?
Thank you so much for this video. As a recent Vegan (4 months) I'm still trying to find the right combinations that works well with intermittent fasting and an active lifestyle. Happy New Year!!
@Dr Mona Vand. OMG! I feel like I've been living all wrong my whole life (30+) how can I reverse all my wrong ways & not have yeast, cancer, bacteria etc? Help
After many videos finally i found you. Your knowledge is very correct real n scientific. As even i read about it recently. Keep providing such awsm true real knowledge. Keepitup
I'm confused, in this video you said that beans and lentils are proteins but in your cheat sheet for food combining they are categorized under starches...please clarify!
Dr.Mona love love love this video ♥️ This is something what my dad always been telling me all my childhood haha I have a question though... what do you think happens when people are putting whey protein powder in their smoothies? Will powdered protein be digested in the same way as plant/animal protein does? Would it mean that it’s best not to put protein powder in morning smoothie?
I don't get it , can we combine quinoa with yogurt? its starch + protein, so no? but all the nutrionists say the best breakfast is yogurt with fruits and quinoa.. can u help ?
Hey guys...in regards to food combining I find starch + veggies a bit bland and was wondering if starch + veggies + mushrooms would be OK? In short is mushroom grouped as a carb or protein in terms of food combining according to Dr.Mona? Thanks!!
I think I am going to experiment with this . . . Been getting a lot of bloating and getting constipated. But what about high fat sugary snacks . . What category do they fall under?.
Please provide further clarification on food combinations. You said fruits don’t combine with other foods but how about right before a meal . . . Do I wait a while before i move on to other food groups. Also I don’t understand how rice gets digested differently than other protein sources since rice itself has plenty of protein. How about foods that are high carb-High protein or high protein starches?. ? ? ?.
I need to have protein at every meal was my blood sugar goes haywire and I feel shakey, dizzy, lightheaded. Trying to figure out how I can make this work for me, so I feel well. Not having any protein until dinner will not be good for me.
This was the best most informative video ive seen in such a long time! Looking fwd to the next one. I've been struggling with a program that wants you to eat try to eat equivalent amount of carbohydrates to protein and I'm not sure what the significance of that is but I see you say don't mix the two this was a diet program
It is, don't listen to this crazy lady, she's not a registered dietitian. I REPEAT, she is not a registered dietitian. DO NOT listen to her. Actual scientist have done many studies and the consensus is clear: FOOD COMBINING IS UNNECESSARY.
1. Eat fruit first thing in the morning
2. Dont eat fruit after a meal
3. Starches: pasta rice quinoa bread and potatoes squash should be eaten during lunch
4. Dont combine starch and protein
5. After lunch you can have protein eg for dinner: beans lentils
6. Vegetables combine with everything
7. Fats combine very well with starches eg avocado on toast .. and ok with protein

Yes, it helps gain muscle, people usually take it after a workout
🙋🏻 can I add protein powder in my fruit smoothie in the morning..?
drink the smoothie, then 20min later, drink the protein
everything is fine with everything, please don't believe this pseudoscience, there's no scientific evidence to support it
In which category do nuts and almond milk fall into?
Eating mainly starches one day and mainly protein meals the next is not a healthy diet. It is important to have balance and make sure you are consuming all food groups throughout the day.
disagree. Some have slow metabolism and need that break of proteins/ starch. I like the idea of alternating these foods or at least giving ourselves a break from proteins 1 to 2 days a week. It all depends on what type of metabolism one has.
Rayna Piskova and yet this “doctor” didn’t mention that.
Actually, mono meals or close to that, is much easier to digest.
@@r.p.8906 because "they" told you this???
this is so helpful!! what happens if you drink coffee first thing in the am? what is the time frame of when you should have it before or after a smoothie/juice?
But...vit c makes absorbing iron easier, and grains paired with most incomplete proteins make them complete...so...they should be combined for max absorption.
U can add lemon or lime juice to meals which gives vit c they seem ok with everything
agreeing but also very greatly disagreeing with your theories here. It's all about portioning ! Don't be afraid to have a little starch with your protein at dinner. Can't believe your advising other wise because lets be honest, it's not realistic for most. I would agree in the sense to maybe have your larger serving of starch earlier in the day (like at lunch) but otherwise I am a firm believer in balancing foods throughout the day. *Although I did not move on to become a RD, I do have a degree in nutrition and dietetics.* For a healthy individual, limiting certain food groups to certain times of the day is unnecessary, although like I previously stated, if eating in bulkier portions (which is never recommended), then I would agree with you. I feel like this video should be more targeted toward those without a healthy gut.
I think she delivered a very "short" version of food combining and dissociated diet. You can add the rule that you can have protein dominant meal (75% protein + 25% starch) and starch dominant meal (75% starch + 25% protein),
and in that case it's quite realistic to do and can have some benefits healthwise. Anyway I recently got interested in that subject and nobody seems to perfectly agree on what to do precisely... In my case eating the dairy and fruits outside of the meals helped my gut a lot.
a little confused...lol. so you shouldn't mix beans with pasta? and fruit wouldn't be considered a good after school snack for kids?
When you refer to fruit in this video, are you including all things regarded as fruit because its seeds are inside; i.e., bell pepper, squash, tomato, etc.?
Thank you so much for this video. As a recent Vegan (4 months) I'm still trying to find the right combinations that works well with intermittent fasting and an active lifestyle. Happy New Year!!
How long do the fats take to digest?
I was so overwhelmed with all the information I have seen. But this video really made it simple for my brain to process 😄 thank you💗
What does beans combine with or what category are they in ?
SunsetDreamerXO legumes and beans are considered starches, they combine well with vegetables and other starches!
If you drink coffee, when would you want to drink that? Before the fruit in the morning? Or after?
Is protein smoothie (vega with water and half a banana) a good choice for breakfast instead of a fruit like an apple? Thanks Mona.
i would do fruit first then the smoothie :)
@Dr Mona Vand. OMG! I feel like I've been living all wrong my whole life (30+) how can I reverse all my wrong ways & not have yeast, cancer, bacteria etc? Help
Is it ok to add flex seed oil to the green smoothie that contains vegetables and fruits?
flex seed oil lol
Are sweet potatoes a starch or veggie?
Thank you! Studying Natural Medicine ( in a foreign language) and have been searching for an English explanation
After many videos finally i found you. Your knowledge is very correct real n scientific. As even i read about it recently. Keep providing such awsm true real knowledge. Keepitup
I'm confused, in this video you said that beans and lentils are proteins but in your cheat sheet for food combining they are categorized under starches...please clarify!
everything is fine with everything, please don't believe this pseudoscience, there's no scientific evidence to support it
Would yogurt and fruits be a good first meal to have in the morning?
Dr.Mona love love love this video ♥️ This is something what my dad always been telling me all my childhood haha
I have a question though... what do you think happens when people are putting whey protein powder in their smoothies? Will powdered protein be digested in the same way as plant/animal protein does? Would it mean that it’s best not to put protein powder in morning smoothie?
Thank you for breaking this down for us. I never knew this! This should definitely help with my digestion being a vegetarian. Wow
This sounds so much more healthy that either kero or plant based. Here you are getting ALL of the healthy foods. Thanks.
I don't get it , can we combine quinoa with yogurt? its starch + protein, so no? but all the nutrionists say the best breakfast is yogurt with fruits and quinoa.. can u help ?
Hey guys...in regards to food combining I find starch + veggies a bit bland and was wondering if starch + veggies + mushrooms would be OK? In short is mushroom grouped as a carb or protein in terms of food combining according to Dr.Mona? Thanks!!
Never mind I heard that you mentioned tofu, beans... thank you. God be with you 🙏 💕
I think I am going to experiment with this . . . Been getting a lot of bloating and getting constipated. But what about high fat sugary snacks . . What category do they fall under?.
What about having a fruit right before a meal?.
Please provide further clarification on food combinations. You said fruits don’t combine with other foods but how about right before a meal . . . Do I wait a while before i move on to other food groups. Also I don’t understand how rice gets digested differently than other protein sources since rice itself has plenty of protein. How about foods that are high carb-High protein or high protein starches?. ? ? ?.
But what if I have steamed veggies,spaghetti and chicken.is it a no no because spaghetti is starch and chicken is protein?
What are nuts? Are they fats or proteins?
So can I eat for example rice with lentils and some veggies?
I make a protein smoothie every morning with almond milk, banana, protein, collagen and blueberries. So can I not combine protein powder w fruit ?
What about protein powder in a fruit smoothie in the morning.... would I wait 4 hours to eat lunch then ?
I need to have protein at every meal was my blood sugar goes haywire and I feel shakey, dizzy, lightheaded. Trying to figure out how I can make this work for me, so I feel well. Not having any protein until dinner will not be good for me.
Have you been doing any fat with your carb meals during the day?
i heard that it is bad to mix starch with fats, i am so confused
Hi ! Would you have any papers or books on food combining to recommend?
Will you get adequate protein intake if only eating at one meal?
maybe eat 2 porcions of protein in dinner (? i want to know too
This was the best most informative video ive seen in such a long time! Looking fwd to the next one. I've been struggling with a program that wants you to eat try to eat equivalent amount of carbohydrates to protein and I'm not sure what the significance of that is but I see you say don't mix the two this was a diet program
I always thought rice and beans was a great combination. Definitely a staple in the PR diet
Me too!
this part made me so sad.. i love rice and beans together and eat them all the time as well. heh
@@carlasteinberg5155 Dont be sad. She is talking shit.
@@carlasteinberg5155 She is literally making shit up. Where are any of her sources? Her claims are not supported by the scientific consensus.
It is, don't listen to this crazy lady, she's not a registered dietitian. I REPEAT, she is not a registered dietitian. DO NOT listen to her. Actual scientist have done many studies and the consensus is clear: FOOD COMBINING IS UNNECESSARY.
Mona thank you for such important information! I am taking notes !
So what do I do? Cause I need 180g of protein a day for my diet and muscle gaining. How do I eat that much protein if I can’t eat it at every meal?
