Hey Alison! Love your blog. I actually just posted what I hope is an easy food combining primer — please check it out, if you’re so inclined!

I am so glad you finished it! For me, the food combining has been totally confusing and a bit too restrictive, so I haven’t delved that far into it. The one thing I’ve tried to do is eat fruit alone since my body obviously has issues with sugar. I’m looking forward to future posts about this!

And yeah, the splenda talk made me go “WHAAAT?!” especially when she recommended stevia as well. I finally kicked the stuff and now I’m reading a book that endorses it? Granted, it was many years ago and even Jillian endorsed it in Winning by Losing. Ugh, splenda, gross.

Wow…. good info. I’ve read Skinny B and Master your Metabolism but haven’t check this one out yet. I’m kind of bumbed about the fruit thing though. I like to eat fruit as a dessert after my meals. I’m still interested in it though. Be sure to keep us updated on your progress as you move in this direction!!!

I love the raw kombucha! I also never would have bothered buying it except a friend had gotten me to try and it was actually quite good! Also, low in cals, which is a plus for all the flavour you get Price is the only downfall, but I guess you get what you pay for.

I will be interested to see how it goes for you – I don’t know if it is anything I will be trying (I’m not good with too many rules/restrictions…hence everythingtarian of course!) but I will totally be interested to see what you have to say!

Have a raw-licious day dear

I want to read this book over the summer, and your thoughts on the book a very helpful! I also really like your attitude of treating it like a “buffet.” Can’t wait to read where you’ll go with it over the next weeks…

On Saturday I dug out Fit for Life and re-read the important stuff. Began my proper combining yesterday and dropped caffeine from my menu (yes, that one cup first thing every day). I like a fruit breakfast! Watermelon, then later blueberries and I was set until noon. I was shocked! And here I go again today.

Hi Alison! You and I could talk for hours about this, I’m sure! I’ve been combining well for the past few weeks and have felt great! I almost want to miscombine to see if it is worth all the effort

I know that Natalia has changer her stance on Splenda and says on her blog (detoxtheworld.com) that she is omitting it from her future editions/books.

I’ve heard ALOT about food combining and the wonders it does….good luck! I know that I can’t do things with “rules” but I have seen others have a lot of success.
