About the Author

Herbert Shelton was the founder of the natural hygiene movement and the moving spirit behind modern raw foodism.

For almost sixty years this book has been the leading primer for anyone wanting guidance own which foods should and should not be eaten at the same meal. Shelton presents information on the processes of normal digestion and examines why combinations of acids, fats, starches, sugars, and proteins disrupt these processes. This new edition has been slightly revised to reflect Shelton's vegetarian leanings. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bold book that shatters old beliefs, June 12, 2000

This review is from: Food Combining Made Easy (Paperback)

This book challenges our daily eating habits of mixing different type of food in one meal. New research has shown that mixing different kinds of food in one go can rob you of energy instead of giving you energy! Do you feel fatigue and sleepy after that big meal of rice with meat with eggs and fish during lunch? You bet! Then after that you constipate! I've made a guinea pig of myself and found it to be true! If I combine my food properly, I don't feel sleepy after lunch, even if it was a big meal!Today, more and more people are discovering the importance of food combining, and many authors are recommending it. See books like "The Tao Of Health, Sex and Longevity" by Daniel Reid. Food combining is one of the most important thing Tony Robbins did to make his vitality explode!Here's a way to see for yourself that it works. Try the strategies of this book a few days, note your energy level and how you feel. Then go back to eating egg with meat and rice or steak with potato, and you'll see the huge difference. Remember this, you eat to gain energy, not to lose it! I recommend this precious book to anyone who wants to change his health and vitality.

This review is from: Food Combining Made Easy (Paperback)

This is a must have simple book for anyone wanting to change there health, weight or attitude with diet. His clinical work shows that what foods you eat together make a huge difference between a meal's constructive or a destructive effects on your body. When I started following his guidelines I got clearer, more energy and alertness in days. When I stray (holidays etc.) the body feels heavy, slugish in and hour. A wonderful simple essential book.

Fit for life, and Suzanne Sommers must have read this book at some point in their career. This book seems to be the source for everything written about NH today.
