5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this book!, December 29, 1999

By	N. Roberts "nanjean" (California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I initially got Kathryn Marsden's little book on Food Combining which is a great beginner (explainer). This one goes into much more detail but still keeps everything so simple. Once you learn the premise, you can honestly create or adjust every recipe you already have and use. This book also gave information about medical conditions that respond favorably when we stop mixing all foods together at the same time. This information could help keep you out of the doctors office. My friend with diabetes is thriving on this program. You could honestly have more time, money and health to do what you really enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Foundation-But needs to be supplemented, July 15, 1999

By	[e-mail] (USA) - See all my reviews

I agree with the comments of the other reviewers however, I need something with more ideas. It seems very limiting and I have no variety with my diet. It also doesn't address certain areas. For one, salad dressings. It says you can use salad dressing but then it does not tell you what kinds, what it should or should not contain, whether certain dressings are better when you are eating carbohydrates or when you are eating protein. It just leaves some tables unturned. But it offers the fundamentals...a good place to start. Any suggestions for other sources?

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes I felt better by following the guidelines, September 11, 1998

By A Customer

While food combining rules can be very complicated this book simplifies them. It provides basic guidelines for neutral, acid and alkaline meals. It provides guidelines for starch and protein meals. It has general menu guidelines for preparing the different types of meals, sample menus for simple meals, and tables identifying foods by acid, alkaline or neutral characteristics. I have fewer digestive problems when I follow the guidelines and have gotten rid of some nagging digestive problems that have bothered me over the years. A great little book on a complicated subject.
