We’d also like to draw your attention to product combinations that are best to avoid:
- Proteins (meat, fish, eggs, etc) and carbohydrates (bread, cereals, potatoes, pastries).
- Acidic foods (citruses, apples, tomatoes) and carbohydrate-rich foods.
- Carbohydrates and sugar, such as cakes with sweet jam.
- Proteins should not be eaten with starch or with other proteins (meat + eggs; cheese + eggs; meat + nuts, etc).
- Always eat fruit (particularly melons) separately from any other food.
- It’s best to consume milk separately from a main meal or to exclude it from your diet altogether.
