Food Separation
by Don Lemmon

You have to learn to combine/mix/separate your foods correctly meal per meal to get anywhere with yourself. The stomach has no means by which to separate poorly combined foods. The digestive processes of protein, carbohydrate and fat food groups is so different that digestion cannot occur efficiently if the wrong food groups are in the stomach at the same time. For instance, the enzymes that act upon carbohydrates are not the ones that act upon proteins and fats. It isn’t a bucket of acid like you think it is down there. The body wasn’t designed to release all the different fluids needed to breakdown all the different
types of foods at once. Come to respect digestive enzymes and their limitations. Once you do, as I have witnessed countless times before, you will achieve that dream body in a fraction of the time and see not only food allergies almost completely disappear but health become restored. Why? Because you’re finally allowing yourself to receive nourishment from properly digested meals and foods.

Improperly mixed foods sit in your digestive tract and spoil. They go undigested. You receive little or none of the nutrients you are needing and expecting to get that are in those foods this way. Not only is that a waste but the spoiling process creates toxins and other poisons that can make you sick. That is why you
should try not to let more than 2 1/2 hours go between feedings all day, every day. (Assuming it takes 1/2 hour to finish each meal, and scheduling meals 3 hours apart.) In case something doesn’t get efficiently digested, then that last meal can be pushed through your digestive tract by another incoming meal. Think of the food in your stomach as a clog in a drain. Something must be put on top of that food to shove it through by applying enough pressure behind it that moves it down and out your drainage (digestive) system.

You need to be able to receive your nourishment and that is unfortunately only possible in bits and pieces that you can handle, not from handfuls of pills or buffet style meals, but from frequent, properly mixed meals. Properly combine your foods if for only this one last reason (not just to remain healthy, but) to live longer and you will watch all of your needs be met at the same time. Once you determined how to fit all six feedings a day into your schedule (or at least five), remember to also alternate between two or three carbohydrate and three protein/fat meals. Two of your meals are actually snacks, not full meals. Try cottage cheese, or peanut butter (no sugar added) on celery as a snack or fruit and yogurt. If you can’t do three snacks and have time for only five feedings, plan either breakfast and lunch OR both snacks being the carb meals. You should never have two carbohydrate feedings in a row. That sets off a trigger response for your body to burn muscle tissue and store fat, where as the opposite, two fat/protein meals in a row, is optimal and gets you burning fat instead but there has to be twice the calories in fat there are from protein.

Sounds good, but it’s confusing because you haven’t heard this before? Beats me why not. But what I have taught you thus far should have explained to most of you why what you do may work and why what some of you are doing cannot. Then again, I know some are still panicking because it looks as though I suggest one of those higher fat diets or something completely off the wall like that.

If you have been mixing proteins, fats and carbohydrates on a diet, all you have to do to get started is to place the carbs you eat in meals separate from the proteins and fats. It’s pretty darn simple.
