Enjoying Proper Food Combining

Enjoying food is one of the mysteries of life.  If we meet friends, it is to eat.  If we go to a ball game, swim meet, concert, we look for available food.  The exeption to this, we have found, is that, once you begin to properly combine foods you do not want a beef hamburger, pork hot dog, or the acid reflux that would come with each one of these combos especially if you have french fries or onion rings.  Try to find a garden burger or veggie burger at a game try to find a salad with something more than wilted lettuce and limp carrots.  Subway is one place we can still enjoy and some grocery stores are stocking more veggie type foods.  Eating more raw fruit is helping and we did that years ago.  We also love dried fruit mixed with nuts.  
                                 My husband is sold out on this plan because his stomach is no longer a problem during sleep, he does not take the RX the doctor told him he would always need, the remainder of his life.  He enjoys his bread with his starch meals and he uses celery or carrot sticks for push bread with his protein meals.  Our weight has gone down slowly but surely and we have more energy every day.


My thinking is that if we took this plan to schools and actually got the cafeterias to use it...the obesity in our children would drop.  My children were raised on fruit, fruit,nuts, the school nurse tormented them because they ate different.  They had energy and they were happy.  Would that not be exciting to see schools with happy, energetic (not hyperactive) kids.  If we watched the high fructose corn syrup that is in almost everything, we would be amazed at what we could eleminate from our diets.  Limiting some of our favs but we could go back to good foods...like fruit and veggies.  My heart is satisfied because this week my blood work was PERFECT.
