im still trying to ween off cooked food, i usually save the cooked stuff for the end of the day so i can load up on fruit beforehand. but sometimes, usually on weekends, i will eat cooked food (cooked quinoa, beans, etc.). how many hours should i give stomach to empty out before i can eat fruit? ive read it takes anywhere from 5-8 hours for food to leave the stomach. i assume that means cooked foods. do i really have to wait that long before i eat fruit?

Opinion:

-Good food combining....or mono-eating....are good practices....but not that big a deal while the person is still transitioning. I would not worry about this...but simply seek to increase your overall % of fresh, unprocessed fruits and vegetables......unless you are experiencing acute symptomology. Once you reach YOUR raw goals, then refining and cleansing practices can be quite helpful.

i eat cooked food before fruit sometimes and i don't have any big problems; well, there's no difference in digestion between me eating cooked food after or before fruit is what I mean

hope you're able to figure things out smiling smiley

Can you eat the fruit first?
THis will pass through your system quite quickly. Especially if you mono just waiting for an hour does it for me.

I agree with you that eating the fruit first is best as it digests very quickly leaving you room to eat your cooked food later on.

If you eat the fruit after the cooked meals, they will be stuck behind this slowly digesting cooked food until they start to ferment. Not a good situation!

I think 4 hours should be enough, unless your cooked meal was really badly combined.

it also depends on the meal - cooked food can digest fast if it's the right kind (like breads and pastas and such will take longer to digest then steamed vegetables or something)
