I got Herbert Shelton's Book called "Food Combining Made Easy" from the library. I am finding it to be a very difficult read, although the parts I AM grasping, I really like. Perhaps when my mind is more whole and I am more healed, I'll be able to better comprehend. I really want a chart to live by. Once I use it for a while, it'll be second nature and I won't have to worry about referencing it, but for now a little chart would be most helpful. Do you think the one I gave link to reflects HS's principles?? Thanks once again y'all!, Mindy  Re: Does this CHART reflect H. Shelton's Food Combining Principles?

On paper, Food Combining makes sense, but I don't think the current crop of 'experts' put much faith in it. "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is".......Yogi Berra Re: Does this CHART reflect H. Shelton's Food Combining Principles?

Date: February 10, 2013 03:30PM I agree, reading Sheldon is like reading a text book, but I would call it a good general reference.
I think I pretty much follow it naturally except I do combine proteins with sweet fruits. You'll find that many raw desert recipes combine them. Dates and nuts or seeds tend to be a common delight. My suggestion is to consider it a loose guide. However, most people will agree that melons should always be eaten alone. Hi WY, long time no see, How's it going? Re: Does this CHART reflect H.

Date: February 11, 2013 06:00AM The part on the chart on vegetables, where it says combines with most foods, this is misleading. It is only non-starchy, non-acidic vegetables that mix well with most foods, meaning leafy greens. For example, broccoli, which is slightly starchy, will not mix with a banana. But a romaine lettuce will.  Re: Does this CHART reflect H. Shelton's Food Combining Principles?
