Sommercizing helped my sister-in-law lose 35 lbs last year. Also helped her 2 daughters shed weight post-pregnancy.

I tried a different but similar food-combining plan for about 6 months 2 years ago. Kept gaining and losing the same 5 lbs.

I found out I need to eat proteins with my carbs in order to gain any sense of satisfaction. On carb meals or fruit meals, I just wanted to keep eating and eating. My belly would be full but I wouldn't be satisfied. I need protein to get that sense of satisfaction that helps me stop eating.

Right now I break all the food combining rules and have no digestive problems as long as I stay away from the foods I'm allergic to: sugar, corn, gluten-containing grains and most legumes

Every one has a unique body and health issues. Experiment and find what works for you.

all the best,
