Health and weight control by eating what you want

A valuable secret: the dissociated diet – the associated compatible diet – health and weight control by eating what you want
-this article is edited according to the lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet-

Most of the energy we get from food is consumed for its digestion: up to 80%.

So, the way we eat and the “accounting” of food are of great importance

It is not only what we eat that matters, but also how we eat. Especially how we combine the foods consumed at a meal (and possibly, over the course of a day). Also, weight reduction, safe and permanent, is directly related to the amount of energy we have available and its effective use to eliminate waste (excessive weight) from the body.

Through this diet called dissociated we can eat what we want

and to have a good, easy, healthy digestion, we can regulate our weight with great ease and we can feel freer and stronger.

Of course, it is good that the food is as natural, healthy, pure as possible. However, the described regimen helps anyone, regardless of the food with which they are accustomed – they just have to eat the food otherwise associated with it!

In the following, we will prefer the introduction of the new concept of “Compatible Associated Nutrition“, for several reasons:

1. The term “dissociated” reflects from the beginning a certain split, a separation from a common trunk; Or, our goal is to unify the different facets of our lives, including food! We do not dissociate the non-conforming elements, but associate the elements that support each other, without counteracting their effects;

2. This association will be made between compatible elements, in the sense that we will explain below.

It should be noted that this concept, of “compatible association”, can extend to our entire lifestyle

including nutrition, physical effort, sleep regimen, maintenance cures based on natural or quasi-natural products, behavior, attitude, way of thinking, managing emotions, etc.
We can therefore talk about “an associated compatible lifestyle”!

And this association relates, of course, to the elements that intervene in a coherent whole. For example, we cannot say that we want to practice a performance sport, and languish every morning until late in bed, “bypassing” training – these are incompatible behaviors and attitudes.

Likewise, we cannot pretend that we want to lose weight, and continue to consume food chaotically and in large quantities – an example of eating incompatible with the proposed goal.

Finally, we cannot say that we want to cure ourselves of a certain disease, for example ulcer, and continue to get angry for any reason, eat disorderly and maintain an irregular sleep schedule.

All these elements are unassociated and incompatible, representing vectors of contrary directions of evolution.

As for the compatible associated food, it will include, at each meal, certain foods that are digested “in the same way” in the body, requiring as little energy as possible for digestion. Digestion expends more energy than running, swimming, or cycling.

There is nothing that consumes more energy than digestion

Energy is very important for detoxifying the body, because if we eliminate toxic waste from the body, we will also normalize our weight. The elimination cycle also requires a great expenditure of energy.

Where does the new internal energy come from?

Of course, from our digestive tracts.
Food combination is based on the discovery that certain food combinations are digested more easily and efficiently than others, therefore with less internal energy consumption. Incorrect combinations of foods lead to a real internal energy crisis and the spectacular shortening of life. Death occurs when the body no longer has the necessary energy at its disposal.

There are some conclusions that can be useful to us at this stage:

1.Each species of mammal has a constitution adapted to a certain type of food.
There are carnivores, herbivores, fruitivores, omnivores, each with its own type of digestive tract. Man does not possess all these types of digestive tract. And yet, we ingest all kinds of food possible.
Combinations of dishes such as: eggs with bread, cheese with bread, cereals with milk, etc., are not in the interest of our health and will not provide the energy we need or the body we dream of.

2.The human stomach is not “designed” by nature to digest more than one concentrated food at a meal (any kind of food that is not fruit or raw vegetable is a concentrated food).

When combining food, we will take into account some requirements:

1. Minimum energy consumption through digestion.
2. Food should not stay in our stomach for 8 hours and spoil, then pass and remain in the intestines for over 20 hours.
3. Food must remain in our stomach for a maximum of 3 hours without rotting, fermenting, without then producing gas, burns, acid indigestion, etc.
4. Processed food in the stomach must pass quickly and efficiently through the intestines.

Finally, considering all these basic elements, we can now state…

Principles of Compatible Associated Nutrition

Foods can be divided into three groups:

A. Protein: dairy, cheese, eggs, soya…

B. Neutral foods: almost all vegetables, salads, seeds, nuts and other oilseeds, butter, olive oil, other types of edible oil;

C. Carbohydrates: biscuits, pasta, rice, potatoes, sugar/honey, sweets, cereals/cereals, bread, etc.

*Legumes: beans, peas, grains, chickpeas, lentils, etc. have a fairly high protein content, but some also contain carbohydrates, so they are a special case, usually assimilated to one of groups A or C.

Association rule:

You can combine any food from group A with any food from group B.
You can combine any food from group B with any food from group C.
Never combine foods from groups A and C, and between meals where foods from groups A or C are consumed, you should leave an interval of 3-4 hours.

Also, in addition to this keystone of healthy eating, it is good to take into account the following:

1. It is advisable to avoid the consumption of refined foods (for example: white bread, white pasta, white rice, white sugar), preferring wholemeal ones (for example: wholemeal pasta, wholemeal bread, brown rice, brown sugar / honey).

2. Limit sugar intake, preferring honey, in moderate amounts.

3. Use only one source of protein at a meal, for example: only cheese or eggs, etc. (along with salads, possibly).

4. Eliminate (preferably completely) the consumption of alcoholic beverages or caffeine.

5. Strictly follow the rule of not consuming liquids immediately before a meal or immediately after a meal (it is good to let about 15-20 minutes pass).

6. Prefer unrefined carbohydrates (whole grains, potatoes) instead of refined carbohydrates.

Fruits are eaten on their own. You can eat fruit salads, but not as a dessert.

And, of course, the secret to a healthy diet is moderation!

Here are some examples of food combinations that could serve as menus:

Example 1 :
If you eat eggs or cheese, you can combine them with salad, not potatoes, rice, macaroni, or bread. You can combine them with: green beans, tomatoes, spinach, eggplant, celery, cauliflower, zucchini.

Example 2 :
You can eat boiled potatoes with butter, paired with zucchini, green beans, but also with salad.
You can eat starchy foods (potatoes, rice, green beans, pasta, eggplant, garlic), but you should also eat a raw salad.
If you want to eat cheese with salad, don’t use bread!

Example 3 :
Is it advisable to combine one category of proteins with other proteins? Not! Because combining two concentrated foods at a single meal exceeds the possibilities of our stomach to function properly and with minimal energy expenditure.
Two proteins of the same kind can be combined: for example, different dairy products, but not two different proteins, such as eggs with dairy. The combination of starches with each other can be done because they do not decompose as hard as proteins, and the fermentation phenomenon does not occur.

Here are some general tips on designing a complete menu during a day:

A. The order in which food will be consumed on a day should be as follows:
1. Fresh juices and fruits.
2. Fresh vegetable juices and salads.
3. Boiled vegetables, raw nuts, seeds.
4. Cereals, bread, potatoes, vegetables.
5. Eggs, cheeses.

B. Boiling (in compotes, jams, cakes) of fruits is not indicated, since their alkalinity turns into acidity.

C. Vegetables such as: cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes combine very well with fruits, other cooked vegetables, pasta or rice.

D. Cooked tomatoes become very acidic.

E.The fruits will dry in the sun, not chemically.

F. Walnuts will be eaten raw. In this state, they are very nutritious and easily digestible. They contain protein and calcium. However, do not overeat nuts or eat them roasted, as they are very acidic. Raw nuts are a wonderful source of natural oil.

G. Seeds in general are a source of concentrated protein, and should be eaten raw, never fried and only in small quantities. Do not combine the seeds with other concentrated foods.

H. Avoid consuming pasteurized dairy products.

I. Animal fats (meat) will always be avoided.

J. Oils are recommended to be as unrefined as possible, the best being obtained by cold pressing.

K. Periodically, eat only fruits and salads one day a week.

L. Fruits are eaten only on an empty stomach. Breakfast should consist only of fruits, fruit juices or vegetables (cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes).

M. The correct combination of food is:

• Salads with protein ( eggs, cheeses, dairy). They can be accompanied by zucchini, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, green beans, carrots, onions, garlic, parsley, celery, eggplant, in a mixture (salad) or individually.
• Cooked vegetables can combine with each other, but only with raw vegetables or raw vegetable salads.
• Starchy salads (potato, wheat, bread, cornmeal – polenta, rice, peas, green beans. The latter can be combined with cooked vegetables, but necessarily also with a raw vegetable salad).
• You can combine starches with each other.

N. Do not drink water during a meal or for about half an hour after a meal.

O. After 9 p.m. it is advisable not to eat anything.

Paraphrasing a well-known Romanian proverb, we can state:
“Tell me what you eat, so I can tell you who you are!”

By consistently following the principles stated above, we will have the opportunity to gradually extend the consonance between the demands of our body and diet to our entire lifestyle. In this way, we will contribute to the unification of our being, which will cease to manifest itself as a conglomerate of contradictory tendencies of the egos, and will tend more and more towards harmony and unification.
