Is it true that you cannot digest more than one type of food at a time?
There is no scientific proof that the human body needs to separate out protein and carbohydrate foods at different meals because it can not cope with digesting them together. This idea of ‘food combining’ came originally from work at the end of the 1800’s by Dr William Hay and has been popularised through various food combining diet books published over the last ten years. Humans have one stomach and a medium-length gut which makes us omnivores and quite capable of handling for example, a steak (protein and fat) and potatoes (carbohydrate) at the same meal.
