Somersizing for Jayne

[Guest guest]

Hi Jayne:

I have both of her books, and I have read them, but I don' t like the food

combining part of her plan. I have used some of her recipes, and she has some

great sugarfree desserts. I am attaching a summary of her

plan that Joya sent to me way back when. Hope that helps too!

Warmly,

1. Eliminate all Funky Foods. (Sugar, white flour, carrots, bananas, corn,

potatoes, avocados, liver, low-fat or whole milk, nuts, olives, caffeine,

alcohol)

2. Eat Fruits alone, on an empty stomach. (empty stomach is 2 to 3 hours after a

meal) (After eating fruit you wait 20 minutes for a carb meal or one hour for a

fat/protein meal)

3. Eat Proteins/Fats with Veggies.

4. Eat Carbos with Veggies and no fat.

5. Keep Proteins/Fats separate from Carbos.

6. Wait three hours between meals if switching from a Proteins/Fats meal to a

Carbos meal, or vice versa.

7. Do not skip meals. Eat three meals a day, and eat until you feel satisfied

and comfortably full.

(Italicized list is from elsewhere on the same page, and is NOT complete.)

These rules vary a little (in some cases, quite a bit), depending upon which

Food Combining program you are following, but these are hers. (There are other

programs, including The Hay Diet, the Kensington Way,

Michel Montignac's Dine Out and Lose Weight, and Fit for Life

You can eat fruit on an empty stomach, if you wish to start your morning with

it, you must wait 20 minutes before having a Carbo/Veggie meal and a full hour

before a Protein/Fat/Veggie meal.

Your right about the two combinations. Pro/Fat and Veggie, Carbo/Veggie. Carbos

include Fat Free Dairy products and whole Grains.

We don't count anything, no fat grams, no carbo grams, no nothing. We read

labels, look for hidden sugars, oils and the like.

You can have a snake any time, remember you must wait till your stomach is empty

before changing what you eat, If you have a pro/fat lunch, you can have a

pro/fat snack any time, but if you wish to change to a

Carbo snack, you have to wait 3 hours.

Suzanne suggests eat your Carbo meal early in the day, so your body will process

the carbos during the day, not giving it time to store them away. I've been

limiting my Carbo/Veggie meals to three times weekly,

sticking with the Pro/Fat and Veggie and Fruit. I find myself hungry when I eat

Carbos' for

breakfast.

You may want to stick with your lean cuts of meat and cook in olive oils, I use

butter seldomly, it seems a bit heavy to cook with.

First, make sure you read Eat Great, Lose Weight. It has the most complete

explanation of the program. Get Skinny is the sequel.

1. Read the ingredient list not the nutritional panel to look for sugars,

fructose, corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrose, dextrin, maltodextrin . . . you

get the idea.

2. Sugar free pudding is not allowed because the main ingredient is cornstarch.

We don't eat corn products and we avoid starches.

3. Dried fruits are not allowed because their sugar content has been

concentrated during the drying process. Also, think how easy it is to eat 50

raisins, then try to eat 50 grapes.

4. You may have juice so long as it is " no sugar added " . It may also be from

concentrate if it's " no sugar added " . Most SSers use it mostly for smoothies.

5. If you want coffee and you've had a pro/fat meal use cream. If you've had a

carb meal use skim milk. (if you like your coffee black, ignore this one).

6. Vegetarian burgers are made of soy and since tofu is a " funky " food that

makes soy products funky too.

7. You may use artificial flavorings and extracts in foods.

8. You may use artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin, stevia or

splenda (or none at all if you choose).

9. Snacks - (make sure you adhere to timing)

a. meat wrapped or filled w/a full fat cheese.

b. fruit

c. ww toast w/ff cream cheese and tomato

d. veggies w/ dip either hummus (carb) or cheesy (pro/fat)

10. Low fat dairy products don't fit into this WOE well. They are neither a full

fat (pro/fat), nor a non-fat (carbo) so that makes them " funky " .

11. Easy way to remember what a carb is: If it's not a fruit or a veggie and it

doesn't have fat (beans for example) it's a carb.

12. All beans (except green beans) are considered to be carbos for the purposes

of this WOE.

13. Watch your salad dressings. Make sure that you don't mix a pro/fat (caesar

or vinaigrette) with a carbo meal (use the yogurt dressing).

14. Try to drink 1 gallon of water a day (I know that sounds like a lot - just

drink 1/2 c each hour.

15. Eating out - pro/fat is easiest. Very few restaurants have anything that is

whole wheat and fat and sugar free.

16. Bread - finding a whole wheat bread that is both fat and sugar free that has

any taste is nearly impossible. Unless you are going to have toast every single

day, find a whole wheat bread that has less than 1

gm sugar and is fat free (or has less than 1 gm fat). Read the ingredients and

make sure that

there is no corn syrup and that sugar is farther down the list of ingredients.

17. Sugar - whenever a product has an ingredient in it that has been " malted "

sugar will show up in the nutritional panel. Check the ingredients to make sure

the sugar came from malting and isn't just added.

18. Whole wheat - the only real whole wheat is stated as whole wheat flour or

whole wheat or cracked whole wheat or stone ground whole wheat. Bleached wheat

flour is white flour. Enriched whatever is white flour.

Good example - regular roman meal bread is white bread. They just made a " whole

wheat "

variety.

19. You may also have other whole grain pastas and breads (remember no fat or

sugar added). They include: amaranth, barley, bran, brown rice, buckwheat, durum

wheat, farina, kamut, millet, oats, pumpernickel, rye,

spelt or lavash bread (or any combination of the above).

20. Cereal - regular grapenuts, cheerios and shredded wheat are fine (grape nuts

flakes have a little added sugar). This is a carbo meal to be eaten w/skim milk.

Check other " whole grain " cereal ingredients to

make sure they do not have sugar added.
