Hi, I was quite suprised to find a forum on this subject!! I have been reading alot about the Hay diet recently & want to give it a try. I am 3 stones overweight & feel tired & have no energy. I would like to hear from other people who have tried this diet & have had good weight loss & feel better in themselves. Thanks, Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I've copied and pasted this from a reply I posted earlier which you may not have read! I came across the food combining diet after stumbling across a new diet/exercise plan. The chap advocates the food combining plan alongside a series of exercises which will radically burn fat (more so than just cv work).
The exercises must be performed in a set pattern - each one negates the negative effect of the previous exercise, so you end up more flexible and with less muscle fatigue. It's endorsed by PPP healthcare (big UK health insurer) and major international soccer players use it along with some major celebrities too.
I can't go into details because it will take forever but have a look at www.bodydoctor.com.
Since posting this before, I lost around 1 1/2 stone (and more importantly about 4 1/2 inches) in 6 weeks and was still naughty and had the odd curry, chinese, cake etc ;-) I really think it's a combination of the 2 parts - the excercise and the diet. I certainly feel alot more lively and don't have the tired spells that I used to get after lunch etc. My partner has had a lot less headaches as well, but then we cut out bread as well.
I stopped going to the gym for 4 weeks due to work and holiday, ate a fair amount of goodies (oops) and didn't put on a pound, so it also seems to get your metabolism going as well.
If you have any questions, just email me.
Best regards,
Giles :-)
PS - Forgive me if I seem to harp on about the excercise/diet thing but I've been searching for years trying to find a plan that actually works and this certainly works, so I thought I'd pass it on

cindy, although the gimme lean might fall in to the highly prodcessed foods category, you have to check - is it made of soy, or wheat gluten? if soy, you're fine, you can make this part of your protein meal (with the salad, of course), if wheat gluten, although it does contain protein in high amounts, it's made of starch, and should probably be avoided (i know, it's sad, i like it too :)..
good luck,
Runni

Hello,
I have always treated kidney beans and black beans as starch and Soy/soya beans as a protein.
Instead of mince I would use minced quorn and I would substitute soy/soya beans for the kidney and black beans. All else remains the same.
Soya beans are the only bean I class as protein.

I have had great success with food combining, though I do a few other things that help too. I take a digestive enzyme (I use a"probiotic"- a capsule with healthy bacteria stains for digestive health. There are a number of products that fall into this category. Culturelle, Flora Protect and Primal Defense.) I also avoid the foods that I am allergic to (I got a blood test to determine my food allergies.) I have lost 6.5 lbs in 2 weeks have loads of energy and require less sleep. I highly recommend it
