all potatoes including sweet potatoes & yams .

Proteins

Note: the following is one of the more stringent food combining rules - keep each Protein group separate as it takes different digestive juices to digest each group. Honestly, I don't follow this rule, but hey - maybe if I did I could lose those last ten excruciating pounds!

Dairy

Use raw (unpasteurized) dairy products whenever possible. All dairy products contain casein and should be avoided as much as possible.

The predominant element in the foods below is fat. These can be used with both Proteins and Starches as the fat makes them Neutral.
  • creme fraiche
  • whipping or heavy cream
  • butter
cheeses: avoid yellow cheeses if you can, they contain dyes half & half
cottage cheese kefir
cream cheese milk (avoid completely)
farmers cheese ricotta cheese
hoop cheese yogurt (avoid completely)
