Hi all and thanks.

Really confused about this Hay diet and Food Combining thing.

Am I supposed to be combining proteins with only proteins and starch with only starch at mealtimes.

Or am I to be combining alkaline foods with alkaline foods and acid foods with acid foods at mealtimes

Or am I to be combining alkaline forming foords with alkaline forming foods and acid forming foods with acid forming foods at mealtimes.

How strict does one need to be as this lis here

http://home.bluegrass.net/~jclark/alkaline_foods.htm

Seems to be very detailed but it lists say a product that is only very slightly acidic or alkaline. Does that mean I can't even combine these. For example blueberries are slightly acidic, and almonds slightly alkaline and yet I have been told they are both alkaline forming.

Please help as this seems like a minefield even though I have read two books on it. There sems to be a lot of web material but also a lot of contradicting lists of food and advice etc etc.
