I'm having my mercury filling removed next week--looking forward to the following detox! I recommend cooking with coconut oil vs. olive and/or canola oils. Thanks again.

I think fruits are best enjoyed as snacks. So you could try eating fruit in between meals and then focus your meals around high fiber, high protein foods. If you visit the vegetarian category you should find a list of foods that are important for vegetarians to consume. Carbs digest faster than proteins so if you are going to do fruit first I would wait twenty minutes before eating a protein meal. If you do protein first then wait to have your fruit an hour after that meal. Hope that helps. You are welcome to drop off your questions here anytime. I look forward to them! Hi Pauline!

I found your website and it's awsome! You seem to know a lot about naturism, and the quemistry of nutrition. I hope you can help me 'cause I have a question that is almost tormenting me. I'm mexican, so I'll do my best to be understood: I've been in the Zone Diet over a year and a half (40% carbs mostly fruits and vegetables, 30% protein, 30% good fats (mono and poliinsaturate, omega's)). I'm recently vegetarian, and it has been dificult to obtain my 30% protein. I eat tofu, gluten, soy, and sometimes fish and eggs. Also I'm studing Naturism, and I learned in Trofology that you can't mix some kinds of food like protein and cereal or starch, fruits have to be taken alone, different kinds of protein can't be mixed too, etc... Because this mixtures makes a poor digestion, and the important thing is what you digest and absorve, not what you put in your mouth. I believe with all my heart in the ZONE diet, but also Trofology makes a lot of sense to me, but in practice they opose. I have to eat fruits alone but then, where do I put my protein? Could I eat a plate of one fruit, and one hour later eat protein? Or what do you think about this? How could I find the right balance between this two ways of thinking, that I feel they are both right? I hope you can help me. In the meanwhile, I'll "religiously" read your blog. THANKS! Hi.
