Food combining (also known as trophology) is a term for a nutritional approach that advocates NOT consuming specific combinations of foods, such as not mixing carbohydrate-rich foods and protein-rich foods in the same meal. The interactions of food types during digestion is central to good health, ideal digestion, and even weight loss. The mechanical movement within the intestines, called peristalsis or peristaltic waves, is separate but related to digestive chemistry.
One benefit of this approach to eating is that foods that move through the intestines more quickly are ahead of the slower, more dense foods. Generally, fruit is quick, carbohydrates are moderate and proteins are sluggish in the body. Food combining recommends meals in sequential order (i.e. melons and fruits first, than starches with vegetables, than proteins with vegetables) to allow each layer of food to process in your stomach at their required acid/alkaline balance. This method also optimizes velocity and chemical absorption of nutrition from chyme, the food within intestines.
One randomized controlled trial study of the efficacy of food-combining for weight loss in the peer-reviewed medical literature found no evidence that it was any more effective than a "balanced" weight loss diet.
The Hay diet is one food combining diet that distinguishes between types of digestion.
