Food combining (also known as trophology) is a term for a nutritional approach that advocates specific combinations of foods as central to good health and weight loss (such as not mixing carbohydrate-rich foods and protein-rich foods in the same meal). One randomized controlled trial of food combining has been performed, and found no evidence that food combining was any more effective than a "balanced" diet in promoting weight loss.
Watermelon and other melons are recommended to be consumed separately from other foods.
