Groups 1 & 2 do not mix well. Proteins need acid digestive juices and carbohydrates need alkaline juices.
Group 1 – Proteins
- Cheese, Milk & Yogurt
- Eggs
- Nuts & Seeds
- Fish & Shellfish
- Meat
- Young coconuts
- Poultry
- Soybeans, tofu and all soy products
- Dried beans & peas (legumes), these are sources of both proteins & starches
- Cereals – whole grains
- Olives
|
Group 2 – Carbohydrates/Starches
- Grains, including oats, pasta, rice, maize, millet

Group 3 – goes well with either proteins in Group 1 or carbohydrates in Group 2.
Group 3 – Non-starchy vegetables & others
- Green vegetables – cabbage, celery, asparagus, bok choy,
- Salads & fresh herbs – lettuce, endive, nasturtium leaves, parsley
- Olive oil
- Butter, cream, spreading fats
- Herbs, spices & seasonings
- Avoid eating avocado, nuts, seeds & coconut together in the same meal. Nuts & seeds in small portions are okay combined. Individually each of these 4 foods is good with green neutral veggies e.g. lettuce, spinach, celery, cucumbers. Avocados are also good with acid or sub-acid fruit.
- Tomatoes combine well with green and non-starchy veggies, avocados & protein.
