A detailed guide to recipes and cooking for food combining and the Hay diet

I examined the ideas of Dr Howard Hay while studying for the gluten-free book. I thought Dr Hay got a very bad press for his original thoughts on a healthy diet, not least because some of the authors who have published books on his diet simply did not understand the scientific language he was using and misrepresented his ideas. The full text of Complete Food Combining - All you need to know about the Hay Diet is available here.

This was originally published as a book by Bloomsbury in 1996.

Update for 2020.

I strongly advocate the use of robust scientific evidence to make recommendations for a healthy lifestyle. This analysis follows in the next page.
