Many people have asked me how to do the dissociated diet “without fail” and in a simpler way than the official one , also called the Hay diet . In fact, for those wishing to do the dissociated diet, I always recommend buying a book that teaches the correct food combinations, so as to be able to juggle better even in case of doubts about individual foods (for example: did you know that the egg yolk according to Can the Hay dissociated diet be eaten with pasta? Because it is considered a fat, or the fatty part of the egg. So for example a vegetarian carbonara, pasta, egg yolk and zucchini or other vegetables, is an acceptable dissociated dish).

But why do food combinations allow us to lose weight? First of all, it must be explained that the dissociated diet is always a theory , however, it has been seen that some food combinations are easily digested compared to others, thus reducing the annoyances from difficult digestion, intestinal fermentation of foods, abdominal bloating, water retention. Weight loss is a bit of a consequence of the benefits of the dissociated diet, but if that were the only reason for losing weight, it wouldn’t be a really good method.

In reality, in addition to the rules of food combinations, Dr. Hay envisaged a diet that was as natural as possible, that is, without too many foods of animal origin, and with a cooking as simple as possible. These are three things that make the dissociated diet a good weight loss diet:
1) food combinations that allow us to digest better, have a flatter stomach
2) a simple cuisine , which helps us eat less (also thanks to point one yes tends to eat a little less)
3) natural cuisine , which takes us away from ready-made, industrially processed and “messed up” foods

I recommend it for these reasons, and I propose a simplified version.
