Howard Hay diet meal plan

Hay diet meal plan

Maintaining the body in good condition does not depend only on physical activity. Practicing sport is one thing, a proper diet - it is another. How should you eat to always gush with energy?


The recipe is simple. It is enough to follow Dr. Hay's recommendations. The separation diet he invented in the 1930s was based on his knowledge of tavern processes in the body. Dr. Hay, who had kidney disease and only had an adequate diet to cure it, divided the foods into groups that are digested differently, using different enzymes to digest them.

Dr. Hay noticed that proteins and carbohydrates are found in the body separately for about 3-4 hours. However, consumed in one meal, they can digest up to 10 hours. This means that the body does a lot of work all the time. Additionally, it is a bit like a Sisyphus work. Why? Every day we eat on average from 3 to 5 meals. The conclusion is that there is no ten-hour break between them. So the food is never completely digested and rots in the stomach, releasing toxins that are dangerous to health. Dr. Hay's diet ensures that the body cleans itself quickly and enters the right mode of work.

So what's Dr. Hay's prescription? 

It consists in not combining certain groups of products. Hay has divided them into three categories.
  • Proteins (cooked meat and fish, eggs, milk, cheese)
  • Carbohydrates (bread, groats, pasta, potatoes, bananas, breakfast cereals, muesli)
  • Neutral (cottage cheese, butter, yoghurts, kefirs, fruit, vegetables)
It prohibited the blending of protein and carbohydrate products. Therefore, if we prepare meals, they should consist either of proteins or carbohydrates alone or they can be combined with neutral products. In this way, the diet does not lead to shortages, it provides all the nutrients necessary for the future because it is not based on nutritional exclusions. You can eat anything, but in the right combination. The body should be provided with 5 daily meals. Each of them should be preceded by a glass of water or herbal tea.
