so when shud we eat this? as snacks instead?

Dr Gillian has a few pages on food combination, which is really interesting. Fruit should ALWAYS be eaten on its own. Normally I think 3 hours after protein and 4 hours after carbs (I am not sure on the hours, but something like this).
So yes, fruit can be eaten as a snack, but not directly after lunch or dinner. I also like something sweet after a meal. Heath thinks I am being absolutely ridiculous, but once again I think it is a women thing. I eat a teaspoon of peanut butter afterwards, this normally helps me. Or if I really am feeling naughty I tell myself once again to wait 20 minutes until your brain had time to tell your tummy it is full.
