Food combination diets for weight loss
Food combination diets such as the Zone and Fit for Life plans are
based on the idea that certain combinations of food will help a person lose
weight. These diets may cause weight loss, but that is because they are low in
calories, not because of a combination of foods. They are very hard to follow
over time because they are so restrictive.
There is no scientific evidence that particular food combinations are
needed to lose weight.
