A separated meal from Dr. William Hay.
Strictly scientific proofs in support of a separate meal - a diet developed by American doctor William Hay in the beginning of a century - are not present. Doctor Hay never confirmed, that a meal on his system will cure illnesses, he considered, that his diet can remove obstacles in a way of curing force of the nature. In his opinion, many illnesses, for example an arthritis, the stomach ulcer, an allergy, etc., speak infringement of chemical conditions in an organism which is in turn caused by unlimited consumption of meat and the refined carbohydrates, bad digestion and locks. Doctor Hay considered, that it is impossible to eat simultaneously fibers and carbohydrates because for their digestion various conditions are required: the sour environment for fibers and alkaline for carbohydrates. That Doctor Hay underestimated universality of digestive system of the person, usually capable to consult both with that, and with another. In a stomach there is an acid which promotes digestion of fibers while in thin intestines - alkali for digestion of carbohydrates.
Doctor Hay recommended, that the amount of the products increasing a level of alkali in blood (vegetables, salads, the majority of fruit, milk), in a food allowance in 4 times exceeded weight of the food increasing acidity of gastric juice (all animal protein, the majority of kinds of nuts, all carbohydrates and citrus). Such proportion meets to a ratio of acid and alkaline components in the liquids allocated by an organism. However he did not consider that fact, that the organism has own adjusting system which can resist to excessive receipt and acids, and alkalis.
The diet of Doctor Hay is useful to those who with its help tries to change habits in meal and to refuse from overeat. In many books the diet of Doctor Hay - a good way to grow thin is spoken, that, however loss of weight in this case is connected with reduction of consumption of fats and restriction of meal by one basic kind of food.

Some aspects of a diet of Doctor Hay coincide with modern principles of a healthy meal: it is necessary to eat more fruit and vegetables, completely grain and amyloid products and to limit consumption of fats. Carbohydrates in a diet of Doctor Hay cover about half of total of calories that corresponds to recommendations of modern dieticians, but the share of sugar is a little above. The statement of Doctor Hay of that the human body is not capable to digest simultaneously fibers and starch, as a whole by dieticians and physicians is not divided. However the similar diet can approach people with illnesses of a digestive path. Many doctors believe, that the diet of Doctor Hey helps at duodenitis and a ulcer of a duodenal gut.
