According to the author, nutritionist A. V. Volkov, for the digestion of different types of food, special enzymes and different times are needed. Therefore, you should not mix in one step products that differ too much in the specified parameters.

you should take food only when you feel hungry;
you can choose any diet, but at least 2 hours should pass between meals;
3 liters of water should be consumed per day, with the first liter before breakfast;
