Hay diet also called as Dr. Hay diet is a diet plan that was developed in 1920 by a New York Physician, Dr. William Howard Hay. He recovered from acute heart plus kidney disease and high blood pressure by just eating naturally (combining the right food types).
He lost all the excess weight he had put on to become healthy yet again. This diet follows the age old tradition of giving the body what it needs and letting it heal by itself. Providing the right food for the body and removing all the unwanted food that would cause interruption to the body functioning is the main principle of this diet. In this diet plan food items are separated from one another into groups. The three major groups are acid, alkaline and neutral groups. Acid food groups like fish, dairy, meat etc that are rich in protein are not combined with alkaline food groups like starch food, rice, wheat, grains, potatoes etc that are rich in carbohydrate.
