BodyFat.Tips Desk

The BodyFat.Tips Desk is the research and editorial operation behind BodyFat.Tips, a publication of TAK Marketing, LLC, part of the Omnishun information systems. It is a desk, not a person: no headshot, no invented bio, no borrowed credentials. Every verdict here is produced by reading the research itself rather than the press release, rating how strong the evidence actually is on a fixed four-point scale, tracing where the claim came from, and correcting in public when we get something wrong. Nobody pays us to reach a conclusion. This is journalism, not medical advice — take personal health questions to a clinician. How we work, in detail: bodyfat.tips/how-we-read-a-study/

Don't eat protein with starch: the rule has been sold since 1929. Its claim about the stomach was tested in 1934 and 1936 and failed. The diet got one real trial, in 2000, and the food-combining group lost slightly less weight. Whether it eases bloating has not been trialled, as far as we could find.
