As far as I know, the idea of food combining has been debunked and there's no scientific evidence that it has any value in health or weight loss.
If anything, it gets people to pay closer attention to the foods they eat, and that can be a good thing
We may choose healthier foods and pay more attention to quantities when following a plan like this.
That would help weight loss.

While this sounds good on paper, it appears to be more of a misuse of biochemical information than anything else, as there is no real evidence to show that food combining diets improve digestion or enhance weight loss.

From a medical point of view, there really is no reason to avoid any food combination except those that you find distasteful or physically unsettling. The human body is built to handle whatever foods you consume, regardless of whether you eat them separately or together.

Though food combining may be tempting, the reality is that it is based on a theory that has since been well and truly debunked by science.
