Fruits takes the least amount of time to digest, so I eat it first thing in the morning. Since I started doing this I have found that my digest system runs a lot smoother. After my fruit, I have a veggie sandwich, my favorite is cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, with Vegenaise on Ezekiel bread. I also enjoy bowls of vegetable soup, yes even in the summer.Vegetables also digest at a fast rate, and if you want to have a salad with veggies and fruit, you are good to go.
Now because I do love meat and refuse to give it up I eat it for the last meal of the day. I have also cut back on portion size, except for fish. Fish is the fastest digesting meat it only takes 30-60 minutes depending on the type. As a matter of fact on Sundays for breakfast the southern man cooks up a bunch of Swai. Swai is a catfish from Thailand and is more tender than the catfish from the States. We love it with capers, yeah we eat fish for breakfast, and it is so good.
Do you eat veggie sandwiches? What is your favorite?
I agree with you about vegan cheese, but was surprised to find I like veganaise.
ReplyDeleteYes, I was surprised how much like real mayonnaise vegenaise tastes.
DeleteHi Joyce,
ReplyDeleteIt was so interesting to read that you are adjusting what and when you eat certain foods during the day in view of the time they take to digest. This is such an important topic because so many of us suffer from digestive problems and poor nutrient absorption because we are not eating properly. Thank you so much for enlightening us at the Plant-based Potluck Party. I appreciate it. Sharing and pinning this!
Deborah you point out an interesting point I did not think about. There is alot of digestive issues in our society today. However, I think that not only the order in which we eat our food causes issues, but also the GMOs. If people would stop eating GMOs, and eat for the digestive system I would be curious to see the results.
DeleteThose are great facts to learn! I like vegan cheese, but it took a while to adjust to it. I just can't digest real cheese:( Great post!!! Thanks for sharing it at Together on Tuesdays :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of timing your food based on digestion...I'll have to learn more!
ReplyDeleteThe more I learn about our body the more I wonder why we didn't learn this stuff in science. I also wonder why doctors don't tell these things.
DeleteFood combining can be really helpful for people for sure! I am a Holistic Nutritionist and have seen a difference when I eat aware of that, and when I don't :) thanks for sharing on Share Your Stuff Tuesdays!! Hope you come back next week!
ReplyDeleteI'm learning a lot with this post!! Keep em coming! thanks for linking up to What You Wish Wednesday. come back tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThis pretty interesting. I played around with food combining several years ago and lot a bunch of weight, but I just couldn't keep it up. I still sometimes do the just fruit in the morning thing, though. Thanks so much for linking up to WYWW!
