This has probably been answered somewhere but i was curious on average digestion times of common RPD foods. I'm trying to fix my digestive system and trying to follow food combining and things like that. I don't eat all raw meat or anything yet but i know digestion is way quicker that way. I also know mono-meals seem to be the easiest for your body to process. So the things i eat in question are:
-rare/raw beef (ground, liver, heart, steaks, etc)
-raw marrow
-raw butter
-raw eggs
-raw nut butters
-raw/rare salmon sashimi
-avocado
-olive oil
-coconut oil
Don't feel like you have to answer them all =)

Sweet fruit digests the fastest, muscle meats are somewhere in between, fat probably takes the longest. Roughly.
-
except the coconut oil.... that's probably somewhere between the sweet fruit and meat.

Thanks guys, and everybody finds that chewing isn't as important when eating the raw/rare meats, eggs, avocados, etc?

Chewing will always improve digestion. Just avoid chewing acid stuff (bad for teeth).

I think it may be best NOT to chew raw meat, for digestion, energy, healing etc.

I've always found that not chewing raw meats makes digestion thereof easier.
-
maybe person specific huh
-
chewing the meat making the digestion worse makes no sense to me. How can more surface area make the food harder to digest?
-
I can't say I've noticed that, but I do know that I am not one for chewing it 32 times, even though theoretically it is better.

32? I thought it was 33 times AL Geeze ;D
