juicing after eating?
Posted by: Lizard ()

Hello Everyone,

I hope all is well with everyonesmiling smiley Just a quick question, is it okay if I eat at 3:00pm a large salad and then have a green juice for dinner at like 5:30pm-6:00pm? I know my digestion is impaired, therefore I'm 100% positive that my stomach isn't empty when I drink my juice. But I'm wondering if maybe this isn't a great thing to do. I notice when I juice my dinner after eating a salad at 3pm that I feel bloated and backed up the next morning. Can anyone shed some sunlight on this for me? Thanks in advancesmiling smiley

You should always juice as the first thing (besides water) you eat during the day otherwise it will just bloat you if your stomach isn't completely empty.

For the best digestion eat the fastest digesting foods first in your day and the slowest digesting foods last as a daily timing sequence. Also simple meals like mono meals digest more easily then complicated meals that consist of many foods. The best signal you'll ever get for when to eat is a hunger signal so if your in doubt just wait for a slight hunger signal and then you'll know that your body is ready to receive more food. If you get a slight hunger signal the food in your stomach has cleared the pyloric valve [en.wikipedia.org] and so you don't need to be as attentive to food sequencing for that meal. smiling smiley

Lizard,

I'd have the green drink for lunch and the salad for dinner. Your body is telling you to do this anyway, right? : )
