DIGESTION - is like buttoning buttoning a long coat - if the first button is not done right, none of the others line up. Each discrete process relies on the integrity of the preceding organ. Grhandi said "eat your drinks, drink your food". Savour slowly the liquids, and chew solids until they almost run down your throat. 80% of CHO digestion will then take place in your mouth. You will gain peace of mind from- eating slowly,- you will feel satiated earlier, and eat less! !. '2-FRUIT - always eat it alone, as a snack, or at least 20 minutes before a meal', it digests quickly thereby giving giving plentiful nutrients. Less helpful as a dessert.

Optimal protein - 15% of total energy intake(4 cal/g). Some authorities advise 44g/day @ 1501bs.
