The human gastrointestinal tract refers to the stomach and intestine, the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is 5 metres (20 ft) long in a live subject, or up to 9 metres (30 ft) without the effect of muscle tone, and consists of the upper and lower GI tracts.
In a healthy human adult this process can take between 24 and 72 hours. Food digestion physiology varies between individuals and upon other factors such as the characteristics of the food and size of the meal.[17]
So if it depends on the characteristics of food and the size of your meal then that means- red meat would be harder to digest and large meals would be hard to digest as well. Just think if you ate smaller meals and maybe became a vegetarian then you would lose weight. I also read their are different degrees of being a vegetarian.
There are a number of types of vegetarianism, which exclude or include various foods.
I just told my husband about this and he is all for it. So we are going to try to cut back on meats and eat more vegetables and fruits. We have already joined the YMCA and started exercising so now we have to fix our eating habits. I think it is disgusting for food to stay in my body for 72 hours before it leaves. I am changing my way of thinking in regards to my body and health. Anyways, it doesn't hurt to try something new. Maybe it will just work.
