EVERYONES OPINION ON PUREE FOOD?

[gridlock]

last night after getting in from training I just didnt have the hunger that I needed to eat.

I ended up getting some grilled chicken and liquidising it with warm water and eating it with some blended up pasta.

Kinda reminded me of baby food but in fact didnt taste too bad and was real easy to eat.

Anyways, usually i'll be sat there with bad indigestion after I eat which is kind of standard issue for me nowadays and I think its something to do with the stomach ulcer.

But oddly enough, I didnt have any indigestion pains and I actually felt real good last night and managed to get my food all in.

I was just wondering if people do this and how it makes them feel.

cheers. I'll have a read.

to be honest its going to probably be like most things. works for some not others. I get bad acid because of my ulcer but didnt suffer from it last night.

I didnt puree my food last night but i thought ide give me insight on what i did last night.. I had me a chicken breast(bout 8 oz) with 2 cups of rice, with brown gravy added on top of this. I dont know if your cutting for a show or not but i swear i could suck that food right down without having to chew forever. And no indigestion, i felt great. I did the same thing with the mashed potatoes as well.

anyone have a reason why food would settle better this way or pureed?

Maybe it just depends on the person just like everything else.

I have panic disorder which really messes with my appetite... I don't puree food but I've learned to get most of my carbs from stuff like raisins, dried fruits and juice which doesn't fill you up at all but is loaded with calories. You can do gatorade shots..... 4 scoops of gatorade powder in a shot glass (60g carbs) and it goes down in about 3 seconds, it tastes awful but it works.
Apples are awesome if you have a juicer, about 20g of carbs for the large ones, throw five in a juicer and that's 100g of carbs in about half a cup of juice.

i don't know if im ready to drink my chicken and tuna.... but if I can get it to taste halfway decent I will.

I had the pleasure of talking with Phil Hill and he said he wouldn't not only get woken up during the night to slurp down a dozen egg whites but he would also use a Vita-mixer to puree meals to make his own baby food. Its easier to digest. Less digestive enzymes needed.

but doesnt the lack of digestion needs, slow the metabolism of those foods? What i am asking is doesnt the body use more cals to burn the food as a whole vs the calories needed to burn BABY FOOD?

I posted something on the subject a while
ago and it went something like this . . .

Has anybody had digestion issues resulting
from the continued use of a blender? I know
I did when I used to use a blender on my
solid food and my protein shakes.

I suspect that all that aeration that occurs
when operating the blender to puree / emulsify
results in a large amount of oxidation of the
contents, a result of all the "microbubbles".
I think it's especially problematic if your
concoction sits for any length of time.

Personally, I would never have use a high-speed
blender. If I were going to drink my food, I
would grind it or compress it, never emulsify it.

Congregation on being the featured member. I've used a high speed blender for veggies and I get an awesome energy boost. Yet, all of the air that gets worked into it maybe why I find it so filling.

I won't leave the blended product laying around long.

I think i will try out the theory here pretty soon...we are really understaffed at work and i dont have alot of time to eat my meals so im gunna see how the puree thing works.

I tried this with tilapia, broccolli and rice. I couldn't get it down at all, kept making me gag. It was a good idea though

 

[Obnoxious123]

would taste a lot better if you just made a shake

something like

2 cups nonfat milk
1 cup oats (dry, grounded in a coffee bean grinder)
2 scoops whey
2 tbsp nut butter


throw in 5-6 ice cubes, blend, and enjoy
