#2I wonder what this means for GLP 1 drugs that slow digestion.

#4And if I flip flop between both?

#5I did quite some experimenting with this.
Fruit moves fastest and green leaves. Meat, cheese, oil and fats slowest.
But we often eat combinations: and the slowest component of your food determines the speed of the whole.
Also: it's a one lane road and "over taking" is not possible.
So, eating a fast moving meal after a slow moving meal results in the fast mover getting stuck behind the slow mover.
Hence I start my day without and slow food (only fruit, herbs, green leaves, spices, ginger => usually a smoothy); and end the day with slow food (oily food, nuts, seeds, beans; usually combined with green leaves as we need a lot green leaves).
YMMV

But interesting nonetheless, thanks for sharing your findings.

There have been alternative (often mad) health proponents who have insisted upon only eating fruit in the morning for years - similar(ish) reasons. I think there is probably something to it.

What do you mean, the human stomach is absolutely not a "one line road", your comments lacks the basic biological understanding. What you're describing is a good generic diet and maybe that's why it feels good but please learn a bit more about the stuff you are expetimenting on.

Interesting.
A great opportunity to add "YMMV"

I have a small following of people how also saw improvements doing this.
Then, I did not come up with this myself, but found a lot of anecdotals in this direction.
And... I comment on a real science piece that seems to be making similar claims.
