It’s one of our favorite Marilu-isms!

Make sure you chew your food. Your stomach doesn’t have teeth. Unless you chew every single bite, you’re not going to lose weight, you’re not going to get the nutrients, you’re not going to have a clean colon, you’re not going to digest properly.

You’re eating whole grains, you’re eating legumes, you’re eating vegetables – all foods with fiber. Make sure you chew. The ideal is fifty chews per bite, but aim for at least thirty. Of course, counting your chews is kind of odd, so try this – chew each bite until it’s so liquified you could drink it.
