They're
naturally high in protein and fiber, but low in fat, and I've definitely noticed that
after eating a
meal containing pulses, I stay full for quite a while afterwards.
Regarding gastric emptying, I actually think that I may have
naturally - slow gastric emptying — which is made even slower by cinnamon, vinegar, and other things that are supposed to
naturally moderate blood sugar spikes — and this makes the GERD / acid reflux that I have (due to a hiatal hernia which was due to an unavoidable accident) worse, because some
meals that I am
eating are staying in my stomach for so long that I will still burp up gas from them and get acidic splashes at the back of my mouth from them 6 - 8 hours
after I have stopped all
eating for the day (whether I have stayed upright and awake all those hours or have gone to sleep
after the first 3 hours of not ingesting anything — 3 hours is the minimum time I put between
eating and lying down, to ward off acid reflux when I'm sleeping).
