Having exposed the culprits, the step-by-step guide identifies alternatives from each food category—including lots of fruits, veggies, and good fats—and offers time-saving recipes, streamlined preparation steps, and hints on what amount of food should be consumed and in what combinations in order to achieve and maintain good digestion.
