How long does it take for food to digest? The only thing quick about fast food is the time it takes to race through the drive-thru. When it comes to our digestive system, it can take hours or even longer for food to pass through. That's what it takes for the body to get the nutrients and energy it needs from what you ingest. It usually takes from 24 to 72 hours for healthy people to completely digest food and eliminate waste products. The first stop for food is the esophagus, which moves food from the back of the throat to the stomach. About six to eight hours after eating, food passes through the stomach and small intestine.
It takes only seconds for physical food to reach the physical stomach. However, the feeling of fullness is not determined by the filling of the stomach, but by an increase in blood sugar, which tells the brain you no longer need food. 20 minutes is the average time that this takes for a meal that includes some fat, some carbs and some proteins. If it is a protein only meal or one that is high in fat, it can take 40 minutes to an hour because the stomach must first digest the proteins into useable carbs before sending them to the bloodstream. Only then does the blood sugar rise and signal full to the brain.
