Chapter 2
The Physiology
of Digestion
and
Weight Loss
The Journey of Food
Digestion and Absorption of Fat
• Minimal digestion in mouth, esophagus and stomach.
• Fully digested in small intestine with hormones and
enzymes.
• Emulsified via bile, bile produced in liver.
• Converted into monoglycerides, glycerol and free fatty
acids.
• Glycerol and short- and medium – chained absorbed into
blood stream, longer chains enter the lymphatic system.
• 1 gram of dietary fat = 9 kilocalories
Digestion and Absorption of
Carbohydrates
• Digestion begins in the mouth with saliva and salivary
amylase.
• In the stomach amylase removed via stomach acid.
• Presence of fiber slows process down.
• In small intestine enzymes breakdown disaccharide
molecules.
• Fiber is digested in the large intestine.
• Monosaccharides are absorbed through the intestinal wall
into the blood stream, converted into glucose by liver.
• 1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 kilocalories
Digestion and Absorption of Protein
• Very little digestion occurs until protein reaches the
stomach.
• Hydrochloric acid begins to detangle & denature protein
bonds preparing for further digestion in small intestine.
• In small intestine broken down into peptides, amino acids
& chains.
• Amino acids absorbed through the intestinal wall into
blood stream.
• 1 gram of protein = 4 kilocalories
Chapter 3
Macronutrients
Fats
• Essential for health, required for cell formation, transporting vitamins
A,D,E & K, feeling of fullness, hormone function, protects organs,
necessary for nerve transmission.
• Efficient fuel source.
• Types of fat
● Saturated Fats
● Conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs)
● Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFAs)
● Omega - 9
● Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs)
● Omega – 3, Omega – 6,
• Should make up between 20 - 40% total daily
calories
Carbohydrates
• Highly processed, moderately processed, whole, naturally occurring,
unprocessed, high fiber, simple, complex etc
• Provide vital energy to bodily tissues and organs.
• Fiber found in whole-food carbohydrate sources.
• Potential harmful effects of processed carbohydrates.
• Glycemic load
• Should make up 25 – 55% of total daily calories
Protein
• Second largest percentage of bodily material 45%.
• Needed for growth and repair, bodily function and energy.
• Made of 21 amino acids.
● 9 Essential must be obtained from diet
● 12 Non-essential are produced by the body
• Essential in losing excess body fat.
● Muscle sparing
● Satiating
● Manages blood sugar and insulin.
● Less likely stored as fat
• Should make up between 25 – 35% total daily
calories.
