Food should be predominantly in liquid form and ONLY till the point that one feels satiation. In normal heath conditions , if some one feels the stomach getting full / ”stretched” after consuming food , it implies over consumption.Half the stomach is to be filled with food and one fourth with water. Remaining one fourth is very space to aid normal physiology of digestion.
