just curious..thin deli meat vs. real meat

So I am at a point in my diet where in introducing thin cut deli meat, chicken breast/ turkey and ground hamburger...everything meat wise on the above list goes down well with no pain or stuck feeling except thin sliced deli meat.....my question is why....deli meat is super thin and the other meats are more dense? Just wondering. -Bri-

Maybe because most deli meats are formed meat?  Maybe the salt content of the meat makes it more difficult to break down?

I don't know why really.  I experience the same as you.  I kind of like that it stays in my pouch longer...keeps me feeling full for longer.  Now, if I don't chew it well, it is uncomfortable, but if I chew it well, I am simply aware of it being in my pouch.

deli meat has additives that may disagree with you
