I used to eat a lot of fast food. At least 8 meals a week was either taco bell or wendys. The impact this had on my digestive system was horrible. I would poop like maybe every 4 days. Sometimes longer. Then there would always be that one day where my system would say ok, today is the day and I would have these marathon poop sessions numerous times in one day. I honestly thought that this was just the way it was supposed to be.

Since I've been using this site and have changed my diet there has been a huge and welcome change. I now poop every day usually before 9:30am. I feel so healthy.

I still eat fast food every once in a while but no where near as much as I did before.

Here's a sample menu for healthy pooping.

7:00am 1 bowl of raisin bran with 1% milk
9:30am 1 protein plus power bar or.
12:30pm grilled chicken salad from McDonalds or Subway <---- fast food
1:30pm an apple
3:30pm 2 servings of reduced fat cottage cheese.
4:30pm a banana
5:30pm 20 multi grain saltines or pretzles
6:30pm grilled chicken with Rice and green beans.

I try to drink about 1 gallon of water a day. I also sometimes have a non-diet Dr. Pepper <----- my weakness.

So anyway, my colon thanks all of you for your diet and healthy eating advice. :eat:

My movements have been pretty bizarre for me too. I can get up at 6, go sit on the toilet, and nothing. I then shower, get ready for work, eat and get to work at 7. An hour later *BAM*. It all hits at once.

Every day @ 8:30. I can set my watch by it. I also eat 2-2.5 times RDA of fiber though. Occasionally I'll have a 2-a-days where it is 8:30 and around 5.

I had to click on this thread...lol

Only thing I have to add is that I'm making a big "adjustment", so to speak, going from cutting to bulking...

Seems like the restroom is my second home.

lol, this is great. :lol:

every day as soon as i get home from work, either 5 pm or 6:30pm. Soon as i step foot in the door. like clockwork.

also it seems like 10 minutes after i eat one of my main meals there it goes again.

For me it's every morning within the first couple of hours (coffee helps to move things along), and then after that anywhere from 1-3 more that day. This on 1800 calories/day.

I really have nothing to add other than to say I laughed at the title of this topic and it caused me to have to poop. :rolleyes:

Well, I must say that I've seen a noticeable difference in the pooping department during the last few weeks that I've been eating clean.

Before my stomach was quite, shall we say, "loose" and eating the breakfast triggered always quite a movement... The toilet sessions could last 10...20 minutes.

But nowadays the poop is quite "dry" and consistent and easy to dump. And I'm usually in and out from the toilet in <5 minutes and that's it.

I'm wondering why I read this thread.:lol:

haha, this thread made me laugh so hard. Ever since ive changed my eating habits and excersize habits, ive been going to #1 and #2 so much its not even funny. I think my diet is working! lol

15-20min poop ? Wow! even 5min. is long for me:) I'm in and out!

But I do poop before working out then maybe up to 2 more after working out.. I never did more then 1 aday until I started working out.. :D

quite why I am talking about pooping on my first time here i dont know but here goes, much better since working out but still only every two days! not too good but think my new eating will chane that. oh and seeing my new workout routine my fitness instructor has set me next week is almost certain to make me poop myself!
any advice welcome

With a desire to carry this thread to news lows I'll add a test for the health of poop--I'm so proud of myself. I scored an eight.

Cool.. I'm going out right now to buy a scale! :eek:

Dude, just weight yourself before and after and subtract... ;)

explain how to do the toothpaste test then! LOLOL :lol:

Whew,

I just have to say that I was VERY reluctant to read a thread titled "Pooping" with an attachment icon next to it.

Meh, curiosity becomes me.

Well, I do it once every 1.5 days I guess, but when I was on a vegan diet, whooooaaaa that was a lot of pooping.2 times a day usually, but during the first 2 weeks it was easily 3-4 times until my body adapted to the ammount of fiber I was having.

Hahaha I had to be listening to Roses by Outkast when I was reading this test... completely a coincidence and not about the same thing... but it still made me laugh.

Dude, just weight yourself before and after and subtract... ;)

That only works if you have a scale accurate to .1 lbs or less. Most scales round to the nearest pound or half pound, and 200g is just short of a half pound. :p

Fortunately I just bought this scale (http://products.consumerguide.com/cp/family/review/index.cfm/id/23531).

Dude, this morning: 100.6kg before and 100.5kg after... :D

Yeah, eating clean just makes me ...well clean.
I go 1 or 2 times a day. If i cheat , i'm like the other poster, takes about 3 days to eliminate everything ..then wham! Not mention being gassed up for a couple of days...ever smell Met-Rx mixed with mexican food! HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!! :whistle:

many of you were very attractive people before i read this thread :lol: :lol:


JK you're all still nice people even if defecation is a hot topic for you lol

I feel this thread should be bumped as many of the newer members haven't read it.

you're a sick man, George.

While eating clean, do you notice that you have to use much less toilet paper after you go? ;]

Boy, these moments of caring and sharing really bring a tear to my eye. The casting out of societal barriers and arbitrary mores as we all get together in a beautiful and intimate experience of deep interconnectedness by sharing our poop stories just chokes me up every time. http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/cry2.gif Now let's hold hands and sing kumbaya.

Poop obsession is so universal I think it could bring peace on earth. :cool:

Last summer I went on a boat trip in the Indonesian jungle. Late at night, me and my gf were sitting in our sleeping bags on the deck, while the Indonesian captain and cook were lying on the deck below. Me and my gf were quietly talking about the adventures of that day, when suddenly I let one rip. I don't know why, but the quietness of the jungle combined with the wooden boards I was sitting on made it sound so loud it was amazing.

The four of us had to laugh so hard, we all cried! :lol:

Yellow faeces is healthy? wtf?

I'll have to add some yellow dye to my protein shakes or something

So according to the HEALTHY FECES chart, Mr. Hanky from South Park is considered to be unhealthy?

I wake up at 7am and eat breakfast, wait like 20-30 minutes, and then go to the bathroom at around 7:45 every morning, I'm very regular :-)

And why am I reading this thread during my lunch break???

Quite an interesting topic though...

You can poop up to 4 times a day? Someone call Guiness!!!!! :eek:

Is that toilet paper you're holding in your avatar?

You know what's the worst? When the moment hits you while doing cardio!! OMG :(

Is that toilet paper you're holding in your avatar?

Yes, I'm showing everyone how much I have to use to wipe my ass after I take a sh-, err, poop. ;)

No actually it's a sign I made but since I had to shrink it you can't see what it says.

I just want to know:

Does it lower your testosterone or energy levels if you take a crap b/4 your workout? Should you hold it until afterwards if you have to go before your workout? :D

Please conduct proper research and report back. :nod:

I've read in the past that this all depends on the "squeeze" factor. Consistency counts. For example, if you're poop is toothpaste texture it doesn't burn as much energy to expell as would a harder poop. :D
Therefore I would assume it's ok to sueeze a soft poop pre- workout.

What a horrible horrible mental image. Thank you so much :d_eek:

Personally, I prefer a fasted poop first thing in the morning.

We're just not gonna let this go huh. :confused:
OK, my thoughts on fasted poop. Not enough substance. Just a little more than a fart. In my opinion it can lead to overtraining of the anal sphincter which is bad mmmmkay. :D

Hmmm.. did you try stretching before or after?

Not lettin' this one go either Ryan? :confused: I wonder what Freud would say about this. I'll see you back at the sex/workout thread!

i seriously hate seeing this thread title on the main forum page. :lol:

Geez, why am I not surprised to find you back here? :whistle:

i have no reply to that.

The last page and a half of this thread had me laughing so hard, I have to count it as cardio.

Heh. What's next? "How much do you squeeze your glutes to pinch off a turd on the john"? ;]

Heh. What's next? "How much do you squeeze your glutes to pinch off a turd on the john"? ;]

Not with this crowd. Most of the guys prefer compound movements and I believe glute squeezes would be considered an isolation "movement". :D

Hey man! Funny to see you back here too!

I have not had this much fun and laughing on JSF in a long time...just funny the topics that come up and the common themes that can be seen in them for good humor...

Yeah, i will see you around!

Actually, I usually push my feet against the sides of the stall for leverage (during the more intense intestinal battles) in a lateral faux squat position which functionally maximizes both quads and hammies during the more strenuous and perilous key moments. This "stimulation" also spawns additional test and HGH production and is better for overall development. http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/flush.gif http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/flush.gif http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/flush.gif http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/flush.gif http://smiley.onegreatguy.net/flush.gif

Haha. Those smilies are funny.

If you pee-pee while you poop I guess that would be considered compound too. :D I'm having trouble letting this die!!! :whistle:

Because it's not on page 10 yet? ;]

Can we make this thread a "sticky"?

The topic might even warrant its own sub-forum.

sorry for interrupting the fun.
I'm seeing a lot of change since I've been eating healthier in this area.
Is it normal to do this once a day?
is it normal to be somehow really regular around the time you do it?

I though the normal was once every other day.like 4 or 5 times a week?

feeling rather :o for asking these questions :rolleyes:

Nothing wrong with a daily poop lol. Ever since I've been eating like a mad cow, I have had to take a crap after taking a crap. Slightly annoying to say the least, but there's nothin' like cleaning the ol' colon while reading the latest on Pig Boy in the Esquire.

I'd be concerned if I DIDN'T poop once a day. :D

Haha.

I'm pushing an average of four times/day right now, on 3600 calories/day and a good bit of fibre. I don't know if I ever hit five, but I rarely hit as little as 2 and only sometimes 3. As a kid I remember once going 5 days, back in grade 10.

I'm reasonably regular, too, starting off early and then it tapers down as the day gets on.

wow... can't believe I read this, and am replying to it!

Anyway, I started eating clean about a month ago, and I am going 3-4 times a day! Before I was only having my morning "drop the kids off at the pool" session....

hahaha...

cheers...
