    How many calories are you eating? Are you getting enough fats? for me, getting healthy fat is key to getting the pipes moving. Also, coffee...

    Also! (sorry I have a lot of opinions on this topic), it's a very psychological problem for me. If I'm stressed out at all, I won't go. It's important to make sure you're relaxed, breathing through your news (sends signals to your brain that everything is fine), and to not get too frustrated on days when you don't go.

    Also, avoid bananas. I know that's controversial and many people have no problems with them, but if this is already a problem for you, cut bananas out of your diet.

    Yes, many people find it hard to go with only 1200 cals (myself included). I would add fat and replace non-fat proteins with full-fat ones.

    Maybe you don't have good pooping genetics and it's more difficult for you. Try some coffee in the morning too.

    I cant help but think you should be eating more than 1200 cals also. If you are an avtice person that is just not enough....on the subject though, lemon water helps me.....

    Don't worry about it. If you're only eating 1200 calories (I can't help but agree that that's not enough), it might just take two days.

    When I was only eating 1,200 calories a day I didn't poop everyday.

    ...or maybe your body is more efficient at using what it takes in.

    Does blending the fruit and veggies into liquid destroy the fibre they contain?

    My doc had me on Clearlax daily. Now I don't need it since I added chia seeds to my diet.

    What a crappy topic, such a waste of a post, I'm pretty sure when moderators get off the pot they will dump the whole load of replies.

    Are you on medications? Have you talked to a doctor about having them give you something to help you out there?

    Speak to your doctor, hon. If you're on any medication to treat mental illnesses it may be impacting the whole pooping thing.

    The only other honest advice I can say is that I've heard negative results of fiber "supplements" vs. actually eating an apple or any other source of fiber from food.

    Tip: Apples keep stuff moving for many people? Add to the fruit you're already eating if it's not already incorporated.
