    Once I started eating better, I don't necessarily go every day, sometimes it's every other day. I can tell you that when I was fat and ate like crap it would be at LEAST once a day........

    Ew.

    Is it poop day? Someone else just posted something similar.

    Everyone is different, so there's not really a "set" normal. Doctors say a bowel movement once every day to three days is considered normal/average, but that it depends.

    The issue is that you WERE regular and now you're not--so you had a set bowel pattern that changed.

    Are your issues that you're constipated, or have diarrhea, odd stools, etc.?

    I have the same issue. I eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies and it is still an event when I finally go.

    It does depend on whats normal for you, but I would say at least once a day is a good goal to reach. Add beans and veggies if you are having problems reaching that goal.

    When I ate fast food everyday, yes, but it was because my body was trying to get the *kitten* literally and figuratively out of my system.

    Now? No, like every other day. Depends on your fiber and water intake.

    I usally go 2 times a day.... Your supposed to go every time you eat a meal... Thats the bodies natural response to eating food. It wants to make room for the next meal

    Eating fiber is awesome.. but if you aren't flushing it down the pipes with water.. a nice amount of water.. you're just bulking your poo.

    "Regular" has different meanings for different folks.

    Are you uncomfortable with the rate at which you're going? The actual experience of going? If the answer is yes, you probably should check with your doc.

    It takes 8-12 hours to fully digest food. Do you think your morning poop is from you sleep eating?

    You should do #2 everyday. Exercise + fiber + water = bowel movements!
