becoming regular (tmi )

is it normal when upping cals to become more regular ?

  • That was my experience. I was having a lot of regularity problems before finding EMTWL and a lot of them have been solved by eating more. It's like all my systems went back online! I'm sure it was because I was finally giving my body all it needed nutrition wise and then some.

    That's exactly what happened to me. My digestion was all screwed up (from undereating and fasting, although I didn't know/realise it at the time) for awhile. I was even going to doctors to figure out what was wrong (and why I was gaining weight and unable to lose), then ran test after test (blood, stool, stomach acid, etc...). Every one of them knew how little I was eating, and not one suggested that might be the root issue.
    I was even doubly afraid to eat more because I was often in pain and uncomfortable. When I did finally start to eat more, suddenly things started working again.
