Need to ask...trouble pooping anyone?

I have trouble pooping when restricting calories. It's not that I am constipated it just doesn't happen. I get rid of the liquid but not the solid. Anyone else with this problem?

Are you eating enough fibre? Drinking enough water? These things will help move things along. Drinking coffee also helps some.

Embarrassing, but a very valid question. I've noticed that I go a lot less too. Not constipated and do eat enough fibre etc., I just figured it's a mass-in mass-out situation. I'm not consuming as much so there's not as much to come out again. I don't think it's anything to be worried about unless it's really been a long time and you feel sick or uncomfortable or something.

In addition to water and fiber, make sure you're also getting enough healthy fats in your diet. I think a lot of people start dieting and do too many low- or no-fat foods.

Scoop a few servings of this into a glass of water:

Then prepare for it.
