One more way for us to know if we are doing things right.0

I love reading about floating poop first thing in the morning LOL!!!
Off to drink some skim milk and check my...um...results0 -
what if it takes 2 or 3 flushes, a local witchdoctor and a small group outside your bathroom window chanting words of encouragement as well as a toilet cistern mounted in the ceiling, just to let get gravity get thst extra "ooomph" behind it, is that just me or do others have the same daily experience about 8 times a day??0

Surely the best thing to do is moderate your fat intake and convert to healthy fats? Fat is important in a balanced diet.
This sounds like 'get some calcium, eat a shedload of McDonalds, but don't worry because you'll poop it out'.
Either way I hope this doesn't turn into some type of diet book... Here's mine:
1) Eat a balanced diet with a calorie deficit.
2) Exercise (cardio and weights).
3) Monitor bodyfat % and not just weight.
4) When at target body fat move to maintenance and continue 2).
How can we have 10,000 books when the principles are so simple?0 -
I've also heard that the darker your urine the more dehydrated you are - and you need to drink more water. "Healthy" urine should be only very faint yellow.
This is correct..But don't worry about the dark colour of a morning as this is usually........0 -
I have heard the same thing in the past.
I take viactiv calcium chews.0 -
How do you change your calcium maximum? I think mine is set at just 100.....0

What if it goes 'clink?'
Sounds like you're a little 'heavy' on the mineral supplements :laugh:0 -
This is true if you drink a small glass of milk after each meal it supposedly binds to the fat you just ate and then it can't be absorbed in this state obviously take care and drink a semi skimmed or skimmed variety0

I think poop is an excellent way to chart your health. I had a girl tell me once that she NEVER looks at her poop. Come on - seriously? How can you not!? It is like your body's diary!

calcium is tracked by percentage. So the 100 is 100% of what you should be getting on a daily basis, leading to believe that it means 1200 mg Happy tracking!0

Did Dr. Oz provide the reference to the actual study? 1200 mg of Ca per day is the gov't recommendation, but it's an amount that is disputed by top researchers in Cornell and Harvard.0

This calcium thing has been out for ages... the suggestion is to eat more low fat dairy with food to help aid the reduction in absorption of fat in the intestine. I always have low fat dairy with my dinner.0

Floating poop = good.... gotcha!!0

This is correct but also its not harmful to do so and taking in more calcium whilst training can have great other benefits such as increasing the strength of bones, especially in young adolesecent women and younger women. This helps build bone density in their younger years whilst at the same time aiding them to perhaps lose weight.
Dairy can be low fat or fat free and rich in calcium and is a great source of it. And is an easy thing to add to most people's diets. For example, low/zero fat cottage cheese, low fat cream cheese, skimmed milk, low fat/fat free yoghurt... etc etc.
There is nothing wrong with what you've said too, but why NOT add in calcium...it certainly will be beneficial to becoming stronger physically and as a body!!!0 -

Thank you for my laugh this morning! :laugh:0 -
I just love the smart allecks of MFP0
-
Lol, have noticed my pop floats more on days when I've eat more dairy theed previous day, never thought it was a good thing, now loo know thanks0
-
I just set my macros to show calcium and MFP only sets it at 100.
I guess I should change it to 1200.
I looked at calcium yesterday as I'm supposed to eat a high calcium diet (my mum has severe osteoperosis and my dad osteoarthritis). According to MFP there was 0 calcium in the skimmed milk that I had and 0 calcium in the natural yogurt that I had!0
