    fiber, water, but also consider: if you are giving your body more "usable" (whole) foods than before, perhaps it's simply using them instead of disposing of them like the crap food?? (pun kind of intended...)

    There is a natural tea called 'Smooth Move" at health food stores. Warning, it is not smooth moving you may have fire coming out after an hour of drinking it. So I suggest doing it when you are at home for the day and make sure you drink a lot. Also, enemas work well too. Or the lemonade cleanse. water, lemon juice, maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Or just drink some salt water.

    Good luck.

    Haha, no worries. Eat a big salad everyday or at least a side salad with dinner and you should see some improvement. Lettuce is full of fiber and practically no calories, so it's a great natural way to get those BMs moving.

    Organic Smooth Move Senna Tea. I've heard great results from many people!

    That would be my suggestion too. I use it once a week to keep the pipes clean :wink:


    But actually it took me a while to realize that the reason I'm not going to poop as much is because I'm not eating as much as I used to. So I don't go everyday...no big deal. You'll get used to it.

    Raw psyllium husks are awesome or just eat green lentils or beans and drink coffee.

    OMG Coffee. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I hate when I just meet a guy and he wants to go out and "have coffee sometime". UGH! Just drink it!

    Quick and easy solution....

    1/2 a can of pinapple tidbits (crushed pinapple) with 1/4 cup raw rolled oats....

    if you eat this a few times a week, you will never have trouble pooping again! (plus its a nice snack!)

    Hi, Awesome job. More fiber, if your not crazy about taking it try the gummy fibers they work and you get the sweets too. Also in the morning start the morning before coffee with warm glass of water and lemon juice, gets the digestive system working and throught the day water, room temp water works for me. Hope this helps. Keep up the great work.

    Lots of good info here. I'd say, yes, adding fiber in different ways and drinking more water. More moving is always good as well. I myself have had that issue lately as my normal workout routine hasn't really been very existent lately. :cry:

    I've had that problem my whole life, not just because of dieting.
    When Activa yogurt came out, I had to try it! I have an Activa yogurt daily, wethere with breakfast or lunch.
    They have both regular and light and all the flavors taste great!
    Helps me stay regular! I KNOW when I've missed a day or two of my Activa! LOL

    All good info, but none of it works for me, I'm walking 8000 steps day more than I used to, I drink coffee all day, I eat psylium like candy, I eat loads of raw tomatoes, I drink 6-12 glasses of water a day as well as coffee and tea. I eat lots of beans

    I also started eating prunes last week

    When I ate badly and hardly exercised - no problem.

    I haven't read all the responses so sorry if this has already been said, but you also need to make sure you are getting enough fat. All the initial posts mentioned fiber and water, which is very important, but eating too low fat could also cause digestion problems even with enough fiber and water.

    Fat is high calorie, but it's also very good for you so don't go too low.

    Try taking metamucil - that should do the trick!
