Eating healthy = less/clean poo?

It sounds to me like you're not drinking enough water/getting enough fiber. Irregular bowel movements can be pre-cursor symptoms to severe gallbladder problems, Pancreatic problems, Intestinal problems, etc. If you are getting enough fiber, and getting enough water (~ 1/2 a galon at least a day ), You should get yourself checked out. $40 at the docs could save a few grand on a surgery in the future.

A BM every 3 days is not healthy. 1-2 days tops is what it should be.

I've had digestion issues for a couple years now, and at one time I was going to the bathroom 4-5 times a day. I can't have tomato sauce (gives me bad gas and makes my crap red), and various other things that my body simply can't digest very well (like spinach and corn).

But since I started working out, and eating healthy (mainly chicken and broccoli), I'm down to 1, maybe 2, times a day. I also started eating a cup of yogurt every morning as part of my breakfast, which has helped get the "good" bacteria in my digestive tract.

But people going once a week? I'd hate to see the size of your colon.

EDIT: I drink nothing but water all day long. I always have a water bottle near by to sip on. Makes for healthy kidneys.

I do a sport where weight control is necessary, and I can definitely attest that when you drop carbs, you most definitely shit less often and in lower quantities. I drop carbs for basically the entire spring and summer and it makes a huge difference. Nothing really to worry about.

Glad to hear you're losing weight and enjoying it, I always love to hear when people discover that eating healthy and exercising actually makes you feel better. It's so underrated.

From my experience:
You know how awsome it is when you laid the smack down on the first go around and you're done in 1-2mins and you sometimes wonder "did I even poop alot?" and you look down and it looks like you're going to clog the toilet... those are awsome times imo. Don't judge me or anything but I do enjoy pooping good.

Haha, I second this!

Once every 3 days is too long imho for bowel movemtns, but what do i know? I have IBS, so sometimes I go 4 times a day, sometimes I go only once in 3 or 4 days.
