that I barely use the bathroom except for urinating...I don't feel constipated, but this probably isn't normal.

Re: I noticed since I started the diet...
Normal...when I was eating carbage (ie. lots of filler) I'd go every day...sometimes with IBS..yuck.
Now, once or twice a week is it...if I'm having a red meat week...once...maybe. I've NEVER had a problem with painful BM's...just not frequent ones. I am guilty though of drinking sugar free metamucil the night before my weigh day because I want to make SURE I go before I weigh. LOL~Joy

Re: I noticed since I started the diet...
I agree with Valid. It is actually pretty typical, especially in the Induction phase. When you choose your veggies, you may want to aim for ones with higher fiber. Or, you could use flax seed to get some extra fiber. Either way, it is normal and you shouldn't worry about it unless you are having some type of problem with it. Just continue to drink lots!Jennifer

I'm totally the same. I only use the toilet for that about twice a week. When I wasnt on the diet it was every day.
