So much better than eating 1500 cal a day at 4 bills and not losing even a smidge.

You were 400+ lbs., consuming 1500 cal/day, and losing 0 weight?

1-3 days for a bowel movement is absolutely normal and not at all a "medical emergency". Unless by "every few days" you meant 7+? Most of that is attributable to the massive abuse of opiates in this country.

Literally everyone who isnt taking a daily fiber supplement needs to start taking a daily fiber supplement. Regardless of weight or weight loss.

I have UC and I can tell you that fiber isn’t always the solution... just like everything it’s not a one size fit them, some people can really get sick because of them.

It’s another variable that’s worth playing with if you have digestive or auto immune issues, but it can go both ways.

That being said you're defitely statically more right than wrong for the general population in the western world and especially in the US.

Can't speak for the shit habits of others but if I don't go every day I would assume something is wrong. Don't think I've been multiple days without taking a dump since I've been an adult that I can ever remember.

Pretty much the first thing I do after waking up every day. No need to wait for the coffee.

Well listen, we are in the weight loss thread on a gaming forum known for being highly "irregular". Its no wonder people talk about weird pooping habits as if they are normal.

My biggest question is how long does everyone have to remain polite to the obvious liar in a serious thread in the "grown up" section?

In the grown up section, instead of saying "obvious liar", we'd say he's mistaken or incorrect. Instead of personal attacks, just discuss the facts as stated.

And I believe a bunch of us already called out the impossibility of what I think you're talking about. That is the correct way to address that in the grown up forum. If there are repeated just impossible stuff than I'd entertain a trolling charge, but I do not think that is what is going on here. People who made it to 400 pounds usually WILDLY underestimate how much they are eating so it makes sense to me that he'd THINK he was eating that, even if he's not.

People can be wrong without it being malicious/lying. Lets default to that here.

So, we haven't hit the threshold yet? Despite the diatribes? Got it

No, and we're not going to have personal attacks in here regardless of the threshold. If you see something you don't like, report it, and we'll decide.

There's a reason the grown up forum exists. People will be allowed to discuss in peace.

I get it, I asked a serious question instead of doing something "roundabout" and petty like acting sanctimonious and calling people failures for using glps.

And just to be clear, if there is a distinct pattern of behavior, and it is devious and malicious, it is very adult to call them out on it

I've told you the rules, you can follow them or not, and the consequences will be on you.

I’ve skipped a couple days on poops before when on very low calorie diets. Your poops also tend to get very hard if you do, so I quickly learned to add fiber.
