(Shamelessly stealing this image from some crackpot carnivore diet community elsewhere on the lemmyverse, with which I have never once interacted, but noticed I have been banned from. Lulz.)

    There is actually a weird group of people doing a carnivore diet where you basically only eat animal products. Literally to the point of what the meme posted says of not eating like spices, or food cooked in olive oil. It’s wild lol.

      I follow some of those people.

      What I learned is you shouldn’t do it. Do you know what happens to your poop when you take out fiber from your diet? It just leaks out.

      Others claim extreme constipation like 3 days. I don’t know if I believe that.

        extreme constipation like 3 days

        Fun fact: this is not extreme. Extreme is more than a week. 3 days is the minimal threshold for constipation.

        Fun fact, those two things go together. My oldest is autistic and needed several rounds of feeding therapy before he’d eat anything but Chicken Nuggets like 90% of the time.

        if your constipation gets extreme enough your bowels start being unable to pull liquid out of what comes into them. So you go from being unable to poop at all to suddenly just having the still liquid stuff leaking out around the blockage being the only thing that can come out.

          I’ll probably regret going there ….

          But could this be a scenario where the cheapest chicken tenders are good? Is there any fiber to whatever they use for filler?
