PSA on Poop: 1-2x a week is not good! #carnivore #keto #animalbased

PSA on poop. Pooping 1-2 times a week is not good. This has been normalized, especially in the carnivore community. Their theory is that you don't have to poop because your body is using all you eat.

But poop also eliminates toxins that you absorb through your skin or breathing. Your liver binds these to bile salts, that you need to expel, or the toxins build up in your blood.

Additionally, your own cells are replaced and old cells are shed, I.e. your colon lining which sheds about every 3 days.

Finally, it's just not a good sign for your metabolism. Faster is generally better, and this also applies to things like your cell shedding.

So what can you do? Do you need fiber? No, not really. But probably adding some fermented foods like kefir would speed things up. I eat mostly animal based, but with fermented foods and I poop 3-5x per day.
