At least every 2 days

One time I was keto and kept craving sweets. So I found Russell Stover sugar free chocolates. I ate the entire bag at work. I will never make that mistake again. And I’m the type that can only go at home. What a nightmare, literally. So if you need to. Try that. 🤣🤣🤣 won’t disappoint.

I did that too, only i went mountains biking after eating the whole bag lol never again

There’s a fibre source that isn’t talked about much but in my opinion is one of the better ones out there.

PHGG (Partially Hydrolised Guar Gum) it’s great for multiple reasons it’s got all the hallmarks of fibre, it’s gentle on the gut unlike others, won’t cause bloating, it’s a bit of a wonder fibre that it will firm things if too soft, and soften things up if too firm… it’s largely tasteless, dissolves away to nothing in water which makes it great for adding to a smoothy or spiking your favourite goto meals with some fibre goodness, adds a great silky texture to gravies or sauces.

Highly recommend as a cupboard staple.

The struggle is becoming real.

For first time in my life, I’m consistently inconsistent.

Trying to increase water and fiber intake, but not the best at that.

What are y’all finding success with? Miralax? Fiber pills?

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Fruit smoothies with fiber powder added and fruit yogurt for probiotics keeping me mostly regular.

Not to come roaring in with TMI, but I've had microscopic colitis, confirmed by biopsy, since my late twenties. (It's pretty much like IBS.) There was no great way to manage it except being very careful about what I ate, maintaining my dignity by never daring to combine anything that involved a meal and being far from a restroom after, just in case, and not making any plans before 10 am, or if I did, getting up VERY early so that my stomach had settled by the time it was time to be around any people. I've had flare-ups put me in the hospital twice over the years, when I lost water faster than I could get it in until I finally just fainted where I was and someone drove me to the ER.

Tirzepatide ENDED that. If it stopped working for weight loss tomorrow, I'd STILL keep taking it forever, because oh my god, it is no longer a great deal of work to never be embarrassed and keep my medical issues to myself. I can even stay overnight while out and about if I want to, because I will be fine in the morning, EVERY morning.

What dose of tirz are you on?

Just 2.5 every six days. I'm hoping like hell to be able to stay there; I'm down thirteen pounds and started off needing to lose fifty.
