    Vegetables. Any kind.

    Also, here’s a counterintuitive tip: if you’re going to eat beans, take fiber pills as well. The soluble fiber from the pills lessens the grief from all the insoluble fiber in the beans.

      coleslaw specifically, with the raw veggie form, not the ultraprocessed one with stuff in it. just put it on a egg wrap and eat it after microwaving it a bit, gaurenteed bowel movement the next day if not super “blocked”, just not cooked veggies as they have little effect since the fiber would be destroyed by the heating process.

      fiber pills as well

      Do you mean something like “Bean-o,” or could Metamucil (psyllium husk fibres) work? Just about everyone needs more fibre in their diets, after all.

    Best all around is to just remember to include fiber in all your meals. Veggies, nuts, seeds, whole grains, that sort of thing. You won’t have much trouble going when you’re ready to go. In the U.S. that also means not buying much take out / fast food junk, hardly any of those foods have fiber.

    If you meant “quickest” then you might be thinking of foods with a laxative effect, a quick drink of black coffee cold brew concentrate works for me. Something I discovered by accident when in a rush to get my day going one morning LOL.

    Huel (and sufficient water throughout the day, in addition to the water in the shake).

    I can definitely tell when I haven’t had it for a few days.

            Thank you, and yes. This is the link I was just about to post until I saw you had already did! I listen to a podcast that used to have huel as a sponsor and they dropped them and explained why. Sorry I was cryptic, I thought it was common knowledge now.

              I had coincidentally read that article a day or two before that comment, so it was still fresh to me. I had absolutely no clue before reading that article that Huel was found to have high levels of lead though! I actually used to buy Huel (just not that specific one in the article) and didn’t really like it compared to just normal protein powder that is much more affordable, but overall it did make me realize I need to be more careful regarding supplements ingredients/manufacturing processes for non-essential food.

                I am really glad that you have considered the reporting in your decisions. That is all we can do. I definitely have a few drinks here and there even though there is mountains of evidence of carcinogen damage to my body. I really like your response. Thanks for being a real human.

      I’ve always loved broccoli, and a lot of folks hate it, so…

      Roast your broccoli, people.

      Toss it with a little olive oil, salt it, and bake at 400 or so until it’s browning.

      It adds a depth of flavor you wouldn’t expect if you’ve never had it.
