It's the same for me and it has been that way ever since I started this WOL in May. I chalk it up to the fact that if you are eating healthy and not filling yourself up with S--T then there is less S--T coming out. IMHO only.

Hey, you're eating less! Makes sense, no?

And I like gross questions. I think there should be a separate gross question forum so we don't have to keep apologizing for asking them....

Waaay less production and far less frequently. I seem to only have to go about every 3 days and then it feels like I really don't have to. I used to be on a regular schedule, but now you just never know.

Are you eating your 3 cups of veggies? A lot of people skimp, especially during Induction. I found out the hard, painful way that I really need to get those green vegetables.

Makes me wonder what the folks at the Splenda Consumer Relationship Center (1-800-7-SPLENDA) would say if you told them that!
