I could probably eat better…
Edit: I do appreciate all the dietary advice.
Meal prep!
Cut up veggies: onions, bell peppers, carrot shreds.
Cook up some protein of choice.
Now you can make salads, wraps, and stir fry throughout the week! Also can toss into ramen, which is not as healthy but hey… it has veggies and a protein now!
Also, find ways to fancy up oatmeal! Adding things like bananas, raisins, craisins, brown sugar, dash of salt, peanut butter, and spices can really make it good! I like old fashion style oats. I believe the instant oatmeal style isn’t actually very good for us, but check me on that.
Oh, and drink plenty of water!!
“How do I not poop for 3 days”
“I wish I could shit better”
The Duality of Lemmy
Omg. I had forgotten that. Good times
So, story time. One of our dogs was having serious digestive issues, diarrhea, vomiting, just having a miserable time. Took him to the vet and the vet said that we should get some Science Diet food, the kind that you get from the refrigerated section in the grocery store. We said “fuck that” and just looked up what you should do to make your own dog food.
Usual recipe: 1 cup brown rice 1/4 cup barley 1 lb ground turkey (the following are all rough chopped) 2 large yams / sweet potatoes 2 zucchini 2 carrots Then we also tend to add extra stuff like kale and broccoli (they love both of these).
Super easy to make. Brown the turkey, throw in a couple cups of water, and all the ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer for a about 30 mins, stirring every 5-10 mins. Just make sure you didn’t use too much water, it shouldn’t be a soup.
Let it cool, and for us, it’s about 10 days of food for 2 medium and 1 small dog.
And their poops are perfection, and don’t even smell. It’s ridiculous. When my wife was gone for a week, I just made extra “dog” food and just ate that with them (with salt and pepper) of course.
Doing some rough calculations, it’s about 2x cheaper than the cheapest dry dog food. It just takes a very very small amount of work.
That’s a very interesting recipe.
I do mostly meat recipe, everything goes through the grinder.
80/20 ground beef Chicken breast Chicken legs with bones Chicken feet Chicken liver, gizzards and heart Beef liver Salmon with skin on No salt added bone broth 3lbs blueberries
I try to keep to 80% muscle meat. 10% organ, 5% bone and 5% blueberry.
We adopted a senior obese dog heading to kidney failure and after a year on the raw food she reversed course and is now a very healthy old lady. I did try to cook and eat it once but the bone bits harden when cooked and it was very unpleasant.
“Here I stand”
Dude, there’s your problem
“Shower thoughts”
Weird place to shit, but to each their own
🧇🦶
Probably a French toilet.
Everyone’s boosting food with protein now, when every doctor on earth is screaming “eat some fucking grape nuts dawg.”
Fibers + Oils = The Shit
Fibre plus plenty of liquids.
Well I was trying to skip the obvious. However, if you don’t know how to shit at that age, it might not be that obvious after all.
Try eating some dog food!
Probably healthier than fast food
Beans, prunes, raspberries, metamucil, water. Bananas.
Eat just that for 3 days. You’ll poop your pants.
saute some broccoli in olive oil and garlic
Amateur suggestion: dried plums, flaxseed, wheat bran, plenty of water, a few walks and the bowl is your friend again.
I put two scoops of the Costco fiber supplement in my coffee each morning and have great poops now.
That sounds like an extremely unpleasant cup of coffee. I also highly recommend a fiber supplement, but I just do an orange flavored one at night
The supplement dissolves completely and is odorless and tasteless. You’d never know it was in the coffee or even in a pure cup of water
I have had the “chunky” fiber supplement and found it disgusting as it is like pulp and I hate pulp.
Orange flavored coffee at night!?!
With pulp
Florastor for ten days, then a decent multi-strain probiotic with an apple, banana, or, uh…artichoke? every day. Just Google prebiotic foods and pick one every day.
Edit: if this doesn’t work for you, just come back and I’ll give you a full refund.
Psyllium husk. And / or more beans.
All you gotta do is fill it, with more quinoa and millet. Then Robert’s your Dad’s brother! “Don’t eat that batter” leads to more fecal matter!
Activia does wonders.
