"How I stopped eating food"

I thought the same way about the less I eat the less I'll poop, it didn't cut the daily BM's down enough to make a big enough difference for me though and like my dietitian said, if you're not properly fueling up the you can bring on constipation that way as well...it can slow down transit time, create frequent BM's but of smaller volume in turn often causing frequent trips to the toilet...

My bowels are still pretty busy but considering how much more I'm eating I'm not going more, in fact most days now I'm going less.

I think not only is it important about how much food you ingest daily but the types of foods too, I'm sure for many that eat mostly a junky processed diet they may go less or more, I think it varies from person to person.

I'm happy to finally be eating like a normal person and the fact that it's not causing me to "go" more than I was....my fingernails sure tell the story of my health too, they've become much healthier and that makes me feel better too. I actually kinda cringe when I think how poorly I started eating and for years. There was a good long period of me just eating healthy, nothing processed at all, very expensive and lots more work and inconvenient (just like when I started this low FODMAP diet) but I wasn't paying attention to my fiber, protein and healthy fat content like the dietitian has taught me so it's amazing what a difference that can make too, too much good fat or protein or whatever isn't good either, balance is key as well.
