Thread: been cutting for 5 days and I am having a REALLY weird problem

I even went to the buffet today and had loads of vegetables, and fish. what is going on?

I'm no expert so I can't tell you if it's normal. But when I change my diet I always go to the restroom less frequently. I just started a bulking cycle about a month ago. Before that I was consuming 2000-2300 calories a day and going to the restroom 1-2 times a day for the most part.

As soon as I started bulking at 3200-3500 calories a day, I didn't go for 3-4 days. I still haven't started going regularly again. It usually takes quite a long time...

LOL, maybe. I think someone else should probably give some input though. It's always the case with me and I get plenty of fiber...

Any foods you don't normally eat that are now in your diet? For example, have you switched from whole milk to skim?

I have cut out a lot of things I usually eat. One thing I did add was egg beaters, also a food my mom used to make on holidays.. I have been eating it frequently lately. It is ground beef and rice rolled up in grape leaves (green leaves which are common in the middle east, my mom told me it is really healthy). Also I have had two protein shakes that I haven't had before.

You guys should try the grape leaves, they are awesome!

Interesting. Nothing effects my bowel movements. I'm always blown away at such phenomena. The most I've ever went without a potty break is maybe 24 hours. A little longer when I fast of course.

also I should add my diet prior to this was almost anything that tastes good in site lol, including loads of fast food, and junk food

Add some digestive enzymes to each of your higher calorie meals (helps with excess gas too). Also, if you eatmeal in am, try adding bran fiber to the mix. Be sure to drink lot's of water and you'll be poohing in no time. If you're still having issues, try some raw apples, pears or oranges. Last ditch effort...go for the dried fruit.

No need to tell me how well this works...We'll all just take your word for it

I've tried stuffed grape leaves twice. Hated them twice.

lol you should have an egyptian grandma make it, and you'll love it

also I have one more question. I haven't been able to get in the gym for the past 8-10 days, other than a few push-ups. This added in with the cutting, I have lost a shitload of muscle. Will the muscle be easy to get back when I start up the lifting program back up tomorrow? or did I mess up..... Honesty is appreciated lol

Muscles dont atrophy in 8 days my friend. Unless youre on a starvation diet.

Even if you did, muscle memory is a great thing.

If that fails, try going on an all out bulk and running some drol/test.

Oh and if you wanna shit, drink a Qt of milk.

hmmm I was drinking lots of milk before the diet, and I haven't drank any milk at all since the cut.

Also I think it may have been more than 10 days, I was quite depressed before the cut. I was staying at home and later during the day just smoking ganja with friends. It was pretty sad lol. I definitely atrophied because my weight dropped quite a bit, and I had a peak in my biceps, and I no longer do

what is drol/test? were you joking about steroids or you serious? lol
