I’ve been working out more (and biking daily) and the post workout shit is always an amazing feeling.

This is purely anecdotal, but I started meal prepping with a pile of mixed vegetables and chicken, and my bowel movements have never been smoother. Like, the difference was legitimately addicting. Haha. An effortless shit everyday is such a massive game changer.

What vegetables?
Skkorm@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Literally just mixed peas, carrots and beans from a frozen package haha

I’ll often toss a frozen package in the microwave to go with whatever I’m eating for dinner, then any leftovers go in the fridge to be remicrowaved the next night (they rarely make it more than 2 nights though, otherwise I’d be more careful about over-reheating)

Thing is, I never have better shits than when I eat like absolute crap.
Hotdogs or a fry up, and it just flies out like a greased otter. Draw an ace every time.
When I go on a health kick and eat vegetables, it’s legit like wiping a marker pen.

the “when i go on a health kick” would be the problem, you kinda can’t “go on a health kick”, you don’t have a health bar that can be periodically topped up while otherwise eating garbage.
it’s much better to always eat one carrot per meal than to have one meal per week that consists solely of carrots, not only does that give your body a baseline to work with, but it also means you get used to eating that carrot and eventually you start to quite enjoy it, and the thought of not eating a carrot with your meal feels a bit wrong, and adding another carrot to each meal isn’t a very daunting prospect.
I used to subsist basically entirely on fast food, and at this point any meal without some proper vegetables feels somewhat unpalatable. I’ve also just straight up replaced candy with simply eating more food, and candy holds little appeal now. Why suck on a caramel when i can eat a tasty sandwich instead?
You’ve got to slowly ease yourself into a healthy lifestyle, and experiment around to find out what works for you. Maybe you love boiled vegetables, maybe you absolutely hate them but instead crispy fried ones herald the choirs of angels.

Ease your way into the healthy diet.
