"How long food takes to get from one end to the other depends on gender and eating style. If you’re a vegetarian male it should just be a day or two, though if you eat meat it could end up being 5 days. Female vegetarians also mostly 1 or 2 days but those who eat meat are most likely looking at 4 days.

If it’s just 24, 36 hours your daily stool weight, which is what's flushing out all that excess estrogen and cholesterol, is probably going to hit that half pound target, though if it’s a couple days you may be hurtin’.

Or, if you have a really good bathroom scale, you can just measure stool weight directly, to see if you hit that half pound minimum… by of course weighing yourself before and after, not, yoknow, messing up your scale."

Our gut is our body’s disposal system; anything it wants to get rid of, it throws down the trash chute."
