I read somewhere that it takes up to 36 hours! I cant remember whether or not this was raw fats.
Also I just ate alot of onion, and I am supposed to be at a party in a few hours ( I know HUGE mistake lol)
does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of the smell??!
I know this may sound rediculous, but would breaking a sweat through a couple hours exercise get rid of it?
AHH I wish I didnt eat that! (im going to be known as stinky onion girl lol.... no really)

thanks everyone!!
soaking in a hot bath maybe??
lol,
somebody help :[

Transit time will depend on the level of fiber in your diet.

On SAD, it's about 2.6 days.

On a moderate fiber diet it's about 2.0 days.

On a high fiber diet, less.

On a very high fiber diet, maybe a little more than a day?

So if you eat something smelly and you want to purge it ASAP, eat lots foods highi in dietary fiber. This might make you gassy, though, if you aren't used to it.

The healthiest thing to do is avoid eating that stuff in the first place. Onion and garlic are irritants and stimulants, and don't lead on to health on the raw diet. I ate them when I first went raw, but after some time my body quit liking them.
