once every 3 days to 3 times a day is considered normal. when i was on my first weight loss journey, i was eating properly within calories and exercising every day.. i would go every second day or third day and it wasnt much. the more processed, bready and sugary foods will have you on the bog daily. cut out the bread, and your screen time will drop!

I'm an American who poops once a week. I'll go ahead and speak for all Americans here that this is undoubtedly true.
I can confirm that this individual can speak on my behalf for all things defication.
One meal in, one meal out
That might be dysentery lol
As an American I am full of shit, yes.
Do you ever stop to think that maybe you're being lied to? Where was that part of the process?

I live in northern Scandinavia and I poop probably 2–3 times a day, at set times. When I wake up, then some time usually shortly after lunch. Then maybe a bonus one after supper as well. But definitely 2 times a day. I had a cousin in law who lived in Florida, said she poops once a week or so. I couldn't believe it when she said that.
