broccoli, wtf

[TheOak84]

i ate a pound of raw broccoli in 2 seperate meals, and i SHAT so much for the next 12 hrs...

i mean huge shits, the kind u take at the begining of the day

why is this... i read u get 9x the amount of nutrients raw vs cooked.

i know it was the broccoli cuz i tried it on 2 diff days, within a weeks time

ever happen to anyone?

This is quite common.....many often get flatulence/shits from a major change in diet, if they jack up fiber intake high from a time of low intake, or another instance happens when one reintroduces carbs after a period of low-carbs.

May want to add Beano or a digestive enzyme ... although there will be people who swear they don't work, I know people with Broc issues that will tell you the opposite

This is NOT uncommon with Broccoli

Never tried raw Broccoli, you eat it raw like buy broccoli from a shop and eat it straight away without cooking, isn't that bad 4 you, how does it taste, would you recommend it ?

Remember: brocoli is a cabbage, and we all know the searing, flesh rending flatus that emits from the haunches of many a good Knight whilst eating raw cabbage....

Beware the raw brocoli if you plan on being in public....

Since noone has touched on this, I am a bit curious....you ate 1 full lb. at each meal? Start out a bit slower bro...a cup at each meal, upped to 2 as your diet goes on lower in carbs is a good way to go.

no, i ate 1 pound in one day, 1/2 pound pre workout, the other half after. which was all before noon.

im guessing all the shit coming out is a good thing. i just dont understand where its coming from, i never knew i hd that much in my body...i felt like i took a colon cleanser.

but ya, it tastes fine, i put some ranch on it.
