I know it's a disgusting matter, but how are feces managed by the body during an extended fast? Is there any chance of them becoming liquid? Or does the body not expell anything? Could I have problems?
I’m 18M, 6’0, about 130lbs. You could say I’m kind of skinnyfat in the abdominal area. I’ve never paid much attention to my diet because I’ve always had a fast metabolism and I’ve never been close to overweight, so I...
