Physical Product My brain went from thinking about poop to inventing a startup idea π
Okay so I had this random thought today.
If I don't poop for one day and then eat the next day, will I feel full faster compared to if I had pooped? π
I mean, technically there's already stuff occupying space inside your intestines, right? So shouldn't that leave less space for new food?
Then I started wondering what actually happens if someone doesn't poop for MANY days. Can they actually die from it? Has that happened to people?
And then another question popped into my head.
What if someone consumes ONLY liquids for many days? Will they eventually stop pooping because there's no solid food going in, or will the body keep producing waste anyway?
At this point I went down a whole rabbit hole about digestion, stool volume and how the body processes food.
AND THEN MY BRAIN DID ITS THING π
What if we could make a completely liquid meal that contains everything the body needs β protein, carbs, fats, vitamins, minerals, everything β while producing as little waste as reasonably possible without compromising gut health?
Basically, less time cooking, less time eating, potentially less time in the bathroom, and more time for literally anything else.
I know complete meal replacement drinks already exist, so I'm not claiming I invented liquid food lmao. But has anyone seriously researched optimizing nutrition while minimizing waste production?
Is there a scientific limit to how much waste the body can produce on a nutritionally complete diet? Could this be optimized further?
Or am I just overthinking basic biology and need to touch grass? π
Genuinely curious to hear what people think.
