This is just out of curiosity, I’m not really interested in really doing this, fiber is healthy blah blah blah.
Ok so what kind of diet a human being could eat and stay relatively healthy and alive would produce the least amount of fecal matter? Research reveals that at least 1/3 of feces is dead bacteria, so obviously even with a perfectly formulated liquid diet you’ll still be producing some brown stuff.
The kind of diet you’re looking for, is called a low residue diet. People with gastro intestinal issues are often put on a low residue diet, and the early astronauts were on a low residue diet while in space for obvious reasons. As I recall, the morning of the lunch they typically had steak and eggs which are both low residue. Here is a list of foods which are low residue:
There is also a variety of liquid diets that can serve the same purpose. The ones mentioned in that link are normally short-term, but a few people must be on them continuously.
Liquid protein diets for weight loss, lasting months, were once a preferred method but fell out of favor. Today you’ll see them used more often as meal replacements.
So, at the risk of sounding too gross, would you get super-constipated on this sort of diet? And when you finally do go, would it be rock-hard nuggets or something?
