I rememeber watching an Oprah where Dr. Oz was on. My mother had been raving about this particular episode for quite a while as one of her favorite subjects in life is whether or not you are "regular".
In fact every conversation must start off with the following snippet:
Ely: Hey Ma.
Ma: How are you? How are the kids? How's your stomach been? Are you regular?
Ely: I'm fine. They're fine. My poop is fine.
Ma: When did you go? Describe it to me.
She then proceeds to update me on my sisters and dad's bathroom adventures. Conversations can usually last up to 15 minutes on the subject alone. The sad part is that I am actually semi interested.
Anyway, back to Dr. Oz. (Is he Turkish? His first name is Mehmet I think which is decidely Turkish) Dr Oz states that it takes 2-3 days to digest a full steak dinner. You have to wait for it to essentially "rot" in your intestines before it passes thru. I had steak this weekend. For the next two days, I kept wondering what stage my sirlion was currently at. I inspected all output in the bathroom and my belief is that it was expelled from my system around day 4. Perhaps I have lazy intestines? I wouldn't be surprised.
My sister is doing the Master Cleanse aka The Lemonade Diet. You can read about it here.
The whole family has bets on how long she'll last. I had my mom put me down for 4 days.

this is ALSO a topic of great interest for my dad!! p.s. i love cleanses too.
Have you done any cleanses Z? I actually bit the bullet and started today since my sister is on day 7 and says I need to experience it.
stopping by via chic mommy, and just wanted to comment too.
A skim of your title had me expecting a vegetarian rant. So I was pleasantly surprised by the topic. Now, I love me a good steak, or burger, as much as the next person, but every time I indulge, I secretly wonder how long it takes to make its way through.
Dr. Oz annoys me. I bought his "You on a Diet" book, and can barely make it through the chapters with all the distracting little cartoons and sad attempts at pop-culture reference humor. Just write. Stop trying to be so funny.
You'll have to follow up and report on your sister's progress. You've got me all curious!
Sad part is I am also semi interested
LOL!
