To O\u2019Mara, the diet is not just a temporary means of losing weight but a way to eat for good. He has been doing it for 10 years, and credits it with turning his life around. At one point in our conversation he pulled up the Bristol Stool Chart, which ranges from Type 1 (\u201cseparate, hard pellets\u201d) to Type 7 (\u201cwatery, no solid pieces\u201d). O\u2019Mara is consistently delivering Type 4 (\u201csmooth, soft, like a snake\u201d), with pointed ends, indicative of healthy rectal function, he told me. \u201cWhen you start eating healthy, you don\u2019t need toilet paper,\u201d he claimed. \u201cAnimals in the wild have no residual stool on their anus.\u201d He described a proper bowel movement to me this way: odorless, wipe-free, over in three to seven seconds and \u201cnearly orgasmic.\u201d

\u201cI could have a bowel movement behind a sheet at a dinner party in the corner of the room,\u201d he said, \u201cand nobody would know.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
