Please don’t ask why I need this.

It would be great if the food also made me sweat less.

It has to be something I can easily find.

EDITS FOR CLARIFICATION:

  • I am not planning on partaking in any illegal activities.

  • I do not condone the use of illegal substances and am not planning on smuggling anything anywhere.

  • I am not going on a hiking trip or mailing myself anywhere.

  • I will be staying in a tent (not a small one; a huge with with air conditioning and everything). I will be traveling for five days, returning to my current location on day 3 and traveling again on the last two days. I will not poop on the first three days (hopefully).

  • Clean toilets with all the expected facilities will be available to me. I am not going to poop for reasons that I wish to keep to myself.

  • If it gets bad, like really bad, like a-piece-of-poop-is-literally-halfway-out-my-ass bad, I will use the toilets.

Please stop asking because I am not telling anyone the reason.

    What I would do in this situation would be a 4-day fast. It’s not for everybody, but you might want to at least consider it, because it’s definitely doable, and some people even claim it’s healthy (disclaimer: I am not a medical professional, don’t take medical advice from random people on the internet).

    To prepare, I would suggest switching to OMAD (one meal a day - effectively you will be fasting 23h every day) up until the trip. OMAD will help your body adjust to long periods of not eating. To be successful with OMAD, you need to ensure that your single meal will cover your daily calorie and nutrient needs. There’s a bunch of resources about it online if you search.

    Eat your last meal 48h before the trip - this will give you a chance to empty your bowels before you leave. Every day, make sure you drink enough electrolytes + take multivitamins. On the final day of your trip, it should be safe to have a SMALL meal (do not overdo it, you can hurt yourself by eating too much after a fast) - it should take your body over a full day before you’ll need to poop.

    How long do you have to prepare? Personally, when I first started doing OMAD, it took me over a month before my body became adjusted to fasting. But now, it just feels completely natural.

      I have only two days to prepare. I’ll also have to walk around a lot during those three days so I don’t think I’ll be able to survive with only one meal.

        If you need to walk around a lot, it’ll be tougher to do it on am empty stomach, but not impossible. You have plenty of energy stores to last 3 days unless you’re significantly underweight to start with.

        You will not be able to eat your daily allowance of calories for three days and not need to poop during that time. It’s just not a thing that’s going to happen for you.

        If you are determined to eat and not poop, eat protein bars, and take an anti diahrreal (e.g., Imodium). You won’t poop, but day 4-5 will be awful.

          I don’t mind severe constipation as long as i don’t have to poop for those three days. Thanks a lot.

          I’m not sure what “walk around a lot” means exactly but I’ve interpreted it as hiking and I’m fairly certain that you will have a very bad time when hiking for three days without ANY food.

          And why do you think that you won’t be able to consume enough calories without food? All kinds of drinks should have enough energy to sustain you, e.g. soft drinks, especially if you sweat and therefore drink more than 2l a day. In the worst case you can also just eat sugar.

            I’ll walk to a certain place… Take a train to place 2… on and on until I return to my current location for a few days and can finally poop again before starting on the same journey again (but i can poop this time).
