Not to be too graphic, but...

I'm about a month in, and noticing that the amount coming out is no where near the amount coming in. Is that normal?

OP, yes. I like to drink my magnesium (Natural Calm is great for this), or capsules will work too.

Constipation is very common on keto because we lose both water and fiber we usually get from carbs. Make sure you’re consuming enough fats, drink extra water and consider adding a fiber supplement and/or probiotic!
My doc recommended miralax if I have constipation (IBS, not keto related) because it's not a stimulant and adds water to soften stool.
Also highly recommend a probiotic - they significantly help with my digestive system and have greatly improved my immune system (used to get sinus infections/colds 3-4+ times a year and now I may get a cold once a year)!

Daily fiber supplements help. I got them at Whole Foods

Which probiotic do you take?

I’ve used a number of different brands but recently I’ve been using Ultimate Flora

I've heard that red meat stays inside if you for a lot longer, and I've been eating a lot

Anyone tried a flush or cleanse at the same time?

Another option is to fast (16 hours, or longer if you can), then drink some salt water. Be careful with fiber supplements — too much can actually worsen the problem.

Magnesium can help too.

Thanks all, just to be clear, not feeling constipated or anything, just feeling like maybe I have some extra baggage that could be shed

I have limited problems limiting carbs. That said, it seems my protein is always inline with fats. The two

I’ve hit a plateau on the keto diet (no weight loss in 3 months). So in addition to walking 5 miles a day (been doing this since month 2), on Sunday I started a Beachbody HIIT workout with weights (21 day fix real time). It’s 30 min workout daily and I’m two workouts in and I can barely move. Also, the muscle cramps are for real! Drinking about 80 ounces of water a day and I soaked in an Epsom salt bath last night, any other tips?
