Bill L	Thats a good question Donna , but I dont think it would ever be possible .Where would people then do their thinking and read the daily paper ? lol Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

allies_mitt	Nope - Your energy needs vary and you would never be able to balance it out. Sorry, you're stuck with pooping and peeing. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Basil P	perhaps you can develop such a diet,but the body still filters excesses - urine / excreta - which have to be ejected. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Campbell Gramma	well, you're also flushing toxins from your body on a daily basis......toxins you accumulate from outside sources other than eating and drinking....( breathing, absorbed through skin, from a wound ...etc. ) so, I wouldn't want to stop that system up...no matter how inconvenient it may be Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ms Phil	No, because then we would just store those things and the bacteria and other gross things would still be in our systems. Plus our colons would be very disgusting! I for one am greatful for the 'loo'. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

(:ßlue Ðesert:)	Just imagine the feeling on the days when your stomach is not clear. Would you like to have that awful and irritating feeling daily? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

taranum_iqbal	No i don't think so. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BazTheFraz	Then what happens when you want to eat normally again, and you find that your backside has healed shut??? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

syd_guy	No matter what the food is it will have some mass and if you drink 2 litres of what ever liquid the body wont absorb it all. So what abt the rest? U wanna keep it inside? Living beings do have to go to loo no matter what. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

justanotherengine	yea, if we were that efficient at extracting nutrients from food but, we're not, we're human, and in NY, we go to the "TERLET" to "Dangle a Rat", "Pinch a loaf", "Float some bricks" "Download" "do a Dumpload" "Deliver a snake" or "POOP" !, not the loo Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NutstersChick	UR not alone, my husband has always questioned our waste system. All awkward, unreliable, anti-social and ickky! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

puffy puffers	I am not thinking so. Our bodies do have to rid themselves of various things, it is the body's way of cleansing itself and that is what helps keep us healthy. Keep in mind we do have perfect foods. Fruits and veggies are perfect, especially if you grow them on your own. There are no preservatives or anything, they are the food of nature. If you raise your own livestock, the meat is perfect because you will probably corn feed them and not inject them with hormones and things. No matter how perfect the food is, our bodies still have the need to rid themselves of whatever it is that it cannot use Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

wizardburg28	well, that is an interesting question. However, the answer is no. Sure you can create a diet for yourself that would slow the process of going to the "loo" as frequently as you normally would, but it would be just a matter of time before you started feeling sick. Going to the bathroom is our bodies way of cleansing the toxins out of our body. Our liquid input equals our liquid output, but, with food, our body uses what it needs then rids itself of all of the excess.If you changed your diet, say you cut back on food, your body would eventually adjust to that amount of nutrients and then no matter the amount or what you ate, there would be some amount of excess that your body would need to get rid of. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Xtal	That would be wonderful if there were foods that would be loo free. But I think in the long run, we ave to go to the loo to clean us out (in case you had something bad & didn't know it) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sim G	No, I'm afraid it's not possible. Even if the diet were absolutely perfectly balanced, the natural waste products of metabolism would need to be eliminated from the body lest they become toxic. Also, I read a study once that found that human feces is approximately 1/3 dead bacteria [bacteria which have lost the battle to your immune system and are now being eliminated from the system]. So you see, the waste material that we eliminate on a daily basis has a great many more sources than just the waste products caused by digestion. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

southpaw	Even if food was perfect, remember, you have to eliminate red blood cells that have died, as well as all cells that have to regenerate every 24 hours in your system. You have bacterium and cilii that break down food that have to be eliminated also. If you couldn't eliminate you would become toxic within a few days and die unfortunately. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mark T	This can not be a serious question. Of course not, It does not matter what you eat, no matter how healthy or unhealthy. There is no food that is pure vitamin or nutrition, same with drinks. Even the most healthy foods such as grapefruit, fish, and even mountain spring water have access ingredients in them besides what your body takes in. And thus you have boul movements, (poo) That would be a great convenience for us all though, I wish it could be possible. But as long as you eat you will visit the loo quite frequently Good luck trying Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

David S	The short answer is no. The water in urine carries away impurities from the body. I don't know if these impurities are in the food we eat or if they're produced in the body, but we need to get rid of them. The fibre that is in some foods is not digested, but it is important for healthy bowel movements to have fibre in your diet. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jwesleyw@sbcglobal.net	Nope our intestines arent long enough to gather all the nutrient before the food goes out as waste. Animals like sharks rarely poop because they have long intestines and can digest everything Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stuart G	Interesting question. It is possible for the human body to be fed a diet such that it does not excrete solids. As regards liquids, not possible as far as I am aware. The body takes whatever it needs from the liquid it is fed, it requires liquid in order to survive, after it removes the essentials it passes the waste liquid out of the body. Hope this satisfies your curiousity. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rach .	I doubt it. We not only eat toxins in our daily diets, but we drink and breath in crap that our bodies get rid of by going to the "loo". Unless of course you want to gain tons of weight by not going to the loo and making yourself extremely sick from not going. Perhaps you would rather puke than squat to take a mean crap or a raging pee. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Paris Flea	I don't believe so, otherwise God would have designed our bodies without "outlets" for the waste. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

princess tinkle UK	i would like a food to be developed where just by eating it, when you go to the loo or bathroom it would completley flush out all the nasty fat in your body therfore leaving only the good stuff in there. oh we can dream cant we gal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kerry Z	You would have to eat something or drink something that the body uses completely and not have anything the body does not need to get rid of. Even water gets rotated. Since you cannot live without water - the answer is no. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

L.L. Cool Bean	Bobby Sands tried without success. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

soulstryker	i don't think there is,but eating red beans seems to put you in the toilet for hours Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

latina	don't be stupid. what goes in has to come out and it is not wasted it is chemically changed once u ingest it so it can work for ur body. our bodies aren't perfect that is why u have to keep eating and keep excreting, u excrete to make room for more nutrients to come in and be used again. duh!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

aniMALuVA	Great question, tricky to answer how about Newtons third law Matter cannot be created or destroyed, just changed, the matter in food is an energy source used by your body them changed into a product that has to be excreted (excretion is a life process that all living things must do) Just like a car turns hydrocarbons into carbon and monoxide waste. Hope that helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

...	I wish there was.That would be so much better.Have you ever been at your boyfriends house and had to go to the bathroom so bad but didn't want to gross him out...lol This would be the perfect solution :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

susieblake2002	Effectively there IS a diet like this, or very close to it - I was in hospital at one point for quite a serious condition, and I wasn't able to eat. They hooked me up to a gastro-nasal tube up my nose and down my throat into my stomach (not nice, don't try it unless you need to). That was attached to a drip feed, which is basically exactly what you describe - essential nutrients and fats to keep you alive while you can't consume anything else. Eventually, if you were on this drip long enough, there would probably be some waste, but in the 8 to ten weeks I relied on it, I don't ever remember "going" if you see what I mean. Fluids are a different matter. The waste HAS to be eliminated in order for your kidneys etc to keep functioning. The only way to aviod peeing, Im afraid, is to be catheterised (and I don't recommend that much either). What you ask isn't a stupid question, curiousity is good. If no-one asked these sort of questions, society wouldn't advance. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
