Joe Rogan says he had 'explosive diarrhoea' and lost 12lbs after trying 'wacky' diet for a month

Podcast host Joe Rogan explained what happened to his body when he undertook the diet

The conversation topic of Joe Rogan's bowel movements may come up at any point, so it's best that you show up prepared.

Rogan, best known for his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience and for commentating on the UFC, once shared an extreme diet that he undertook.

The 57-year-old is known for leaving no stone unturned on his show, with some admissions being better left unsaid.

But Rogan ploughs on regardless - it's more or less part of his brand now.

Celebrity diets are always a hot topic of conversation, but the 'wacky' diet, as he described, had an effect on his bowel movements.

Wait - it gets worse.

Going into excruciating detail, Rogan said that he had diarrhoea so severe, that it felt like a 'rainforest mudslide overtaking a mountain road'.

Reading this feels like a punishment for something but at least you're clued up on Rogan's bowel chronicles.

It all began back in February 2020, when Rogan said that he gave up veggies, fruit, grains, nuts and seeds to take on the carnivore diet.

While eggs and some dairy products were allowed, the American podcaster went all in with animal food products.

Rogan decided to consume raw animal meat because he’d recently weighed in at 205 pounds (14.6st) - which he said was the 'fattest he had ever been'.

Taking to Instagram at the time, he explained: "So I did the carnivore diet for all of January, I lost 12 pounds, gained a tonne of energy - my energy levels were completely flat the whole month, no ups and downs from crashing after eating."

Rogan went on: "I had a belly; a lot of people made fun of me, fat-shamed me. I lost all my fat, I lost the belly, I lost my love handles. I don't know if I'm gonna keep eating like this but it was tremendously beneficial.

"I also have an auto-immune disorder, it's called vitiligo, and my vitiligo improved, I had a bunch of white spots fill in, so, I don't know."

He also added: "I went into this thing thinking this carnivore diet was wacky and probably thought it was nonsense, but this is as good as I've felt in a long time and it's just one month."

But Rogan’s weight loss ultimately came at a price. A very explosive, smelly one (yes, sorry we’re back to diarrhoea).

The podcaster then revealed: “There's really only one 'bad' thing, and that thing is diarrhoea.

"I'm not sure diarrhoea is an accurate word for it, like I don't think a shark is technically a fish. It's a different thing, and with regular diarrhoea I would compare it to a fire you see coming a block or two away and you have the time to make an escape, whereas this carnivore diet is like out of nowhere the fire is coming through the cracks, your doorknob is red hot, and all hope is lost."

"I haven't s*** my pants yet, but I've come to accept that if I keep going with this diet it's just a matter of time before we lose a battle, and I fill my undies like a rainforest mudslide overtaking a mountain road," Rogan admitted.

There you go - you're now an expert in Joe Rogan's bowel movements. For better or for worse.
