Yes, it's called bulimia.
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder where a person has a fear of becoming fat. People with bulimia binge-eat then make themselves sick and/or use laxatives to help themselves maintain their 'normal' weight.

Laxative pills will only clean out what is inside your intestines at the time you take them. To lose weight you would have to take them regularly, and this is VERY UNHEALTHY. Your body needs nutrients and laxatives cause your digestive tract to speed up so nutrients (along with the "fat") get flushed down the drain.
If you really want to lose weight, keep a diary for a week and write down everything (EVERYTHING) you eat. Then, analyze it. I would be willing to bet that you are really heavy in the carbohydrates (sugars and starches). Your body LOVES THESE and NEVER GETS RID OF THEM. What your body doesn't use, it stores for "famine days" later . . . whether you have any or not.
To lose the fat in your body, you have to force your body to digest fat (which it will, but not in the presence of an abundance of carbohydrates).
This is the premise of the low-carb diets that are so popular. However, I would like to caution you: Low carb does NOT mean NO carb. You still need to take in a small amount of carbohydrates to maintain a healthy body, even while cutting down on the total carbohydrates to force your body to burn fat.
There is never a quick fix for something that is worth while, such as obtaining and maintaining a healthy weight and body.
If you are retaining fluid, eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice, it is a diauretic and will help to reduce your stored fluid levels naturally.
Cut back on carbs.
Eat three meals a day, starting with a BIG breakfast (I know, yuck!). But, this will allow your body to stop craving food the fastest. Then, fix yourself some health snacks that you have to chew, like celery and carrot stickse. The chewing and crunching helps to put off the cravings.
What ever you do, stay away from the laxatives and diet pills. These will mess you up big time and weight will be the LEAST of your problems.
Good luck.

Yes, they can. That is how I stayed skinny from the age of 16 until 24, at which point I was completely addicted to them and could not **** unless I took 5 per day, and then barely went cause my peristalsis was ruined. For years and years I was in horrible pain, trying to get off of them, and tried anything and everything to be able to go. It was not until I was 34 and got a series of colonics that I was able to get off them for good. I will NEVER take another laxative in my life. I feel great these days, at 39 I am 5'7'' and 118 without really exercising or dieting, I just eat a very healthy (lots of fruits and veggies, and whole grains) I get a colonic a couple of times per year like you change the oil in a car, for maintenance, and I feel better now than I ever did (well I felt this good before I started those damn laxatives) Pleassssse don't ever use them for loosing weight, I felt like a fake when I was thin because of them, because if I would stop for just a couple of days my belly would blow up like a balloon because of gas and constipation. Sorry for being so graphic, but I wish someone would have scared me like that, and I would not have had to deal with all those years of misery.

if there turned right into a short fix, no human being will be fat. straight forward as that. regrettably not one of the weightloss pills for sale artwork. they'd make you jittery or "energized" and some would look to suppress your urge for nutrients, although the base line is they're severe priced, and in case you shed weight, its because you're more suitable attentive to what youre ingesting once you're taking them. even like lypozene on television, in case you look on the bottom it says members interior the learn lost 3.8 something lbs in 8 weeks. now, dropping weight is dropping weight, yet my wager is that you want to lose more suitable than lower than 0.5 a pound a week. the worst section about eating regimen pills is often once you get off them, the load comes appropriate lower back because it become something manmade keeping the load away. it wasnt your man or woman exertions. and dropping weight is exertions, no count number how a lot you want to lose. weightloss pills will be mind-blowing in the experience that they worked. id pay exceedingly a lot something to lose the load quickly, yet its purely no longer healthful to do it that way.

Laxatives can help you lose weight, but that is not what they are intended for and are not recommended for dieting purposes. Why not try something like increasing the amount of fruit, fibre and water in your diet. These three things are healthier and better for you, and have the same effect as using a laxative, and will help you to lose weight in a more healthy manner.

Sure. And when your body gets completely addicted to them the doctor will cut out your colon and you'll sh!t in a bag for the rest of your life. Sound like a good idea?

Your better off dieting, which doesn't have to be painful, just cut back on the size of the portions you eat and when you eat. Like not eating big meals or big snacks late at night.

Yes they help you loose the fecal matter in your intestines. They will not help you lose fat, and that is what you want.
