Are laxatives a good way to lose weight quickly?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

If you overdoes on laxatives you will lose weight quickly BUT its the wrong type of weight. First of you will lose lots of the essential fluids your body needs, secondly you will be removing food required to maintain your bodies immune system. Third your energy take up will be drastically reduced resulting in your body entering into starvation mode, in this condition as soon as you start to eat normally your body will take every little bit of food energy out of your food and convert it directly into fat. Resulting in you gaining weight.
In truth the best way to lose weight is to eat three times a day, keep away from junk food, don't drink fizzy drinks and try to do a little additional exercise.

Answer 3

Laxatives are an excellent way to lose weight almost instantly. Obviously the weight of the excrement deposited down the toilet is instantly deducted from your overall weight. But repeated use of laxatives as a weight loss aid will kill you due to malnutrician. The choice is yours!

Answer 4

No.
Its humiliating, shame inducing, horrible way to lose weight.

Im speaking from experience, laxatives mess up your body.

They make you feel sick, give you cramps and blinding headaches and make you feel like cr*p. You'll spend a very unpleasant day on the toilet then as soon as you eat again you'll put all the weight back on.

Repeated use will make you permanently constipated and bloated : (
I learnt the hard way - Dont go there.

Answer 5

No, you just lose the water from you body. Regular (3-5 times a week) exercise of moderate to high intensity would be the best, as it would raise your metabolic rate - this is all you need to lose weight, and you can still have a normal varied diet.

Answer 6

No, in the short term you will lose weight but you will probably deprive your body of vital nutrients and vitamins, plus give yourself a very sorry stomach. Long term when you start eating again you will probably gain all the weight lost and probably more as it's proven if you starve the body of what it needs, it will retain more of the fat in food when you start eating again.

The best way to lose weight is a sensible eating plan and plenty of exercise.

Good luck.

Answer 7

All types of tablets whether they are from a doctor or over the counter at a chemist have side affects if taken for long periods. Eat healthy by cutting down on fat and sugar, increase your water intake and take some form of exercise everyday. It might be slower but it is safer in the long term.

Answer 8

No. There is no good way to lose weight quickly, it is unhealthy and even dangerous. You should lose weight gradually, over time, by designing a healthy high fibre low fat eating plan and taking regular exercise. No short cuts will do, I'm afraid.

Answer 9

not at all!!!! laxatives increases the intestinal motility, because of that food remains in intestines for less time. Intestines are the organs which helps in digestion of food and and absorbing the nutrients and other use full substances from food, Intestine requires sufficient time to digest and to absorb. laxative increase the intestinal motility because of that intestines doesn't have time to digest and absorb. laxatives can make you thin but it certainly make you week and various nutrient deficient ehich will impair many normal body function

Answer 10

No, it's terrible.

AND once you stop ruining your body, stripping all the nutrients and vitamins out of it, you're likely to be very ill and in hospital.

Then once you start eating again, you'll put on more weight than you had before.

Don't do it! You know the drill - a sensible, balanced diet and moderate exercise.

Answer 11

No. Laxatives don't do anything at all for reducing fat, which is the real point of weight loss.
