If you take the laxitive 30-45 minutes before you eat, it will help you loose some weight. But don't become to dependent on the laxatives, because they can cause serious damage if abused.

Im 22 and ive been overweight since highschool, i went vegetarian 2 months ago cut all sugar and fast food out of my life and i have been exercising daily. The person asking the question is full of BS. You my friend have the right idea, you cant just try and quit. There is no easy way to lose weight. I was 230 lbs 5'7 obese .. now im 204 and still losing weight. Im proud of myself and happy and my doctor is very happy with me. The pain i got in my muscles from working ojt for the first week was almost unbearable, i even had a hard sitting down Becuase my thighs hurt so bad. I almost gave up and then i looked in the mirror. If i gave up id be dead of a heart attack by my 30's and that scared me. So to deal with the muscle pain i started adding yoga into my routine along woth ibuprofen and advil to lower the swelling in my muscles alomg with heat and ice packs. Like i said before it takes work and you have to commit to it. So to the person im respomding too thank you, to the person posing the question pills are not the answer. Propper diet and exercise is.

Ok yes you will lose weight but it will be water weight I'm anorexic and have tried basically every trick and I know what it's like to want results now but if you do this there will be other issues you will run into. Look into some hard core Ana work outs and diet tricks that actually work and you will get better results

Hey, I completely understand how you're feeling but please don't try to lose weight the unhealthy way, you'all lose the weight but as soon as you go back to eating normally you'all gain it all back and maybe more. I promise you I have been there, please don't abuse your body like that. Instead just eat healthy, (lots of fruits and veggies!) and exercise :) how you feel is much more important than how you look, focus on loving yourself and treating yourself well. The rest will follow!

Easy for you say the addiction is not all about losing weight for some people it's only part of the numerous issues that go hand in hand with the addiction it's not as streight forward as eating healthy like you think

Yes it is safe to a large extent as it is the best remedy for losing water weight. laxatives are also capable of eliminating toxins from of the body. However, this is not at all an effective method to lose water weight as extended use laxatives is known to disturb a person’s overall metabolism and digestion process. It has also long and short effects on health.

Yes laxatives help in losing weight, but remember, a regular use of laxatives can be a serious threat to health as it excretes essential nutrients from the body at a faster rate.

I tried this, I don't know if it makes you lose or gain weight but I can tell you that it will make you vomit and have very runny poo!

Eat 3 moderate salads with onion radish yellow bell pepper top with a single serve pack of tuna fish (come in flavors like ranch or lemon pepper) and eat a handful of broccoli dip it in low-fat or low cal Italian dressing and drink flavored carbonated 0cal water. 60cents a bottle at Walmart I've lost 45 lbs since December 5th and I have a torn ACL go for a walk for an hour a day lift weights for 10 minutes using the bigger muscles like legs back triceps .... Not abs they don't burn fat they are to small and look up compound exercises
