Will laxatives help you lose weight?





 

This is a fairly common question for people trying to quickly lose a few excess pounds before the 10 year high school reunion, meeting that special him or her you met online for the first real date, or getting ready for that overdue family vacation at the beach or Disneyland.

The answer to this question is both Yes and No.

Yes - You will lose weight but it will consist mostly of "Water Weight" by forcing your body to excrete the excess water it is maintaining and to assist in the excretion of human waste aka Poop

No - The reason laxatives will not help you lose weight is that it is only a temporary fix; laxatives do nothing to contribute to weight loss or muscle gain. Laxatives do not contain any kind of thermogenic compound to increase your body temperature to assist in burning calories.

So will Laxatives help you lose weight? In my opinion if you are just trying to squeeze in those tight years or that old suit or dress you need to wear for a friend's wedding go for it, but do it safely by ensuring responsible water intake. If you are trying to drop a lot of weight the best bet is to do it properly over a extended period of time by eating right and exercising regularly.
