Does taking laxatives help u lose weight?
It can because the food moves through your body quicker so that there is less time for calories to be absorbed, but this is quite dangerous and can completely throw off your electrolytes (as can excessive vomiting). Imbalances like this can cause cardiac problems among other things. You lose weight when your calorie intake is less than your calorie expenditure. So eat less fat and sugars, and increase your physical activity; it’s that simple. Everyone knows this already, it is just a matter of self-discipline! It is better to aim for weight loss at about 1kg per week because it is easier to keep that weight off. Losing weight fast makes you more likely to put it back on and in extreme cases, causes acute renal failure and metabolic disorders.
