Can laxatives cause weight loss

Answer 1

By causing food to pass through faster, your body won't absorb as much nutrients and energy from it - so they can work that way. But it has some pretty serious health risks, so an ordinary diet and exercise program is far better for you.

Answer 2

It causes weight lossby losing water or stool, but it is temporary and it doesn't cause a fat loss. It shouldn't be used for weight loss, since that doesn't work and it is unhealthy.

Answer 3

Laxatives can indeed aid in weight loss. That is the reason why laxatives are used by individuals suffering from anorexia nervosa.

Answer 4

Taking laxatives for weight loss can be dangerous. What happens is it makes you go to the restroom for bowel movements at an abnormal rate. Basically what you eat will exit rapidly.
