No. instead Cellulose might induce weight loss by prolonging the feeling of satiety. Cellulose is the main component of cell walls of plants. It has no taste and no calorie value. Humans can not digest cellulose and so pass it to the colon from the small intestines. In the colon, cellulose absorbs water, increasing the size of the stool and making it softer. This way, cellulose helps the stool to pass through the colon easier, and therefore is helpful in the treatment and prevention of constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis.
