Laxatives and Weight Loss
You must to know about using laxatives for weight loss
If you are using or thinking of using laxatives for weight loss then I
suggest you look elsewhere. You won't ever lose fat with laxatives but you will
lose waste products and water. If your body release a lot of water, your body
will then think that it needs to retain more water. As a result, your laxative
use has caused you to carry more water than before. The laxatives will have the
opposite effect and make you carry more water and feel even more bloated.
How Laxatives Work
Laxatives are manufactured to more or less act as a sponge and,
in effect, soak up the body's fluids and then releasing them through your stool.
The Harmful Effects Of Laxatives For Weight Loss
The truth is that daily
consumption of a laxative is extremely harmful and should be avoided
at all costs. If constipation is a reason for using laxatives then it is best to
drink large amounts of water on a daily basis and to ensure that
your diet is full of fibre-rich foods. It's also a good idea to be
active throughout the day. Fiber cereals are a great way to relieve
constipation as is prune joice.
Medications Aren't As Effective When Mixed With Laxatives
Another side effect of laxatives is that if you are taking other
medications of some kind they will also become less effective.
