Question:

I would never do this, but do laxatives actually work to lose some weight? thanks in advance!?


Answers:

No, laxatives do not make you lose weight.

Laxatives work in the large intestine (the last part of your digestive system). The calories and fat you're trying to get rid of have already been digested earlier on in your stomach and small intestine. All you are losing is fluid and vital electrolytes which are needed to keep your heart beating. As a result, people who abuse laxatives can actually die of heart failure. Don't go there!!!
