if you do this on a regular basis you could become dependent on them inorder to pass a bowel movement... or in simple terms you will need to take one everyday so that you CAN poop! your anus will become raw and could lead to infection. you could also agrivate the diverticuli in your colon... leading to colon cancer and diverticulitis which is where the diverticuli or curves become swollen and inflammed and very painful. its not a safe or healthy way to lose weight and i deffinately recommend you choose another more healthy option. im not trying to be vulgar or mean or scare you, just wanted to state the facts.
Your body absorbs water and nutrients from the contents of your digestive system when in the intestine. Laxatives rush food through your system before this is done. (It's runny, because all the water is still in it.)
This can result in dehydration, fatigue, malnutrition, and possibly death from complications of the dehydration and malnutrition. Abusing laxatives also strips your intestines of important mucuses, which can leave your body very susceptible to infection.
Please do not consider this method for a form of weight loss!
If you do this alot, you loose a lot of nutrients.
But if you are only going to take 1 laxative, assuming you are not constipated, there is really no point because you would go on your own.
your butt holio will get bigger and it will hurt alot
Don't try it.
My best advice to you after having tried countless diets since I was teenager, including the so-call Ex Lax diet, is to do the obvious.
Eat a healthy, well balanced diet and exercise.
Try to get away from the fad diet approach to weight loss because they will always fail in the end. Even if you lose the weight you want you will gain it back.
The best thing to do is to find a way of healthy eating you can sustain for a lifetime.
I speak from a lot of experience. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I was 40 that the obvious finally sunk in after doing God knows how much damage to my body over the years with all my desperate diets.
Keep in mind, too, if you decide to not listen to the voice of reason and choose to do the Ex Lax diet, if you take it beyond the recommended time in the directions, your body can become dependent on it making it harder for your body to soften your stools naturally.
You could end up going through Ex Lax withdrawl; A lengthy bout of constipation.
Most of the weight you loose with a laxative is in fact water and not calories. They don't significantly reduce calory absorbtion. the part of the intestine they work on is where you have already absorbed most of the calories. As other have said you may become dependant upon laxative just for normal bowel function. Also abusing laxative can give you an ion imbalance and make you dehydrated.
