Re: Laxative Diet
oh man.... please tell me you were kidding!! laxatives will not only make you poo till you bleed and give you horrible cramps, but like khumar said, all you'll lose is water weight and then eventually muscle. and thats bad. muscle is what burns fat- the more muscle you have, the more fat you burn. once you lose muscle, you cannot regain it- you can maintain the muscles you have but you can't regrow muscle in your body. so it'll affect you longer than you think on an internal level.
as for weight loss pills, anothe big no-no. theres lots and lots of research out there about how these pills are just not good for you. theres all sorts of crap in them and they're not a healthy way of losing weight.
even if you dont want to work out, try eating better. eat lots of fruits and vegetables. fill up on those before you eat your rice and bread, and of course, dont forget your proteins- turkey, chicken, beef- its all good. watch your portion sizes too- eat from a smaller plate instead of a regular dinner plate. that way, you're still eating a plate full but the quantity is a lot less. and eat fibre or drink benefibre or metamucil or something- keep your system flushed out, and drinks lots and lots of water. honestly, take care of yourself, don't abuse your body, and it will make a difference!
p.s: one of my favorite and easiest salads, which is also very filling, is chop up one green bell pepper into bite size pieces, chop up an apple, half a cucumber, and one tomato. mix it all up and enjoy! it tastes SO good!
