laxatives for weightloss

My best friend takes laxatives in order to lose weight. She also exercises, has cut her diet and eats only healthy most of the time BUT she takes laxatives. :confused: her purpose is to lose weight and I know for sure this is wrong but I wonder if this is common.

Any idea if taking laxatives for weightless are a gd temporary measure?

laxatives are reallllyyyy bad to take in…They can damage the kidney’s permanently…
It can cause flatuance (wind), cramps and even skin rash :bummer:

i don;t know why people start takin the weirdest things for weightloss… a normal diet, with a good training/gym schedule can do wonders..
if she reallyyy wants to lose weight…try the egg white shakes bfore goin to gym and instead of her dinner

Re: laxatives for weightloss

Im the short term, she will lose weight. but in the long run she will ruin her body (from inside). If she continues taking laxatives, eventually her body will become immune to them, and they wont work anymore. But because her body has been forced to get rid of waste with the pills, it will no longer do it on its on own. That means, she will no longer be able to go on her own. She will become extremely constipated. Its not a good idea.
