Laxatives To Lose Weight

Using or taking laxatives to lose weight is another popular buzz among the overweight individuals nowadays. Although as appealing it may look but you'll have to be really careful when thinking about consuming laxatives because according to many medical experts there are certain dangers lies in the process. So before talking more about the issue let me brief you with laxatives themselves. 

Bad side effects of laxatives (when used carelessly)

*. Laxatives are mainly being used for loosing feces in human body (Osmotic agents, stool softeners and stimulants, are just a few types to name)  and is not something really new but has been around for a very long time (from the ancient times). But when it comes to losing weight it's major role (or what these individuals think it helps at lest) is to loosen and "take out" some quantities of undigested foods in your stomach.

But this is not true according to experts, since they will only work within the colon rather than the stomach so by the time the food reach the colon all the fat, sugar, calories are already consumed!.

Now this brings us to the main point of their popularity in this field is that unlike the most safest methods where you have to forcefully control your hunger and limit foods with less sugar, etc but while using these pills you can eat (well not as much as you want but you can be less controlling) foods since they'll make sure they're out before consumed fully.  

So this serves the main reason behind all these fat burning issues which is the greed for food. For all the overweight people if they can control this and do some exercises then you'll lose weight as the time goes on which a the best guaranteed way and is unbeatable also. But this is hard to achieve to do and people always search for easy ways to do it. Thus they end up with methods like using laxatives.

Other health damages

Back to the talk again.., now it is shown that when used for a long time these chemical pills can cause diarrhea. And if used excessively for a longer periods of time might drag you to the point where you can't even control the process (diarrhea, etc). Just think about it when you're on a bus or walking on a public park you won't even have time to think or do anything it'll just happen! , how embarrassing it can be.

Not only the embarrassment but also other serious health effects such as intestinal paralysis, eating disorders (also used as a cure too), weaker metabolism "engine" (which is a helper more than an enemy if you want to lose body fat) are just a few. But remember these are one of the main processes that you body require to stay healthy and should not cared less.

And when having diarrhea you loose more water and again if continued for a long time less water in your body can give birth to unhealthy kidneys, blood pressure problems, headaches, vomiting, skin and muscle problems are just a few to mention. 

So why it is believed to be a weight loss method?

This is because as mentioned above, what these products do is by losing stool and stimulating diarrhea it takes a big amounts of water out of the body. So as most of us know since most of our bodies consist of water (over 55% for grown adults - the more age less the amounts) and when you lose water in bigger amounts you feel like you've lost weight but in fact even though you want to lose weight what's more important is the way you lose it.

Or in other words you want to burn fat not by removing excessive amount of water from your body but by removing fat, sugar, cholesterol type energies. They both seems to do the same thing but when considered the health related problems losing water can be deadly and losing the "right" amounts of sugar, cholesterol, etc make you more healthier on the other hand by lowering blood pressure, more healthy metabolic stomach, etc.

But you can use natural meal replacement shakes for losing weight, whey protein, low carb shakes, for this purposes and always stay away from diet soda products. But even before using these methods you must go to see your doctor and get his advice first which is a must.

So as a final conclusion if you're thinking about how to use laxatives to lose weight then my opinion is don't!, because everywhere you look or read you hear only negative feedback from people and this has to be expected if you understood the above written content. Thank you.
