How to Use Laxatives to Lose Weight

How to Use Laxatives for Weight Loss

This title is a bit misleading, because you're not going to hear me say that you should use laxatives. But I want to get the word out there, and this headline may attract some internet searchers looking for advice on this dangerous practice. Here's the real deal on laxatives... they do NOT work as a weight loss technique. Here's the top 3 reasons:

1. They only strip you system of water in the long run, not calories

2. They can cause a chemical dependency... yes, a drug problem

3. They can damage your long term health by causing constipation, which can result in many other issues with your digestive system.

These are only 3 quick reasons why laxatives are not a good idea, and why you should shy away from this extreme dieting technique.
