Question by : How many laxatives should I take to see weight loss?
I need to lose weight because I am going on vacation the last week of this month. I have gained so much these past few weeks, and I need to see weight loss results very quickly. How many should I take a day?

Laxatives won’t make you lose weight at all.

Laxatives are not a weight loss drug, seriously don’t do it, you’ll make yourself sick. Instead, change your diet and exercise more. To my knowledge, the only quick-fix that actually works is liposuction.
instead of doing that (which isn’t going to make you see THAT much weight loss, and in turn will also make you miserable as hell, and make your bowels dependent on the chemical in question) – try buying a “cleansing diet” for the same price.
The cleansing diet will have you drink a special juice for several days, which like a laxative will flush you out, but ALSO encourage weight loss via special chemicals that boost metabolism, break down nasty deposits in your body, and give you energy. They’re sold at many health food stores.
What you do afterwards is eat very carefully, small meals (which the juice will help you with – by shrinking your tummy) and when you eat, eat SLOWLY. not only will you enjoy your food more, you’ll also feel more full. you’ll continue to lose weight this way.
Laxatives should only be used if you honestly need them and won’t help you lose weight. Overtime they will mess up a few of the organs in your body. Trying to eat healthy and exercise a few times a week is your best bet- exercise will also help things like your blood pressure and resting heart rate, which is a big plus. Meridia is closely related to speed, so it’s used as a LAST RESORT for weight loss and it’s pretty addicting. Just be careful with a lot of these “quick fixes” and medications for weight loss- because they are not always safe and usually don’t last.
you’ll build up a dependency.
I would suggest staying away from any type of laxative. At the very least try the following:
- 1/2 hour of cardio immediately upon rising (even if you start by just walking at a fast pace) – make sure its on an empty stomach.
- Cut your food intake to 6 SMALL meals per day. these should be snackable meals that should power your body for the next 2 to 3 hours. That’s it! Remember your only trying to consumer enough calories to get you through to the next meal (ie, eat with purpose)
- It should go without saying cut all sweets, soda, and high fat foods. You may even wanna cut any carbs after 2:00 PM so basically stay away from bread and pasta for dinner.
- Water Time – Drink lots of it. Try to shoot for 2 large glasses before every meal. Don’t allow yourself to eat until you’ve consumed your water. Try a little lemon juice in your water for flavor.
Try to do another “activity” at night.
You don’t need to see weight results very quickly. You WANT to see them. Unfortunately, there are no super-fast and healthy solutions. 3-4 pounds is the maximum one can/should lose per week, and that is through diet adjustment and importantly increasing your cardiovascular activity. Emptying your bowels to the point of dehydration doesn’t make you thinner–it makes you dehydrated and it is dangerous. Vacation is not an excuse to harm yourself.
