A friend told me that if I want to loose weight real fast, I must use Laxatives. Has anyone got advice on that??
 
Yes, I sure do! Do not do that!! One reason being that your really not going to loose much weight at all, secondly, your not really going to be able to keep off the weight as long as you don't change your eating habits. Thirdly, I worked as a nurses aid for 5 yrs. You come across alot of people, who for one reason or another, decide to start regularly taking laxatives..guess what? There bowels don't work anymore. Not like they are supposed to. They need a laxative EVERYTIME they have to have a BM. Please dont' go down that road!
 
yep, what they said. very true. we see this a lot here in my area...our elderly population will delve into laxitives when they no longer have regular bm. thinking something is wrong with them instead of realizing it is a natural aspect to bm less frequently. indeed, they become reliant on laxitives.

very dangerous route. great question though. needs to be discussed as it is used too often!
