    Laxatives work by stimulating your colon to push out its contents. Once you’ve cleaned out, your body will start pulling water to expel instead. That means any weight lost while ysing laxatives is just poop and water, making it temporary.

    It's like NOT EATING. You WILL lose some weight, but it will jump right back on when you stop taking them.

    Sure...if you want medical problems all your life including incontinence, spasms, severe diahhrea mixed with the inability to poop where you are straining for an hour, potentially lethal blockages etc etc

    It will harm your body because you can get dehydrated and leak poop uncontrollably. What's worse, being chubby or being the guy/ girl who poops their pants? Also it's just like any other drug abuse.

    Hard work is how you lose weight. You have to make a change in your life that revolves around exercise and eating natural foods. Eat meats you cook yourself, vegetables, fruit and drink water.

    No and it can be dangerous. You can become dependent upon them, over usage of laxatives can cause colon/rectal cancer.
