How to lose weight with laxatives safely
When you're already frustrated about trying to lose weight, it's perfectly understandable that
you might try anything that might work, even if you don't fully understand it.
In the case of laxatives, many people believe that they can use this constipation treatment
to shed excess fat. Taking a laxative does give you a smaller number on the scale,
so it's a quick way to shed weight. However, it would be best if you don't get overly encouraged
by that fact and overdo it, since laxatives can also impact your health negatively.
Something critical to note about taking laxatives for weight loss is how it works.
Contrary to what some might believe, laxatives do not melt fat. They work by cleaning up your gut
and revitalizing your digestive system so that it works more efficiently in processing your food.
Additionally, laxatives are diuretics that make you expel water so you lose additional pounds in
water weight. The danger of misusing laxatives for weight loss can cause severe dehydration,
and electrolyte imbalance. These can cause mild symptoms like thirst and fatigue
but they can also lead to more severe seizures and comatose.
If you want to use laxatives for weight loss,
here are some tips for doing so safely. Choose the suitable laxative.
There are generally four kinds of laxatives. There are bulk forming laxatives, stimulants, softeners,
and osmotic. And all types are meant to provide relief from constipation.
However, if you want to use laxatives for weight loss you need to know which type of
laxative will give you the best result with minimal potential health risks.
Generally, bulk forming laxatives are the best choice if you don't experience any constipation.
These work by sweeping your intestinal wall of debris and toxins which eventually leads
to weight loss. Stimulants, force your intestinal muscles to contract
which often causes discomfort, so they are not a good choice.
Softeners and Osmotic also aren't recommended because they're the ones that often cause
dehydration since they absorb water from your body to soften your stools so they're easier to pass.
Please don't overdo it, when taking any form of laxative make sure you follow the directions on
the label and never go overboard thinking you'll lose more weight if you take more of the laxative.
Additionally, please don't take them so frequently as doing so will put you
more at risk of the dangers associated with these constipation treatments.
Drink plenty of fluids to reduce the risk of dehydration make sure you drink plenty of fluids
when taking laxatives even if you're not taking softeners or osmotic. Drinking lots of water will
help you purge toxins much more effectively. If possible, take some rehydration salts or a
sports drink. These will give you a dose of sodium and potassium to prevent electrolyte imbalance.
Follow up with a healthy diet. Remember that
laxatives for weight loss is about making your body work more efficiently.
It won't do much good if you clean up your system only to fill it up with junk again soon after.
Try to eat plenty of fiber, and probiotic foods like yogurt and kefir to support your gut health.
