Is it bad to use laxatives for weight loss?
Laxatives
are widely abused by people who want to lose weight. However, these
medications are not recommended as they have many adverse effects.
Besides dehydration, they can also cause electrolyte disturbances.
Moreover, most people develop tolerance to the medications, so you will
constantly need to increase the doses. The weight loss from laxatives is
only mild and not sustained.
What you should know is that many people
who abuse laxatives develop a lazy bowel. This is a serious disorder as
you will not be able to have bowel movements in future. So I suggest you
exercise rather use these medications to lose weight.
