Can laxatives alone really cause weight loss?

Q. Ok nobody panic, I am not considering this for actual weight loss! I am asking out of curiosity alone, I have a very healthy body and would like to keep it that way!
But can laxatives really cause wieght loss without exrecising and dieting? I thought all they did was stimulate bowel movements, wouldn't that be too late? Shouldn't all the calories be digested by the time it reaches the large intesines? Or is it because of the time its taken in relation to when the food is eaten that causes the desired effect?
Once again, I am not considering this for myself and am asking out of curiosity.

A. NOTHING cab cause weight loss without exercise abd dieting. Laxatives would help clean your system and help get rid or two to three pounds but no more. Together, you might lose if you stick to all three.


What is the best wiegh to lose wieght?
Q. I have lost 40 pounds already but just wondering what would always guarentee that I continue to lose wieght. I am only interested in diet and exercise. No wieght loss pills or nutrition supplement please.

A. The quickest way to lose weight is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohol, and sodas.

Eat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.

In moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)

Practice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.

Eat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)

Go exercise for at least an hour - two a day, incorporating weight training along with your cardio. Cardio helps to melt the fat, while weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat, even when you are resting. You get the idea. It also gives tone and definition. Also do a few yoga and pilates exercises to help tone those hard to reach and stubborn areas

Q. I've seen the commercials with Carmen Electra for rapid wieght loss pills called NV. I'm curious to try them but I was wondering if anyone has heard of any dangerous side effects or any negative comments.

A. None of those so called magic pills work. If they did no one would be overweight.

Q. I want to lose weight.
A lot of weight since im over weight.
Baha. Anyway. I wanna lose like 30 pounds D:
I am conditioned in running and exercising. Any ideas?

A. Well - you could take a look at the Atkins diet - makes you feel like a cave man. People lose weight quite quickly at first - 20 lbs in two weeks isn't all that uncommon. You can get a used copy of Atkins' book "New Diet Revolution" off of Amazon.com. It's a good read - I've been doing this for the past 10 years - best diet I can imagine.

What are the complications of losing weight ?

Q. What are the complications of losing weight, that you know of?

I know over all, losing weight is a good thing. But after losing a significant amount you could have a "empty bag" syndrome. 1. loose skin hanging down 2. turkey neck 3. more wrinkles on your face 5. half empty hanging breasts, etc.

Do you know of any more complications?

A. Losing weight in order to achieve a healthier weight is a good thing! But losing weight in an unhealthy way such as starving, throwing up, and other bad ways will result in loose skin and all of the things you mentioned. If you want proof, I know a person that is really close to me, and he/she dropped 140 lbs in like a year in an unhealthy manner. Stufff went downhill and he/she looked a lot weaker, got the gross stuff you mentioned in your questioned, and DID get weaker both athletically and strength wise. Another proof is that the people on TV such as the biggest looser lost tons of weight and look good after the show. I am assuming that they were watched carefully by many experts, trainers, doctors and such in order to loose weight in a healthy manner. I hope this answers your question.


What is the difference between losing weight and losing inches?
Q. Can ssomeone please tell me what the difference is between losing weight and losing inches. I was advised that working out on the treadmill loses inches and not weight but isn't that the same thing?

Also what are Cardio machines?..does a stepper count as a Cardio machine?

Thanks ;o)

A. Losing weight means losing pounds, while losing inches means losing size, or getting smaller. Often times when people increase their exercise, they do not lose much weight but end up losing inches. This is because muscle is heavier than fat, but takes up less room. This is why size measurement are usually more accurate than weight. Working out on the treadmill you could lose both inches and weight, but since your legs would become more toned, you probably wouldn't lose all that much weight.

When people refer to a cardio machine, they just mean a machine that allows you to work your cardiovascular system (your heart). This includes an elyptical or stepper, a bike, or a treadmill. You don't need a machine, though. Running and walking are great exercises, and you don't need a treadmill to do them. Swimming is another great exercise.


What is the better way to work out for losing weight: working out with weights first and then aerobics or do a?
Q. What is the better way to work out for losing weight: working out with weights first and then aerobics or do aerobics first?

A. Let me put it simply you are not out to lose weight you really are planning to decrease your overall fat composition and increase your muscle mass. Well to begin to answer what type of weight are you interested in losing. I will assume that you are like most Americans and are interested in increasing lean muscle mass. So therefore you wish to decrease your body fat percentage and hopefully increase your metabolism.
Weights properly used combined with a balanced diet are the fastest way to do both. By lifting weights, getting proper rest, and eating a nutritious diet i have found to be a far more effective approach than to spend hours doing aerobics.

Lets face it during a typical 30 minute aerobics session you burn 400 calories eating a typical cheese burger negates that progress. However if you lift free weights i.e. barbells or dumbells to increase your overall muscle mass so that you burn more calories a day at a more constant rate ;this combined with a diet wholly composed of things other than processed foods you will feel much better in the long run. Now by increasing lean muscle mass i do not mean that you will bulk up to be the incredible hulk. Here are a few things to implement into your workout.

1)high intensity exercise is far more effective than a low intensity exercise such as aerobics. interval training, sprints and the like..

2)proper diet, adequate sleep, and free weights(diet being the most important)

3)avoiding processed foods and drink lots of water


How does losing weight make periods stop?
Q. I know it's kinda random but ever since it happened to me a while ago I've been wondering, why does losing weight stop me having periods? Should I consult my doctor?

A. losing weight doesn't stop you having periods -but being underweight makes you stop having periods i think you need to go to the doctors and ask them to check your weight and if its not your weight then you need to ask for some tests to be done because you may have a problem i hope this has helped you out

What encourages you to keep on continuing with your weight loss/weight gain goals?
Q. I have been really good for today, basically the beginning of my weight loss journey. I've tried many times before, but I really want this to be the time I succeed. Any advice?

BQ: If you are on a weight loss goal, how long have you been going for, and how much have you lost?
10 miles. I doubt that.

A. I started my weighloss adventure about 4 months ago. I have done no diets. Just increased my physical activity and controlled the junk foods. I have lost 27 lbs and feel great. When I started I could barely run a mile. Now I can run 10 with not too much sweat.


what is the best balance of weight loss and muscle building?
Q. what is the best way to distribute my exercise between cardio/weight loss and weight lifting to get the best results in each? ive been carrying 20lb weight for a month and a half and i havent seen any development. what should i do? and any tips on diet? thank you guys

A. For cardio jog at least a mile every day if you can't do a mile without stopping just jog until you are to tired to keep jogging and start walkng until you catch your breath enough to keep jogging
Do alot of pushups see how many push ups you can do without stopping and then do 5-10 sets a day i don't know what kinda wheight lifting equipment you have acsess to but you should do bench presses, military presses and curls
And for dieting just don't eat anything real fatty all packaged foods tells you how much fat it has in it try not to get more than 50% fat a day


Does fast weight loss affect the effectiveness of your birth control?
Q. I am on the depo shot and recently had weight loss surgery. The weight loss from the surgery has caused lots of heavy spotting (which has never happened before on the depo shot with me). Is the weight loss counteracting the effectiveness of the shot?

A. It is possible to lose weight rapidly but you should be realistic and take on board that if you lose weight quickly then you will inevitably put it all back on again just as quickly. I lost 5 pounds over the past few weeks when I had a special celebration to attend, and I did it by following the instruction supplied on the site in the box below.

How long after major weight loss should you give your skin to firm up before resorting to plastic surgery?

Q. If I had some loos skin on tummy and arms after an 80 pound weight loss, how long should I give it to firm up? Im young, 23 years old, but will the skin tighten with exercise or stay flabby?

A. The thing with a large weight loss is that the weight is generally lost too fast, which doesn't give the skin enough time to go back to what it was.
After reaching your target weight, I would wait a few months, doing regular light exercise and eating healthily, and then see how your skin is. If you are still unhappy you could look into plastic surgery.

Try this website though, it has some advice about excess skin after weight loss, and non surgical methods. http://www.bodyfatguide.com/LooseSkin.htm

What is good weight loss plan for a pescetarian?
Q. I am a pescetarian, meaning that i am a "vegitarian" who eats fish. I am looking for a weight loss plan that will help me lose some weight while still not eating any meat other than fish. If anyone has any yummy healthy low-carb recepies that would be great too!

A. Great.i was a pescetarian myself some years ago..take steamed fish with oatmeal for dinner(you may season it with pepper and a drizzle of sesame oil, and do add eggplants and carrots by the side)...do stick to your regular dose of veggies n fruit...do keep a limit on soy products because too much soy raises estrogen in your blood and that will be enough to limit your body from burning excess fat..if you are a woman trying to get pregnant or simply a person who appreciates high metabolism,please take my advice seriously. Progesterone is a female hormone that exists in men too, but the testicles can convert it to testosterone.High testosterone/Progesterone levels improve metabolism and also improve the alertness of the brain..estrogen isnt like that..it is dangerous if it is in high density in your blood..and the bad news is that the strength of estrogen raises when there is too much sugar in the blood OR TOO MUCH FAT IN THE BODY. Estrogen dominance is the root of all weight loss problems...there are no foods on earth to induce progesterone, so the only way to cut down estrogen in the blood is via regular exercise. Even 20 minutes , 3 times a week of cardio workout will work wonders. If you hate sweat, then try something more internal like yoga and pilates.Sweat is external excretion. Yoga/Pilates helps the body excrete from within,so you dont sweat much,but it works!try to take home made replacements like fresh fruit juice mixed with non-fat yoghurt or muesli occasionally so you still get a good balance of amino acids.Trust me friend- There is no short cut to a better and healthier body, but hard work will pay off!


What kind of drugs/weight loss pills do a really nice job or suppressing appetite?
Q. I'm trying to lose weight, and I'm wondering what kind of legal drugs or weight loss pills really work. Please don't tell me to just eat well and exercise, I already do this.

A. Proactol is one of the top 10 fat/weight loss pills because it helps your body in so manys ways. It is a clinically proven supplement that can help you shed those extra pounds.
