Can laxatives cause weight loss?
From W8MD weight loss and sleep centers
Laxatives can lead to temporary weight loss, but they are not a safe or effective way to lose weight. Laxatives work by stimulating the bowels to empty, leading to a reduction in water weight and waste. However, they do not reduce body fat, and long-term use of laxatives can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and other health problems.
