Why laxatives don’t work

(Science based)

What is a laxative?

  • They’re drugs that are used to PREVENT constipation or PREPARE the intestine for radiological or endoscopic procedures.
  • This means, they’re NOT DESIGNED FOR LOSING WEIGHT.

How does a laxative work?

  • They accelerate the movement of stool through the gastrointestinal tract by various mechanisms as:
  • Increase the volume of stool with fiber (natural fiber, amaranth, wheat) or with water that is extracted from the intestinal wall into the stool (saline, the most used).
  • Byirritating the intestine to stimulate evacuation (oils such as castor or glycerine).

So, Why don’t laxatives make me lose weight?

  • Because they basically make you poopnotburnfat. You will only lose water and irritate your intestine wall (which can be painful). You’ll continue to be hungry and feeling shit when you rehydrate and regain that weight of water that you lost.

What can happen to me if I abuse its consumption?

  • Dehydration (dizziness, fainting, nausea, headache)
  • Sodium or potassium electrolyteproblems (can cause heart or muscle problems or cause irritability).
  • Abdominal swelling (to the point of looking pregnant), intestinal pain, straining or tenesmus.
  • Diarrhea, appendicitis or intestinal obstruction.

SO PLEASE, DON´T USE IT UNLESS YOU ARE CONSTIPATED ‘CAUSE THEY´RE NOT CANDIES OR MAGICAL PILLS, THEY´RE MEDICINES.

You think you have the control?

I’ve just realized that everything I do is just to distract myself from food.

I’ve distorted the real purpose of things to avoid eating.

Those things shouldn’t be my distraction, they should be my hobbies.

STOP EATING CHEWING GUM!

Chewing gum leads to something called “aerophagia” which is basically swallowing air. That air causes bloating and will make you feel uncomfortable, swollen, and can sometimes cause pain.

It also stimulates the secretion of hydrochloric acid from the stomach, which can erode the esophagus.

Whenever I chew gum, my abdomen looks swollen and that makes me think that I’ve gained weight :(
