they don't :( they just make you feel like you are lighter. It's addictive... but it's really bad for you. Trust me, I do the same thing for the "instant satisfaction" feeling of being empty... but laxatives will just hurt you.

What laxative does it take to lose weight?
Are you bloated, retaining water you really did not give any information for why you asked the question? I do not know how safe a laxative would be, so asking you doctor would be recommended. However, you could try apple cider vinegar to lose around 10 pounds in a week. If you feel constipated increase your liquids and you could try Dulcolax which is a gentle stool softener. Laxatives are a quick fix to losing weight and can do more harm in the long run if you use them for prolong periods. Increase your fiber (fruits and vegetables) and reduce fatty foods and limit whole grains because your body may not be able to process these. I suggest visiting you supermarket’s dietitian for other live style changes that may help reduce weight safely. Alcohol is very high in sugars so watch any amount consumed. Too much sugary drinks will help cause weight gain. Here is a website about laxative abuse: What It's Really Like Living on Laxatives to Lose Weight I hope this information is helpful.

How Do Laxatives Make You Lose Weight?
when you eat, your body absorbs all of the nutritional content, then you pass the rest of what is left usually a semi-solid poop, this is called metabolizing. taking a laxative is going help you bypass alot of the metabolizing and go strait to pooping it out, but it will be runny, because your body did not absorb the liquids in the food and just got rid of it. it is almost like binge eating and purging, except you get a little more nutrition. either way it is not good because you starve your body and when this happens, our body gets desperate and metabolizes you. your fat and your muscle, so you will lose both fat and muscle and your scale will show a lower number. fyi more muscle= more calories burned by your body= higher metabolism= easier to keep fat off.

Can taking laxatives make you lose weight?
taking laxatives is a trick people in fight training use to make weight when training for competitions. it is not a very healthy thing to do as it dehydrates your body. There is a healthy alternative to this. Go to a health foods store and get some kind of herbal body cleanse. they generally are a 1 week process. What they do is detox your body and flush out your colon (similar to an enema but no intrusive anal probing) of all the build up inside you. The average 30 year old has anywhere from 12 to 25lbs of fecal buildup in your colon from eating red meat and certain other foods. So basically if you use one of these safe body flushes you could lose at least 10lbs in 1 week! yay!!!
How can I lose weight with laxatives? What are the best ones?
You can’t, laxatives empty your large bowels containing already digested food, there warer is further taken so the stool won’t be diarrheal, also electrolytes are exchanged, thus taking laxatives without any proper need can induce low potassium states AKA hypokaliemia, causing muscular weakness, and worse, fatal cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation. Digestion and uptake of food takes place in the small bowels, not influenced by laxatives.We once had an overweight American lady tourist brought in who had collapsed on a touristic boat ride, fortunately a group of resident GPs were also on that boar, they took turns performing chest compression and beathing into her, after she arrived at our place shocked into normal sinus rhythm and waking up, but having many ribs broken during that long CPR needed to have a tube shoved down her throat into her trachea to mechanically ventilate her (or she would’ve choked to death), for the duration it took for her ribs to heal, about two month it was. Her potassium was extremely low, she abused laxatives in the stupid and totally mistaken belief that that would help her lose weight. She almost died, if it weren’t for those docs so conveniently present on the same boat she was on.
