A lot people take laxatives hoping it will help them lose weight. They won’t. Laxatives provide little actual weight loss; usually a couple of pounds lost at most, and even that does not last very long.
Laxatives work by changing the amount of water your body absorbs (when you take a laxative your body absorbs less water, and therefore your stool contains more water). They do NOT affect the digestion of fats and solids, and therefore will not lead to any meaningful weight loss.
There are only two ways to lose weight: eat less and exercise more!
