If laxative tea doesn''t work why have I lost real weight?

I had some problems with "you know what" so it was recommended I try a herbal remedy (a.k.a laxative tea, smooth move). Anyways I was NOT trying to loose weight with it, so please so speeches about that. However, when I recently stepped on the scale I noticed a significant drop. So anyways I did some research and found that laxative tea won''t help with real weight loss, but will only make you loose water weight. Knowing this I measured myself and I saw actually changes (deductions) in my figure all over. I haven''t changed anything about my diet and exercise so I am confused on how I lost all this weight. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.
Thank you

Recommended Answer:
You didn''t lose real weight. You just released a lot of waste you had been holding onto when you were constipated and that looks like less weight on the scale. Because you''re no longer bloated your pants and tops fit better and your midsection appears to be slimmer.

• "Water weight" is from extra water in your body tissue. Saline or osmotic laxatives draw water from your tissues and put it into your digestive system and send it out your rear end. This does cause some weight loss which is only temporary and will come back once your GI system returns to normal.
