Why do people that take laxatives become super skinny?

Hey guys! This question is not for me.Anyways, I'm in psychology that has to do with why people do things that are hurting them more than helping them. I've heard that the abuse of laxatives only causes the individual to lose water weight and eliminates waste. But the abuse of laxatives causes severe dehydration. I want to know if people that abuse laxatives are also bulimic or anorexic or have some other kind of problem. So lets say if I was bulimic and had the idea that taking laxatives will help me lose FAT not just weight, would I trick myself into thinking that its working? Because I know that some individuals have that delusion that they aren't harming themselves by abusing laxatives, and are losing weight and FAT in the process. Another question is there any small fat loss at all? Depending on their condition because I know some individuals that are bulimic or anorexic that take laxatives but also exercise till they collapse. Also, how much damage can abusing laxatives do to your body? Hope everything makes sense you guys! I'm not asking you to do my project for me but I just need a little insight before I pass it in to make sure I make sense. Thanks! :)

How to Lose Weight Taking Apple Cider Vinegar Pills

Recommended Answer:

Someone who abuses laxatives in the hopes of weight loss to achieve this desired body has an eating disorder.There's a term called EDNOS, which means Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified. I'm pretty sure it's every other eating disorder that doesn't qualify into anorexia or bulimia.I'm not sure if there's fat loss...the damage it can do to your body. This will sound gross & I am sorry, but think of diarrhea. Hell, when people have it they're already constantly weak for the first day. Think of that on a long-term scale. I imagine most of the damage will be from the dehydration AND the lack of absorbed nutrients. Forcing your body to remove the contents of what you ate prevents it from fully absorbing the nutrients. I believe that applies to bulimia as well.

How can I change the way I think about food?

For as long as I can remember I've had a strained relationship with food. I've struggled with being chubby my entire life. I've lost weight and have gained it all back. My family says my eating habits are not normal and I'm starting to agree with them, but I don't know how to fix it. I've been asking my parents for professional help for awhile now, but I know they're never going to get around to it now that I'm going to college in a few weeks.I'm really tired of living this way. I'm young, I should be enjoying life, but I feel like my weight and relationship with food is squashing my happiness.I constantly find myself in the kitchen wondering how I got there, because I'm on autoautopilot. I look for things with sugar and I eat what I can find. The thoughts that go through my mind when I see something high in salt, sugar, or fat:"Eat it, what if you never get to eat it again?""Keep eating it, don't let it sit there.""Don't let it go to waste."I like to exercise, I love it, even, but I can't just rely on exercise alone. How can I change the way I view and think about food?

How to Lose Weight With Tea

Here's what I've been sayin to myself when I can eat and see tastes foods, "don't eat just because you CAN eat" only eat when you are hungry and resist shoving foods down your mouth because you're not full. You don't want to be full all or most of the time. So don't eat just because you can eat

• Every time you take a bite pinch your stomach fat and shake it. Helps.

For you to lose weight you need to lose body fat. To lose body fat you need to be following a workout plan & nutrition plan that go hand in hand to help you lose body fat. By just going to the gym and doing some cardio/workout and trying to eat heathly you will get results but not great results. So many people fail because they just don't have the right information to lose weight and are doing the wrong exercises and eating the wrong foods. I'm glad you have the motivation and I think I can help you with your weight loss goal.Check out the website below. They will provide a custom workout & nutrition program designed specifically for you to lose weight. The workout programs tell you what exercises to do in the gym, how many sets, reps, etc. The nutrition plan tells you how many times a day you need to be eating and what foods to eat. It basically is a personal trainer & nutritionist all in one. I've followed my program from them for 3 months now and it has been incredible. My body has completely changed, I get complimented every day about what I've been doing to look so good. I truly believe that if you follow one of the programs they design for you, you will lose that body fat. Check out:http://www.fullonfit.comGood luck and I hope the site helps you like it helped me

Other Answers:

• cardio, and lots of it run, cycle, whatever you want as long as it is cardio. weights also help burn fat so you can do both if you like
• when it comes to weight loss a large factor is the diet when it comes to body toning then its exercise.change fat foods to healthy ones, a key to think is to start changing snacks that we all love i discovered changing this helped me maintain my ideal weight for example instead of crisps and stuff i now try to eat pistachios, pineapples, almonds, and fruit i find tasty you might think this adds fat as well however its good fat that gets put to good use unlike what snacks do for excises look at your body type from that you will find out were your fat gets stored the most then research excises for that
• Do Lifting work out, it will still burn your fat even at rest. I was 250 8 months ago, now Im 195, I7ve been on gym for 6 months now. still have big belly though but with gym work outs, it get replaced quickly. so go to gym or just buy a barbell. the only thing you need to start workout.remember Strength first before cardio ad with Strength workout, everything will be much easier after that.
• lose weight and be healthy.. for me it's hard to follow a certain diet. i love food and when i want to lose weight i eat almost the same food but in less amount.start your day with 1-2 cups of water and remember breakfast is the most important meal, you can eat almost whatever in the morning and it will help you feel full all the day. you can eat 1-2 boiled eggs or cereal for example. keep drinking water through the day it will help you feel full too. at lunch have a smaller proportion of what you were used to eat. at dinner eat mainly yogurt and vegetables.google 30 day squat challenge, 30 day crunch challenge...etc. i found many good challenges that anyone can do.Good Luck!

How much do I eat to achieve this goal?

I asked this before but didn't get any serious answers so here I go again... Ive been trying to lose weight and so far I've lost 50lbs. I'm trying to lose 20lb more within 8-9 weeks. At the latest 10. So roughly two months or so. Ive switched up my routine but am unsure of how much to eat with all the activity I do during my workout. My BMR is 1600. Im short. I burn between 1100-1700 calories each time I go to the gym. From 6-9 am, 4 or 5 days a week. Sometimes 3. I do 90 minutes of cardio divided into two sessions, and an hour or so of weight lifting. I really need to drop 20lbs before late september, preferably before mid september. How many calories should I consume daily? Im somewhat and hour glass shape and I have a good bit of muscle under all this fat... Im fairly built. Not sure if that matters or makes a difference. Help please? Serious answers only.... Thanks!

How to Lose Weight by Walking

Recommended Answer:

Eating healthy, getting all vitamins you need per day along with protein and calcium , other important nutrients to stay healthy. I would say that overweight comes from eating an excess amount of calories. I am not a dietician but I would say that you should consume around 2000 calories a day on days you workout and consume around 1500-1700 calories on non-workout days. Cut the sodas and processed debbie cakes. Meal planning is important. Snacks should be quality food not junk food. Aim to eat 3 meals a day with dinner being the smallest meal of the day.
