Can metamucil help you lose weight?

Metamucil body wt.: Not really, Metamucil has no role as a weight loss agent.It is prescribed to make a bulk in the stool so you dont get constipation.

Metamucil.: If you were severely constipated you could temporarily be carrying extra weight. If your constipation cleared up with combination of hydration, physical activity and metamucil you could lose the amount that you were carrying in extra stool. But, the real answer is that metamucil is not used as a weight loss product.
