I agree: I agree with dr. Wodi in the same way, the weight loss that is initially seen with water pills is also only an illusion.

Laxatives: Using laxatives to loose weight does not work and is dangerous. Your body can become dependent on them and you may shift into an eating disorder. Please see your doctor and ask about a low carb higher protein food plan. Peace and good health.
