Britney Spears is infamous for her late night Taco Bell runs. Apparently, Britney was trying to combat her midnight binges by flushing her system with laxatives.

“Prior to Britney’s new regime under her dad’s control, she used to make frequent stops to her favorite fast food haunts and then reportedly follow up the binges with laxatives so that so she could clean out her system and avoid seeing the repercussions of her indulgences.” - OK Magazine

This is one celebrity diet secret that I do NOT recommend trying. First of all - IT DOES NOT WORK!

Laxatives remove lots of water from the colon as well as food residue. The scales indicates weight loss after a laxative-induced bowel movement, but it is false weight loss. The ounces or pounds return as the body rehydrates after liquid intake. - anred.com

So in other words - you’re losing water/”poopie” weight - not real weight (I’m very technical - I know)! Secondly, the abuse of laxatives can have some very series - and plain old nasty - side effects.

These side effects include nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, rectal bleeding, electrolyte disorder and dehydration as well and this can lead to injury and death of the individual as well. It is also noted that the excessive use of laxatives also cause severe constipation and pain for increased periods of time, which can result ultimately in surgery and removal of the large colon. - weightlosswand.com

Gross! So the next time you are considering hitting up the drive thru - toss the laxatives - and instead, try to use these four tips to “Curb Your Cravings“……
