is it true that u can lose weight by using the bathroom?

Yup. Your body hold onto about 5-8 lbs. worth of digested food in your intestine. If you were to stop eating it would take about 2-3 days to empty it out, hence losing about 5-8 pounds. But of course, next meal it will creep back.

Nope,\n\nI lose weight by not eating anything.

There is no way you can target weight loss to any one part of the body - it's simply impossible.  Anyone who tells you otherwise is misinformed or trying to sell you something.\n\nThe only way to lose weight is to burn up more calories than you eat.  It's that simple.  Water is good for you and it has no calories, but it doesn't reduce fat, regardless of what temperature it is.

I think it also raises your metabolism-- but I wouldn't recommend this as a method of weight loss.\n\nI am just so happy you spelled "lose" right! Thank you!

Yes.\n\nPlease, please please don't continue with this unhealthy diet treadmill as it will mess up your body's metabolism (that's how your body deals with food). Diets put the body under additional stress. You need fat on your body to ensure it develops properly and that you don't have bone thinning or fertility problems later in life. I suggest you go to http://www.dove.co.uk/uk_en/ and check out their campaign for real beauty feature - every woman deserves to be made to feel beautiful without conforming to an impossible to achieve image created by the media. \n\nIf you're worried about it, read the following carefully and think about what you want and why you want it. Is it to fit in or is it because you want to be healthy (not thin, thin isn't automatically healthy).\n\nThere is no such thing as a safe quick weight loss. Diets and diet pills don't work they just act on the pituitary gland (this is a part of the body in the brain that helps make your body work properly). Diets make the body lose water not fat (water loss means weight loss). It's good to exercise or run about and have fun as anything which raises your pulse and makes you sweat is good. If you don't eat enough the body goes into "famine" mode if it doesn't get enough norishment (ie, it thinks it's being starved) and stores anything it does get as fat, rather than glucose (glucose is a form of sugar which is what every cell in your body uses for energy). Every cell in your body respires (this is like breathing - good stuff goes in and bad goes out) and this uses energy, ie, food. Without enough energy, your metabolism slows and food is stored as fat. Incidentally, who says you need to lose weight and do you really need to lose the weight? The only thing guaranteed to get a body healthy (note I don't say "lose weight") is to exercise and eat a healthy, balanced, wide variety of foods plus the occasional treat in moderation (this stops any food becoming "naughty" and therefore craved). Please note that body muscles weigh four times more than body fat because the fibres are so much closer together. Some fat is important on the body though as it helps regulate hormonal levels in the body and prevents osteoporosis and other bone wasting diseases in later life. Some fat is important on women as too little can cause periods to stop and fertility problems. Girls are made differently to boys and a totally flat stomach and no hips isn't healthy on a woman. The question to ask yourself is - how do you look in a mirror - not how much do you weigh. If you think you look untoned, then include some excercise using light weights (low weight, lifted lots of times) into your life.\n\nI have friends who have taken up Pilates and although they never lost weight, their clothes looked fantastic on them, their posture improved and their entire bodies firmed up. I watched this happen. Pilates strengthens your core muscles (the ones that hold your skeleton in place) which makes you stand properly which makes you look slimmer. I believe that yoga also does this although I don't know anyone who has done this. Additionally, try dance (old style ballroom / salsa) as this is a fun way to tone up. Any excercise / activity that raises your heart rate and makes you sweat BUT IS FUN will ensure you stick to it and get fitter.\n\nAdditionally, drink lots of water. Lots of people eat when they are in fact thirsty. If you feel hungry, drink a glass of water first and if you're still hungry half an hour later, then eat. Eat sensibly and regularly and don't forget to eat breakfast (so named because it "breaks" the night's "fast"). Missing breakfast starts the day off badly as your body will just crave and store anything you eat later as fat. Try to avoid having too many fizzy, sugar filled drinks or a lot of fried (especially deep fried) foods. Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Try n

Without surgical methods, the simple answer is NO.  You need to maintain a calorie deficit either through a better diet or increased physical activity to effectively lose weight. \n\nYou can use a BMR calculator to help you assess your calorie expenditure.  This will give you some rough guidance on your daily calorie intake/consumption for your weight loss goals.\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/bmr.html\n\nUnfortunately, there is no easy way out and quick fixes will only hamper your long-term health.\n\nIt's all about lifestyle and programming yourself.

Try colon cleansing, it can reduce your weight by 3kg or so in 1 day. Kits are available over the counter at a pharmacy.\nYou drink a liquid that removes everything from your bowels ( by making you go to the toilet). Plan to do it on a day you dont need to leave the house...you'll need to be CLOSE to a toilet.\nPerformed occasionally, its actually good for you!\nYAY!

Yes it will...You would be depriving your body and brain of the vitamins it needs to stay healthy. The latest scoop on losing weight, is to feed your body, often during the day. It gets the metabolism working. I heard that it's best to have between 5 and 6 small meals a day, instead of 3 large ones. And drink lots of water. There are so many healthy ways to lose weight; look on the web...you'll find lots. Good luck...but do it the right way and stay healthy. It's not worth it to go on severe or strict diet...

Green Tea has so many great uses! Yes, I have lost weight, and no, it does NOT cause you to use the bathroom all of the time, lol. What it does is helps to speed up your metabolism...and that is only one of the benefits. Green Tea can settle an upset tummy..a Green Tea bag, placed on a scrape or a cut, can speed up the healing time AND acts as an antiseptic. I lost 12 pounds using Green Tea as a morning drink, and I still drink it for its many other benefits..(anti-oxidants,etc) The 12  pounds was NOT an immediate, over-night weight loss,and that`s not how any weight loss should be.I lost the 12 pounds in a little over 4 1/2 weeks.I had hit a plateau, and it really did work, and it tastes great iced. :)

Like a sauna belt?  Those things don't work.  To lose weight, you'll need to eat less and exercise more.

You could do what our teachers used to tell us to do and use break times to go to the toilet!! You certainly shouldn't be putting on weight through drinking less. Try drinking cranberry juice as you can drink less of it and it would help if you suffer from infections and the toilet visits would be less frequent. By the way what university did you get your qualifications from?

No.  If you want to lose fat, you have to consume less calories than you expend.  That's a combination of eating and activity.  If you move your body more, then you can increase the rate of loss, but eating regularly and exercising regularly is the best way to go.\n\nAnyone who tells you that you can eat whatever/however much you want to eat and lose weight by (a) eating certain things, (b) taking certain supplements or (c) reading a book, etc. etc. is just selling something.

Don't listen to the other answers.  losing weight can be done safely, but there is NO default safe amount.  It depends upon your health, your weight, your BMI, a whole bunch of factors.  The best thing to do is consult your doctor or failing that a fitness instructor/program writer at a gym.  Just picking a random amount to lose is not a safe or effective way to do it.
