Hazardous Weight Loss Methods

By Ricardo d Argence

The world today promotes the super thin as ideal and perfect body types. It does not to fit into that ideal body type as the thing is only more than 80% of the world. That leaves many people feeling like failures, and sometimes this leads people to go to drastic measures.

Today some would do just about anything to be thin, resulting in the fact that many if not most are killing themselves in pursuit of that perfect thin body. Too often, these practices may lead to developing what is known as an eating disorder.

In the pursuit of the perfect bodies some people abuse laxatives to rid their bodies of unwanted calories. The problem is that the body has already absorbed the calories and the only resulting weight loss is from loss of fecal matter and fluid, which will return within a day or two. The return of fluids will result in the person feeling the need to use the laxatives again.

Repeated us of laxatives when unneeded can result in the end user not being able to go to the bathroom without the use of them. Ultimately, laxative misuse may result in permanent injury to your bowels and possible fatality.

Another often used process is throwing up, a person may force themselves to throw up manually by sticking fingers down their throat or chemically. Syrup of Ipecac is a favorite among people with this type of eating disorder, what they don't know is that the normal use of this chemical is poisoning. It causes the user to immediately regurgitate everything in their stomach.

This practice puts a body under enormous stress, and contributes to irritation of the esophagus and erosion of tooth enamel. The chemicals can cause complications as well. Ipecac syrup has been linked to potentially fatal complications such as erratic breathing, an irregular heartbeat, and heart attaches.

Another method for fast weight loss is the use of diet pills or diuretics. There are several kinds of medications that are used in weight loss. They include diet pills, which can increase your metabolism, control food cravings, or both. Diuretics function by eliminating excess fluids from your system. A lot of these have gotten FDA approval, but that doesn't mean they are a completely safe option for weight reduction.

There are always some type of weight lose pills on the television or at the store. But you never know what they will do to you. So you have to really read the warning signs on the bottle. Make sure you read all the side affects that it could have if you took the pills. But there is nothing that works better than just simple exercise and watching what you eat.

By following safe weight loss methods you can lose weight and enjoy a healthy life. - 17273
