Yes it will make you loose weight equal to your bowl contents but you will anyhow eat the same amount of food and that weight is gained.

The water isn't going to get stored any more than usual.  Your weight fluctuates.  Don't cut back on water!  You need it to flush everything out.  Just keep on, add more exercise, you'll see some movement.  And add more fiber to your diet!  One bowel movement a week isn't a lot.  Eat more greens, or take a fiber tablet if you can't get enough with your diet.

Your body doesn't work that way.  When you burn calories, the body loses weight in a certain order.  Same with gaining weight.  You can't lose weight in only one specific area.  You can only tone the muscles in that area, but that won't make the fat go away there.

Absolutely not! Becoming a vegetarian can cause your bowel movements to change. Some vegetables cause you to have\nconstipation or diarrhea at first until to your digestive tract becomes accustom to the new diet. Eat the more fibrous vegetable starting out and your bowels should return to normal. Good Luck on your new diet.

The small intestines absorbs many nutrients from the food you eat.  If part of it is removed,  nutrients are not absorbed and thus weight loss results.

Yes, it can help you lose weight.  That is only if you do fast paced movements repeatedly to get the blood flowing.\nIt helps tone your body more than help you lose weight.  Since belly dancing shows you how to isolate parts of your body from the rest, it works each muscle seperately(back, upper ab, lower ab, etc.)  It also helps shape your buns and thighs.  I highly recommend it and be serious about it when you dance.  Listen to your body and feel the movements, that way you know you're doing it right and you'll see results if you keep at it.

No it does not.The only thing that helps you loose weight is to take in less calories than you use.

As considered healthy by most doctors, having a bowel movement every day is "normal & healthy."  Though that may not be normal for you, every other day isn't a bad thing either. If you go longer than 2-3 days then you may have some constipation issues, or something else could be wrong. The bowel movement should pass easily, so if you have ( sorry to be graphic here) hard bowel movements that require pushing, you need to drink more fluids especially water. If you want a natural way to help increase bowel movements, start drinking a glass or two of prune juice every day. It may not taste great but it works. You need to keep an eye on your diet, because it can also have adverse affects on your regularity. If you don't eat enough leafy greens or vegetables period, and eat lots of junk food or mostly meats, that could be your problem.  Above all if you think you have a problem, speak to your doctor and see what he/she suggests. Good luck!

Not to be gross or anything but it just gets everything moving, if you know what I mean. Its partly why its reconmended to exercise a little if you having bad cramps or are constipated. At any rate it's probably nothing to worry about...after all better out then in

Straining when having a bowel movement will only lead to hemorrhoids as time goes bye.  You need more fiber in your diet.  Metamucil is a good source of fiber and it will stop the need to strain when having a bowel movement.

Diet pills and diets don't really help you lose pounds. You just lose water weight. One thing that really helped me with losing weight was drinking plenty of water, eating lots of vegetables for digestion and eater frequent smaller meals. That way your body isn't stressed out and holding onto extra weight because it thinks you're in starvation or stressful times.

What does your doctor say? If you can't handle exercise, then eat fewer calories. And if you are really having difficulty with your intestines when you exercise, you should check with your doctor. You could have a more serious condition that doesn't have anything to do with your weight. If your intestines bother you, then you should check for colon cancer or other conditions.

Everyone gains and losses weight in different parts of the body.\nFor you it will depend on where your weight goes on easiest...if it's your waist...your should see results with moderate weight loss.

Weight gain and loss is determined, at the most basic, by calories in versus calories out.  Exercise, by increasing calories out, is equally important to weight loss as diet change, which decreases calories in.  The real answer depends on the starting point.  For someone who has a horrendous diet and moderate exercise habits, the dietary change may be more important.  For someone with a reasonable diet, but very poor exercise habits, the exercise will play a greater role.  The efficient thing to do is to establish a balance utilizing both factors, really.

I cannot believe the answers you have gotten on this question.  Laxatives will not help you lose weight anymore than food poisoning..... it just makes you go to the restroom.  READ a laxative bottle, it is for constipation, NOT WEIGHT LOSS.  Working out and eating right is the only way to lose weight, regardless of all the "miracle answers" you hear.  Eating right does not mean no more junk.... just watch the quantity and quality of what you eat, take it slow.  I lost 80 lbs. with nothing but my drive and determination.  I slowly weeded out the bad and introduced the good, and the first time I went to the gym, I only stayed for like 15 minutes, by the time I lost 80 lbs, I was up to an hour.   Don't ever try stupid things like laxatives and pills from maui or whatever, thats dangerous, and I am sure you would rather be a little bigger than in a hospital sick.
