Can cocaine really make you lose weight, and if so how much do you have to do?

As with most other habit-forming drugs, frequent use of cocaine causes the user to focus mainly on the high received from that drug, and other needs take a lower priority (sometimes much lower).  In this case, a cocaine user might be more concerned with the high from the cocaine that he or she uses it to "replace" most of his or her food intake.  Even basic personal hygiene, such as bathing and brushing one's teeth, might be lower on their list of priorities because in their minds: "They gotta have that high!"\n\nAs with other things in life, misinformation can really prove detrimental.  It's sad to see the way some people fall into traps like this, with very minimal chances of getting out.

cocaine is made from the leaves of the coca plant - about 10LB of leaves tomake 1Lb of cocaine.\n\nChemicals are used also but nothing terribly elaborate.\n\nSo "man modified" - but simply chewing the leaves "works" - and locals DO chew the leaves - for both recreation purposes and for pain relief

This is living proof that you can loose a lot more than a few pounds of body fat.  You forgot to add that another thrilling "side effect" is the ability to pull your own teeth, and cut out the moles on your back all by yourself! This site reminds me of the old commercials with an egg frying in a pan making the statement "your brain on drugs". This new quick cook stuff is crap and so are the people who make it, as well as the cities who sanction it for money.  \nscrew the people and the money...what about the earth!!!

Well it doesn't look like it is a superdrug for weightloss and I think you are not objective about the drug. I bet it has some negative side effects. If it doesn't then I think it would be used as a drug for anything other than weightloss. Most likely it will be used for smoking cessation or for increasing short term memory and the doctor would tell you that you would lose 20 pounds a year as a side effect. It might even be prescribed for Korsakoff's Syndrome in addition to Thiamine.

There is one study that suggests artificial sweeteners increase cortisone, a hormone that can cause weight gain.  It has nothing to do with not satisfying your craving for sweets.  However, cortisone really doesn't increase your weight, it increases your appetite.  If you follow any diet in which you are watching the amount of calories you consume, you can have as much Diet Soda as you want, and it will not effect your weight.  Regular soda is MUCH worse than any diet soda.  Not only is regular soda high in calories, but those calories come from high fructose corn syrup - a particularly nasty sugar that actually turns off your sensation of being full.  So, if you are going to watch your calorie intake (and how many you burn, too), you should be fine.  I do recommend Coke Zero, however, because drinks sweetened with Splenda are better for you than with Aspartame.

Yes you can lose weight from them. They also rid your body of toxins. They may even help your metabolism because when your colon is full it slows your system.

No. The only thing that works is your determination to lose weight.  No product will help unless you truly want to do it for yourself.

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant, which does not last that long. There are no long-term effects. The most dangerous aspects of cocaine are --\n1) The junk they add to it\n2) Getting arrested for a victimles crime\n3) Because it is illegal, you have no idea of the purity

First of all, u are doing it the wrong way...U MUST eat 3 meals a day even if they are small ones.  Eat more vegetables and lean meat.  Cut down on your coke and go into diet coke or coke zero.  Be careful, what u are telling me is that u are going to make yourself sick.  If u need help go see your doctor

No, I dont need to lose any weight, but I looked up what it is, and it seems to be mostly caffeine in it, with a few vitamins...it'd probably be cheaper for you to have caffeine/coffee with a multivitamin.

If you want me to find out about what a friend did, I can do that.  But, its not a pretty thing.  Basically theres a little list of stuff you can eat for a month, and you have to drink this really nasty drink.   The only problem is, she didn't really gain alot of energy.  \n\nNow, what I do.   This is going to sound nerdy or whatever, but, I play ddr (Dance Dance Revolution.) from when I get home till when I sleep.  It makes you a little sore, and sleepy.  But the next day you have alot of energy and feel awesome.  I do it for about 3 hours a day.  And regardless of what people think, its an awesome work out.  Ive lost 30 pounds doing that.   Though, you can't eat alot of bad food, like candy an stuff.  Also, drink alot of water when exercising regardless of the exercise.  It helps to lose weight and detox.  \n\nNow, cut certain things from your diet.  Anything thats Soda, aka coke cola, Pepsi, etc.  Not only do they make you gain weight, but they damage things.  Mocha's are also a good idea to cut, if you drink them.  The large ones have around 1000 calories, depending on the place, company, etc.   Another big one is, don't eat fast food.  That is worse for you then soda or mochas.  Ive experienced it myself, but, the more I eat, the less energy I have, the more I hurt, the more weight I gain, but thats pretty much known now.   It may be hard to break, but thats because of the mass MSG in the food.  Its as addicting if not more then coffee.  But, it does alot more damage then coffee.   \n\nSo, stay away from fast food, soda, and if possible, mocha's.  Not coffee, but the mochas because of the milk and all the other stuff.  And stay away from MSG, mono sodium Glutamate.  That is in alot of things now, canned food, chips, fast food...just watch those, and you'll gain energy, and even if you don't exercise, you will start to lose weight.  But, the more you exercise, the more you'll lose weight.\n\nIf you don't have ddr, I would run or jog for a couple hours.  When you get back, you'll be tired, but after a while you'll actually get more energy, and feel better.

No. It really won't make you lose weight, it will just make you not hungry for a short period of time, but it will also make you very sick.

I agree with the other answers out there.  However, there's a misconception out in the world that drinking a lot of water will magically make you weigh less.\n\nIt certainly will help in your diet plan, but it is not a cure all.  It will certainly make you feel fuller and you'll burn some calories processing the water. However, I read that you'll burn a whopping 60 calories a day extra if you drink a 2 liter bottle of water every day. That's 4 pounds in a whole year (excluding exercise to and from the bathroom).  Probably not the goal you were shooting for.\n\nYour best bet to weigh less is exercise and healthy eating.  There's no magic method or pill.   Use a web site such as http://www.fitday.com to determine how many calories you need to eat and burn throughout the day.  It's free and they don't spam.  Check out magazines like Men's Fitness, Men's Health, Shape and Fitness to learn about exercise routines and healthy eating tips. \n\nThe bottom line is: educate yourself about your body and what goes into it. Practice what you learn and the weight loss will follow.\n\nGood luck.

Cocaine is not at all equal to sugar.  One thing they do have in common is that snorting either of them is unhealthy for your body.

FIrst of you probably don't need to worry about the extra weight the cigarettes will probably kill you anyway, but if your really interested in losing a few pounds cut the calorie intake to 1200 to 1500 calories a day.  And walk, walk, walk.
