No, it just makes you lazy. The bowel will soon lock up on you.

It can work, but you’re right, its not the right way to lose weight. When my husband joined the military he needed to get rid of a few extra pounds nearly over night and took laxatives. Your body can build up waste that doesnt come out and that can shed about 15 pounds if you spend the night on the toilet, lol.
the one pro: it will make you lose weight super fast
the cons: you will not get the nutrents from your food, you bowel will start acting up, you will become relient on them, once you stop taking them your body will store up your fat because it thinks it is just going to be gone again laxatives are not great and they make you have diarehia which isnt fun at all
