No, this is not true. The weight you lose will be the same weight you’d be releasing by defecating. It’s not your fat and it won’t help your waist line. It’ll be no more than a pound or two AT MOST of feces that you’d be flushing down the toilet anyway.

Some other myths about this:

Colon cleansing will eliminate toxins and impurities that are built up in your intestines. FALSE! Your body uses the liver to remove toxins from your body, not the intestines. If you were constantly constipated, however, there could be a high buildup of bacteria.

Colon cleansing clears feces from the pockets of your colon.
FALSE! There are no pockets in your intestines or colon. It’s one long path that makes a lot of turns but does not branch off into ‘pockets’ at any point.

Wow! You’d really have to be constipated for that to work!

Generally, no. I listened to a doctor address this issue. It is a scam!

If you watch Oprah, you should know immediately that this is a myth. It will shed a minute ammount (1-15 lbs.) and you will be out quite a bit of money. Definitely not worth the discomfort.

yes it does help with lighting the load.. but remember we have our intentines full of sh–. So, this is only a temporary situation. It does give you more energy and does take a few pounds off.. But its not the solution to losing weight..

You won’t lose that much weight. Maybe a few pounds. What happens is you are just cleaning out the intestines and just getting rid of the stuff inside so yea you are going to lose a little something but not that much to make a difference like that.
