Laxatives

If you are using laxatives due to constipation, I suggest that you try cutting back on the amount of protein that you eat, increase the amount of fiber, and try stewing prunes until they are almost syrupy. Eat a good size bowl nightly. Highly stewed prunes work quite well and are natural. You may have to experiment on the amount of prunes necessary for you to get results. Also, you may have to add some oil to your diet. Do not let constipation go on. It is very bad for you and will slow your weight loss way down. (If you have become dependent on laxatives, please consult your physician)
