I have been on a hardcore diet for the past 3 days now and I have lost 2 pounds doing this. I know this seems fast and kind of retarded but it works. Basically you drink a laxative tea before you eat anything and you wait an 1hr. And after waiting for that long you eat a bowl of salad. My salads aren't fun since it's just lettuce prepackaged, then I use a little bit of dressing over it. All 3 meals have been like this since those 3 days. Just nothing but lettuce and laxatives. The tea I drink is an asian tea that makes you crap that it hurts. I would suggest this to people that can handle lots of pooping lettuce and dont forget the water. Drink lots of water. But anyways I have been doing this for 3 days now and lost 2 pounds. That's crazy. I could be losing more but I drink energy drinks before I work out. Because trust me salad doesnt not give u energy for ur day.
(oh yeah I have been depressed because I miss eating what I like and this is a crash diet. I cry myself to sleep sometimes because of this. Oh well at least I got it down right)

At first I thought I was going to read something on the Master Cleanse, but this isn't it. Lettuce doesn't have much nutritional value to it. I mean leafy greens are good and all, but you need more then that. You are not giving your body what it needs, and losing to much weight to fast is very dangerous...it's just as bad as gaining weight to fast.
Crash diets hardly ever work, and when you come off of them you can easily gain the weight right back. It's better to change your food habits slowly, so you can continue the healthy changes for the rest of your life.
I think you should just try something new because this "diet" sounds way to unhealthy.

This is not a healthy way to lose weight and you will be damaging your health and surely we diet to improve our health. You should never take laxatives as you can damage your bowels and actually stop them from working properly. You will be feeling depressed because you won't have any goodness in your body and may end up ill.
Why not just eat nice tasty salads and take a nice walk each day and listen to some music and have a bit of a dance each day. that would be a much better way to lose weight. the problem with doing it your way is when you end this way of eating you will put all the weight back on as you have not made any real changes in your day to day life which is what you need to do. We shouldn't diet but make lifestyle changes that we can continue with for all our lives, think of becoming more healthy and try to aim for good health.

this is potentially dangerous. you can end up in the hospital with a bleeding butt. the poop can rip the insides of your colon. even with the water. you can also put on every pound plus some.

What you are describing is the beginning of an eating disorder. I don't know who "tipped" you about this diet, but it has bulemia written all over it. Laxatives are not a good way to lose weight. The weight that you are losing is essentially muscle as well as fat, and one of the quickest muscles to degrade is the heart. Be careful!! You should continue your practice of eating salads and drinking water, but don't use this tea as a weight-loss remedy anymore. It's bad for you and extremely dangerous!
