Do enema aid in weight loss

by willbhotagain, Jul 22, 2006 12:00AM
Does anyone have information on at home enemas? I heard that they help weight loss and are alot less expensive than colonics.

I'm sorry but I have no idea the rational here. A clean colon
will take the calories you ingested into stomache or system
& you'll get thin? Is food going to slide out your stomache to
a smooth shoot? An enema is for constipation/a pre-surgery/a
colonoscopy. By the time stuff hits your colon, the calories
have already decided to go where they want. Drink more ice water. A 6z glass burns 25 calories while warming up to absorb
in tissue. It hydrates/helps regularity/plumps wrinkles. Just
control portions/move more/stay hydrated. Metabolism will shift & you'll burn calories in your sleep. Too many enemas can cause
colon damage.

I heard that theres a theory that it helps in weighloss in the sense that, firstly it dislodges stale foeses (sp) and also the calcified foeses which Ive seen for myself on a healthfarm thing on I think UKTV style. I agree above it prob aint a good idea to do all the time, but maybe once would be ok. Ive also read and heard on the prog that because ur removing the bad toxins from ur body it makes u feel better within urself. That may in turn give u the enthusiasm to do the above cos ul be able to motivate urself more.

Im also interested to know what people think on this cos I also have thought of doing this. I think u just have to be careful and do it sensible and know ur not gonna lose major weight but because it helps you not be constipated etc this prob helps. The people from that health farm felt better and looked happier. Even if u dont really believe it works, if the person doing it believes it works and therefore feels better I think theres a benefit to it. Although my dr said she didnt think so, but everyone has their opinion.

I think if u do try it, just be careful and dont go over the top, as with anything

My intention was not to do it often. I have read articles that say that cleansing your colon is a way to detoxify your system. We can literally have 3 or more lbs of waste in our system that won't come out any other way. Thanks for the info.

They sure do help.  It's a favorite method of anorexics and bulimics.  Eat right and exercise instead.

In a healthy colon there is anywhere from 3 to 15 pounds of undigested fecal matter. This toxic material makes it more difficult for you to absorb nutrients, it slows down your metabolism, it makes you susceptible to all types of allergies including food allergies, gives you constipation, gas, indigestion, and acid reflux, and is a breeding ground for Candida yeast [which can make you depressed].

Somehow bowel management got lost and became a taboo subject, although a huge portion of the diseases of civilization are due to improper functioning of the bowel. For years enemas have been a secret trick used by models and actresses to flatten their tummy before an event. With a good enough diet, enemas are not needed. However, most people (even those who purport to do so) do not have a good diet all of the time. For me, the thought of sitting on all of that rotting, putrified matter day after day are enough to assure me that twice weekly enemas cannot be harmful. Try one you instantly feel lighter and much better.

I can say from experience, this enema or any colonic will not cause immediate weight loss, however, if you have trouble moving your bowels, this is great for release of plaque & feces, including flatter stomach(for the time being). It's not going to kill stored fat deposits though. As everybody knows. Good diet (fruits, veggies, water...etc) combined with cardio & moderate weight lifting will dramatically lean your body and make it feel amazing. I Do highly reccommend a coffee enema to achieve the best results. Good luck:)
