How does enema cleansing help you lose weight?
I just heard about it on the radio. In fact, it shocked me so I thought I misunderstood. Anyone out there enlighten me?
If there is one thing that Yahoo Answers is never short of .. it's misinformation.
Enemas and high colonics are two different things. Enemas are administered to clean out your rectum prior to an exam or procedure or if you have blockage. A colonic is more of a colon cleansing that people swear does wonders for them. The danger here is that you knock the system out of balance and the flora and fauna become uneven. Colon hydrotherapy, colonic irrigation were, at one point recommended for those that suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome but most doctors caution against it.
There are some that say that you can lose weight from it but the claims that you are carrying around pounds of waste in your system is a bunch of hoo hoo. If your system was that backed up you wouldn't be able to have a successful bowel movement nor would you be able to function without extreme gastro intestinal pain.

If you do a colon cleanse you can lose up to 10 lbs. of chit that has built up inside you.

i've never heard of such a thing, but i suppose it would work because by "purging" the intestines and draws out the bowel.
i would not think it would work for weight much, maybe water.

Nice smile I need to work on mine. This can be dangerous it is often called something like high colonic cleansing. Doing such regular can mess up your electrolytes the best way to loose weight is to visit a dietician or do one of the safer low carbohydrate diets such as the South Beach diet or Atkins but not the severe part of the diets. Everyone I know has lost weight on these. Veggies are your friends like my boss said who gained weight after a back injury and went on the Atkins diet. Walking has always made me loose weight need to do more and it does it sooo fast. It is aerobic (using oxygen) exercise which burns fat if you start huffing and puffing slow down because you are going into the anaerobic cycle and not burning off fat deposits. Swimming and easy bicycling have helped me. Walking with the kids in my family, to the post office, up to the college or with the dog all help me loose weight fast when I do it for about 20 minutes at least every other day but I walk fast but not to the point of effort. I did this when we only had one car for awhile.

It's a very temporary solution, and not very good for you in the long run. Our digestive system is full of useful bacteria that we need, and enemas upset the balance.

researchers have stated that they have found 25 pounds or more fecal material in people after they have passed away. so i could only guess that a regular enema cleansing would behelpful in cleansing the colon of added bulk and fecal material. which would help in losing weight .

It doesn't help a person lose the fat that's causing them to be overweight in the first place.

Coffee enemas cleanse your liver and gallbladder and help them work more efficiently. They are an important part of your overall metabolism.
You will still need to watch what you eat and exercise, but you will lighten the load on your system and feel less tired and fatigued. Feeling more energized might help you get off the couch!!! It has worked for me.
Coffee enemas are also great for migraines and to "ease off" coffee orally, wich is bad for you poor overtaxed adrenals. Adrenals pump out cortisol when you drink caffiene, not when you enema, which is thought to cause belly fat. Sound crazy to use coffee to get off of coffee? Think homeopothy! Treating like with like. Your body will thank you!!! Do some internet research on your own.
With any enema you choose do not forget to replace the good bacteria that you will be cleaning out with acidphilus pills or yogurt. You will also be cleaning out lots of yeast. Yeast also makes you feel tired and crave carbs. The yogurt helps couteract yeast too so you should eat it everyday anyway. Good luck!!!

Don't believe everything you hear, no pun intended, but it's a bunch of crap.
Anyone who has ever had a conlonoscopy knows very well that there is no such thing as a build up over years of waste inside you. If there were you wouldn't ever be able to eliminate your waste because there wouldn't be any room for it to pass through your system.
I you watch the monitor when the doctor does the colonoscopy, unless you are terribly diseased in some way, the inside of your colon is a nice bright pretty pink color, not all coated with crud like these people would like you to believe.
Enemas are no way to lose weight unless you take them daily and in large quantity so as not to give your body a chance to extract nourishment from what passes through your intestine.
Even at that, what you would lose if any would be minimal and could equally be lost by cutting down on how much you eat.
On the other hand, if you are looking for an excuse to use enemas, you don't really need one. Just take them and enjoy them whenever you have the opportunity.
Good luck.

You just lose the weight from your feces. About 2-3 pounds. You'll put it all back on when you eat again.
