Probably not the best alternative to a healthy diet and quality exercise.

veruse of laxatives is the beginning of eating disorders/disordered behavior.

Also - overuse of laxatives can backfire - your system starts to rely on them to stimultae your bowels instead of working naturally.

You can also become dehydrated...

many detracting factors for this behavior.

try eating a healthy, balanced diet , getting enough fiber and water and exercising regularily.
