Laxatives...You lose water weight as opposed to actual fat. To feel less full/bloated? Also, if this is an EDed person they may well just be very constipated and need to go. That would eliminate weight too....

It's not that EDed people want to go to the toilet all day, they like the empty feeling they get from laxies. Unfortunately this idea is quite hard for most people to grasp because the mindset of an EDed person is not very logical. It's just like trying to understand why some vomit.

Oh yes, and not a good idea to try as excessive use can end you up with a bag attached to you as your "insides" are too damaged to handle waste anymore. Colonostomy? Hmm, not sure, may have got that wrong.

Maybe, but that 5lbs would be made up of food/waste from inside you, not fat.

laxitives speed up your lower bowel much more than upper bowel, so the main thing that happens is less water and ions are absorbed during passage. Therefore you lose electrolytes (and in a relatively short time can seriously endanger your health) and of course water.
