About This Quote

The acronym FATLOSE stands for “Fecal Administration To Lose weight,” an example of please—pretty lame excuse for an acronym, scientists and experimenters. When people want to lose weight they are often told to use laxatives but this is not healthy or safe. It can lead to long-term health problems for the person who uses laxatives. People who are trying to lose weight need to find another way to reduce fat in their body. The answer is not laxatives, but rather a healthier way of life.
