Basically, as I understand it, when you eat food it goes through your stomach and then it travels through your bowels where the nutrients and water get gradually absorbed along the way. Coffee, as I understand it, stimulates the muscles in the bowels and causes the contents to move through the intestines more quickly. So if drinking coffee means that food will spend less time in the intestines, does that mean that less nutrients will be absorbed from the food than if no coffee was consumed?

        Excessive laxative use is a thing bulimics sometimes do. It will ruin your insides so probably not a good idea.

          Totally. And then comes the dependency on laxatives… They’re constipated without them, which causes hemorrhoids.

      If that worked I wouldn’t have spent so many months to go from overweight to normal, while still drinking a litre and half of coffee per day.
