Doctors are warning against a viral weight-loss hack circulating on social media in China that claims people can lose up to 4 kilograms in two days. The trend reportedly involves consuming glycerin enema products with tea, a practice health experts say is dangerous and misleading.
According to doctors, any sudden drop on the scale from this method is not actual fat loss. Instead, it is linked to fluid loss and disruption of the body’s normal balance, which can leave people dehydrated and weak rather than slimmer in any meaningful or healthy way.
Medical experts say the biggest risks include dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, both of which can become serious enough to require emergency care. These problems can affect how the body functions and may quickly turn a social media fad into a medical crisis.
The warning highlights a broader concern around fast-fix weight-loss trends online. Doctors say methods that promise dramatic results in days often rely on harmful shortcuts, and this latest hack appears to be another example of a risky practice being mistaken for real fat reduction.
