They aren't defined as a laxative because they aren't. Fiber is NOT a laxative.
In my opinion your bowel movements were normal for someone going through dieting and changing food intake. If you take lots of protein and very little else you will get constipated. Take fiber and you won't notice any difference when dieting.

That said a friend of mine gave me some and they work OK. They don't completely stop the hunger but it calms the craving down a lot. I've used it on and off for the past few months and didn't notice any of the conditions LaRondo mentioned.

I do not think I would go out and buy the stuff. It is expensive. You can get protein powder anywhere. I wonder if places like Chamberlains or Whole Foods has similar products. I would bet they do and a lot cheaper.
