By now you have heard about the new supposed weight loss drug Alli? Basically, it is the over the counter version of Xenical (Orlistat) . Alli promotes weight loss by decreasing absorption of fat by the intestines, which reduces the number of calories you absorb. Personally, I do not see much of a benefit to it when you consider the negatives of it:
Gas with an oily anal discharge
Loose stools or diarrhea
More frequent bowel movements
Hard-to-control bowel movements
Uhmmm something tells me this will not be an avenue I explore... least of all the fact that from the limited research they have that the weight loss results are not that promising.. basically 3 pounds a year... WHAT??? 3 tiny pounds a year????... I DONT THINK SO!!!! in addition to the fact that a starter pack is 60.00 bucks... No thanks.. throw me an apple.. and lets go for a walk... no anal leakage for me...
No magic pills..
No magic potions.
No Magic
No
Just:
Portion Control
Healthy meals and snack
Exercise
Food Log
Communication
Motivation
EXILIRATION!!!!!!
Wish me well...
Wish You well...

Yeah, I don't think so!
Hi there Honi - here from Ice Cream Mama (who ROCKS!)
I'm with you. I have enough problems in that area with a medical condition I have. No way I want to mess with more of that.
I'll lose weight the healthy way or not at all.
I have never believed taking a pill for weight-loss was the answer.
Good lord, I think I'd say fat.
