Your Daily Gross-Out

I've been looking more deeply into Alli, the newest and hottest diet drug available to the masses. According to the website http://skinnyondiets.com, there is the possibility of losing 50% more weight with this product than going it alone. HOWEVER, studies also indicate some embarrassing/disgusting side effects. Website quotation, take it away!

"Although Alli is somewhat new, there is already quite a storm of controversy surrounding it. Many individuals believe that even though Alli is half as strong as Xenical, that it should still only be used under the guidance of a physician because of the possible side effects. Others believe that it will simply enforce the “quick fix” mentality that many individuals already have about weight loss.

Rather than enduring uncomfortable and possibly embarrassing side effects in order to eliminate some of the fat from one’s diet, many dieters may agree that it is far easier and safer to simply consumer less fat and fewer calories to begin with. An all-natural appetite suppressant like hoodia gordonii has been shown to help control cravings and reduce total calorie intake."

Yeaaah, the thing about diets is that nobody likes doing them, myself included. I think that many consumers will look at this product while eating a creme-filled doughnut and say, "Hmm, that sounds like a great idea. How bad can the side effects possibly be?" Let me put it to you this way...if you eat said doughnut while on Alli, please wear a Depends because you're gonna need it! Side effects include diarrhea, extra unabsorbed fats leaving via the rear and without warning, cramping, etc. As a young woman who hasn't experienced incontinence since she was 2, I will leave this drug on the shelf-along with the creme-donut.
