My friend tried Alli, and she isn't exactly a heffer, but she had about 30 pounds of weight to lose at the time. I heard stories like this. And it wasn't once.

I know a girl that went on Alli (even though she didn't need to.) She told us from the get-go about the side-effects she expected. Which basically ammounted to what this website claims. I don't know if she actually went through it. Maybe the though of pooping her pants was enough to deter her.
If you read the packaging for most weight loss drugs, what you find there can be pretty horrifying. I was waiting on my parents at a Wallgreen's, and started reading the boxes on the weight loss pills. To say I was horrified would be an understatement. It'd be much easier to just exercise instead. And less messy.

The article is still a hilarious read...the way they go about explaining things. I couldn't help but laugh.
obviously it would be a shitty situation to be in....pun intended.

I've personally found that reducing my fat content doesn't really help me lose weight (or maintain weight). However, I have found that cutting way back on sugar (look at the labels in what you eat and look out for sugar, or high fructose corn syrup in the top three ingredients) has helped me lose a bunch of weight and keep it off.

That makes sense. Sugar produces insulin, which is an indicator for the body to store fat. If you eat a ton of processed sugar, including High Fructose Mercury Syrup, your body is going to break it down quickly and move it to fat cells.

I should also mention, some of the diet pills whose boxes I was reading didn't have horrible side effects. The ones that didn't were to be used along with diet and exercise. Riiiiiiight. So how do you know the weight loss isn't what you would have lost with just diet and exercise.
It's either a sham, or it makes you shit yourself. Diet pills are lame.

losing weight "artificially" i guess you would call it is mostly dumb.
build muscle, eat right, do cardio if you want to speed it up. lose weight in no time, but the problem is most people dont stick to their meal plans like they are supposed to, or dont exercise when you are scheduled to.
if you lose stuff the real way, you keep it off (better than losing it by some BS pill) cause you are helping your body's metabolism . also, muscle burns more calories idle than fat. simply by having MORE muscle you can burn more calories. this applies to the ladies too, i hate hearing the excuse "i dont wanna get bulky" for not lifting weights. you won't get bulky overnight, your goals would have to be set for that. i know guys that train very hard for months, and don't get "bulky" so yea...

stay away from the BS pills, and from most supplements TBH.

Actually, women lack the testosterone levels needed to actually become bulky, mostly at all. So it's an unfounded fear.

I tried this for a little while and had absolutely zero issues. Good lord, I didn't even get the farts. 
(I know, TMI...) The problem is most people don't follow the diet that goes along with it--this is intended to help, along with diet and exercise, and in my experience, it does, somewhat. I certainly understand being unable to lose weight and being willing to try whatever. But there is no "magic pill" and you're *always* going to have to eat right and get exercise.
The way I understand it, this is a less powerful version of a drug that has been around a while, which was prescribed for very overweight people who really needed to lose weight. From what I hear, that one had serious side effects that were pretty unavoidable.

Which brings up what I already asked: How do you know it's the pill that's helping you lose weight? How do you know you wouldn't have lost that weight with a change of diet and activity level, alone?
Diet pills = sham

No, they're not. they do actually supress appetite, but it's not healthy weight loss. More than likely, you're starving your body and it's burning more muscle than fat.

I can accomplish everything this article states by eating White Castles, Ex-Lax, and warm Guinness, exclusively! :zombie:uke:

It also depends on your body type and the kind of workout you are doing. Even the body types that tend to lean towards "streamlining" can bulk up if they're doing the type of workout that breeds that type of muscle build.
And that comes from years, not months. Someone would have to be in the gym all day and downing nothing but protein drinks for their muscles to bulk up and the fat layer around them to drop off.
As for the diet stuff, some people just need something to kickstart their metabolism. The real question is how they use that stuff, in addition to the lifestyle changes they're making.

I re-read this again, and laughed so hard that, well, I'm currently behind the shopping mall, trying to ditch my horrifyingly soiled undergarments....
