We had talks of this in our headlines last year, since them I haven't heard to much except that a few people who have tested have lost more weight than other methods. I didn't see anything about it over here tho. (not today) ~Joey

Hi Joey, If it works (which I doubt, without serious side effeects) it will be all over the news. It is really better to lose weight the old fashioned way:)

Well that would be a good point. Although it could be there only help and if tests are fine then it should be. Those examples I mentioned was doing exercise and eating healthily as the pill I'm talking about helps with stopping the function in the brain which makes us desire food. I haven't heard of one which just takes the pounds off. :) ~Joey

I don't knopw about that but my advice is control your food habits progressively. Mothing can reduce weight like having four glasses of water on empty stomach, excersise and drinking two glasses of water before you start your meal. eat small meals frequently than ravishing three times a day. Nothing can beat that.

Yeah, I did hear something about that too. I guess it's called Alli. I think it's supposed to be the first over the counter weight loss pill that's actually approved by the FDA or something. I'm interested to see what people think of it.

Yes. It's called Alli and sounds like ally. It is OTC and is the same as prescription Xenical but half the strength. It works by blocking the absorbtion of fat in the small intestine. Side effects include diarrhea and gassiness. People that are expecting large losses of weight using this pill will be disappointed. Weight loss can be accelerated thru diet and exercise, and diet and exercise will be necessary to maintain any weight loss. Alli will cost about $150 for each three month bottle. Since it is OTC the purchaser must cover the total cost.
