Weight Loss Drugs

Alli, the first FDA-sanctioned diet drug to be sold without a prescription, is already making huge sales - and profits. But look out for the embarrassing side effects.

It is predicted that 5 to 6 million Americans a year will buy this drug, despite that the drug's official website states "it's probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work." Ack!!

Didn't we see this before in a prescription version? I remember because of the side-effects that some of my clients who were taking it were experiencing - the same side effects of this drug. These include, "gas with oily spotting, loose stools and more frequent stools." And they say colonics are bad for you?

This drug works by causing your body to expel fats - so you don't absorb them. The problem here is that there is no distinction between good and bad fats. Many of my clients that were taking this pill were getting side effects like dry skin, fatigue and depression. Interesting... all effects of being deficient in the Essential Fatty Acids which are necessary for healthy skin, hair and brain function!

The website (myalli.com) also states that you must make a decision to eat right so you can lose weight. If you're going to do that - then do you really need a drug? I mean... it's not like it's an appetite suppressant or anything. (Maybe the side-effects are, though.)

Just my opinion... it doesn't take a rocket scientist - wait - It doesn't take a medical researcher to add two plus two here. Oily, loose stools in my pants and I have to eat right anyway, or eat right and replace the drug with mild exercise. Shoot, I'd even opt for a cleansing program - at least I don't have to wear dark pants for the embarrassing moments, and I just might get healthier!

I just had to get my two cents in here about yet another drug on the market while at the same time so-called "experts" claim that a detox diet could be bad for your health. Eating right is always good for you, taking herbs will not hurt you (as long as you aren't taking drugs), and a colonic will not strip your colon.
