Join a gym, check! Get new workout wear, check! Start new diet, check! You have your weight loss plans underway to hit your new years resolutions this year. Your first week goes well and you follow your plans closely.. well except for that lunch out on Thursday.
Its OK because you have a exercise program, check! Fourth week is getting a little easier, your loving your new lifestyle.. except for the 6 beers on Saturday and the late night McDonald’s you got on the way home. But it is only your second week, slips happen right? Sound like you? Maybe things are not going according to “The Plan”. You head to the store to find your weight loss “wonder pill” in hopes to help you get back on track.
You notice a fat loss pill named, Alli™, aimed absorb fat! AHA! With your current eating habits, this looks like the winner! Taking it home, you start it IMMEDIATELY (since you had some fries with your healthy turkey sandwich at lunch), you feel great already! Until you notice that your stomach hurts and your last trip to the bathroom wasn’t pretty.
Glaxo Smith Kline’s Alli™, is the first OTC weight loss pill that is FDA approved for weight loss advocating a “low fat diet”, and “low-intensity exercise” to its consumers. It only works on the enzymes that break down the fat but not carbohydrates and protein.
But research shows, with weight loss also comes the replacement of bad habits with good ones which does not come in a pill. Users are warned that weight loss is a slow process, and it may have side effects such as, “gastrointestinal discomfort” and “oily discharge”. With an average weight loss of seven to 15lbs in studies over 4 months, is it worth it? My vote is save your cash, and discomfort, get professional assistance in making real changes. The new you is there for you to discover!
