I took Xenical a few years back and didn't loose anymore than with my regular dieting so I doubt I half-dosage of that will do me any good.

This sort of pill only works really well in people suffering from morbid obesity.

As a nurse I really think people will overuse this med just as others are overused. Eat less and exercise....no need for diet pills. Diets pills IF they work are just a quick fix.

It only deals with one factor -- eliminating some of the fat from a high-fat diet.

What about reducing sugars which are insidiously incorporated into 99% of food in the grocery store?

I'm with the diet and exercise pill.

They had a whole show on this on my radio station this morning. I was laughing so hard I nearly had to pull over. Here's why:

Side Effects

Because XENICAL works by blocking the absorption of dietary fat, it is likely that you will experience some changes in bowel habits. These bowel changes are a natural effect of blocking the fat from being absorbed. They generally occur during the first weeks of treatment; however, for some people they may continue for 6 months or longer while on XENICAL. These changes may include gas with oily discharge, an increased number of bowel movements, an urgent need to have them, and an inability to control them, particularly after meals containing higher amounts of fat than are recommended.

They were saying that you'd have to wear depends if you took this stuff. I mean I'm all for losing weight and lord knows I need to but what in the name of Sam Hill is an "oily discharge"??????

Yep.

I never trust these kinds of pills. In 5 years, warnings will come out on commercials "Did you take such-and-such diet pills? If so, you could suffer a rare but serious side affect: death. Please contact us if you have ever taken it, if you are still alive." (I know I'm exaggerating a tad )

I remember the whole fen-phen thing.

I feel bad for everyone who has to be around you. I hope you at least only wear brown pants.
