The most disgusting “treatment effect” of Alli that I’ve heard of is the tendency for orange fat bubbles in your shit. No really. Orange. Bubbles. Oil bubbles. In your shit! EWWWWW!

Oh yeah that Olestra stuff. Years ago we got some of those Doritos with that stuff in it. My hubby was eating them like no tomorrow. I kept warning him. He spent most of the next day on the toilet. It was miserable for EVERYONE in our house. Feel worst for the dog and her acute sense of smell….

But yeah, no freaking way I’m using that crap. Surprised tho my MIL hasn’t tried that. She’ll try any fad diet or crappy piece of cheap fitness equipment found on those shopping channels…

I can’t help but think that something that does this cannot really be healthy for you, despite what the FDA may say (they did approve that other weight loss drug that turned out to cause heart problems, after all).

I have personally found that the best way to avoid nutritionally poor foods is not to have them in my house.

Of course, I am totally failing at that this week with the dozen Krispy Kremes we got on Sunday . . . (we had a coupon!)

And for what? Haven’t these people been keeping up with obesity research? *No* evidence that weight loss is associated with improved health, and *lots* of evidence that dieting is associated with damages to health. (Can I have a d’uh now?) Dieting actually kills people faster; being up to 80 pounds overweight either has *no* effect on your health or (get this) makes you live a *longer*.

Being *underweight* is what will kill you the fastest, btw.

I bet you know who I blame for everyone believing exactly the opposite all these years.

At least with Olestra the problem was a SIDE EFFECT.

With alli this is being called a TREATMENT EFFECT. This is the point of the medication.

Sort of reminds me of that cooking oil a few years ago.
I can’t remember what it was called, but on the bag of potato chips, it states, “may cause anal leakage”
Well, if *that* doesn’t curb your appetite for a chip, I don’t know what would.

I think “May cause butt piss” would be just as effective. Seriously, that is the nicest, gentlest way I’ve ever heard to describe losing control of one’s bowels. It’s like A Clockwork Orange when they give the guy the medicine that makes him associate vomiting with violent behavior. Tasty treats = explosive D. “Alli, behavioral conditioning for today’s woman!”
