It would probably help me but I think I'll stick to living in the Gym until all the side effect horror stories come out first!

Nothing new.

Apparently, this causes uncontrollable wind and bowel movements. I personally will stick to the salad.

I hear that they will serve you outside on the street, all those that can't get through the doors

[squarebear]

Hehe!

Suggestion.

When you have a long URL like this, go to tinyurl, paste in your long URL and it gives you a nice short URL.

Paste the short URL here.

Less chance of the long URL not working or getting chopped in to sections.

Here is your long URL as a short URL

If all the fatties use this pill, will the side effects contribute to global warning?

[Julnar]

warming even! Or maybe warning actually works better...

[WiseOldSage]

I don't think I'll bother cos I liked this comment from the page!

I think it will be a shame if fat people use this pill and lose weight because for some reason they always look jolly and i don't think you see many thin jolly people.

:o)

Personally, I hate these short URLs as I don't know where they are linking to so I will often not click on them. Carry on using long URLs.


Regarding this story, I will also not use this pill but I am currently dieting / changing my life style (lost 3 1/2 stone so far). I go to the gym at least 3 times a week and eat far less than I used to.

However, I do think that these are a good pill for people to have as it concentrates their minds on what food contains fat. Although it may be obvious to some people, it is not obvious to everyone.

Also, it means that people are less likely to binge eat - as there will be serious reprussions.

It seems to be a bit like Antabuse which can be prescribed to alcoholics.

I wouldn't like a weekend on the curry and Guinness whilst taking these pills...

[kjc]

Or a Big Mac, fries and mcflurry!!

what a mess that would be!

As an aside Vic, a long URL is no guarantee of destination.

http://www.google.com

[Oneeyedvic]

True squarebear, but on your link I can see in the bottom left hand corner the destination of your link - can't see the destination of a tinyurl

There is only one sure fire way of losing weight - eat less and exercise more.

It really is as simple as that.

On the assumption this piece of quackery works, presumably, if the person taking it doesn't change their lifestyle, as soon as they stop taking it they will balloon.

There's a young girl in my office - early 20s - she is probably 18 or so stone and always complaining that no matter what she tries she can't lose weight.

The other day she was complaining about this at 10am whilst chowing down on a sausage roll, at lunchtime she had a footlong subway, crisps, cake, a chocolate bar and full fat coke and then jumped in her car into town, which is all of a 1/4 of a mile away.

The irony of her situation was clearly lost on her.

Giving her a magic pill is the last thing she needs - she needs to realise that eating less and exercising is the only true way to achieve weight loss.
