Alli, Weight Loss via Suffering


I normally hate watching TV and last night I was reminded why. The worst of consumer culture swarmed the airwaves around 12am in a cacophony of diet commercials. I was surprised to see one for the diet pill Alli because I heard it was removed from the market due to bad side affects, so I Googled it and the results were acutely disturbing:

Alli is still on the market but it causes you to loose weight in a punishing way; if you eat fatty foods your anal sphincter becomes useless. Yes, you will poo your pants and it will be greasy, noisy and possibly explosive. And even if you stick to a diet plan, there is a period of adjustment where you will experience "treatment effects" including

» Gas with an oily anal discharge
» Loose stools or diarrhea
» More-frequent bowel movements
» Hard-to-control bowel movements

I'm not exaggerating, this list is quoted directly from the Alli review at mayoclinic.com . The reason Alli produces such awful effects is that it works by preventing your body from absorbing part of the fat you consume, so that fat just zooms through your body as oily sludge instead. The less calories from fat you consume, the less painful your "treatment effects" will be.

And how much weight can you expect to lose while on Alli? It only works when combined with a restricted diet and exercise plan, and the website says it will not cause any weight loss on its own, merely increase the effectiveness of your diet plan by 50%. So if your own, non-diaper demanding diet plan would net you 10 pounds lost, Alli will make that 15.

How could this possibly be worth it?

  1. The Mayo Clinic created a weight-loss plan for people who needed a quick, drastic reduction to better their chances of surviving heart surgery. It was high protein and fat with very limited carbs and became a fad for awhile until it was replaced by the Atkins diet. You could create your own diet by combining that with the Alli pill.

  5. Marijuana is one of the most commonly abused illicit drugs in the United States. Though the possession and consumption of marijuana is banned and is considered illegal, its usage is still prevalent among teenagers as well as younger adults. Chronic marijuana use not only shows negative impact on the person's health, but also leads to significant negative effects on his/her daily life. ddruntz carts
