Waiting to pick up my wife's prescription at the pharmacy today, I was looking at the display for the new high promising diet pill Alli.
I cynically thought that here is something else that will come and go and found myself hoping it won't cause too much damage in the process like Ephedra did.
In our quick-fix culture, I am sure that thousands of people will already have tried Alli - and they have probably discovered that the side-effects, that almost make the wearing of Depends mandatory, are more than they are willing to live with.
There are no shortcuts - diet and exercise over a consistent period lead to sustained weight loss, while retaining bowel control!
