I have finally managed to find the time to complete my "food from around the world" post. <BR/><BR/>So, SURPRISE!!! <BR/><BR/><BR/>enJOY,<BR/>Scott<BR/><BR/><BR/>p.s. I still think I am going to try and lose weight with good eating and exercise. Diet pills and poop stains kind of scare me.Scotthttp://blog.scottpot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090954006475363744.post-39070127651932330772007-07-15T15:01:00.000-07:002007-07-15T15:01:00.000-07:00Thanks for the comments folks.<BR/>Anonymous: thanks for sharing the link. here's the link from the page that you submit. I managed to see that someone has vouched for Alli in the comment too.<BR/>EDIT: blogger refused me to post href tag. :(<BR/>here's the link<BR/>http://v.mercola.com/blogs/public_blog/Doctors-Outraged--FDA-Ignored-Cancer-Risk-When-Approving-Alli-26668.aspx<BR/><BR/>Ellen, intancen, tk, Peter, Scott: I agree, however the poopie stain is the potential side effect if you don't follow the Alli dietary guideline. So it won't happen everytime (otherwise they won't sell the pill). But it will be pretty awkward when it happens.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous 2: ouch, you're right. My mistake there.<BR/><BR/>Ruth: Glad that you have good result with colesevelam. Since it's prescribed pill there was not much buzz about it despite its effect on blood cholesterol.Cherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13621621002197007621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090954006475363744.post-83767091760628647152007-07-15T08:17:00.000-07:002007-07-15T08:17:00.000-07:00I expected to have effects similar to or worse than I had with sugar alcohols. Instead, I've had no problems at all, unless you consider that a higher fat content in one's stool makes it a bit harder to flush. And I have lost a few pounds.<BR/>It may be because I'm on colesevelam. I found a patent by Hoffman-Roche which claims a synergy for orlistat and bile acid sequestrants: the orlistat helps lower cholesterol more than the sequestrant alone, and the sequestrant mitigates the side effects of the orlistat.Rutchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090954006475363744.post-87545090231822514582007-07-14T12:51:00.000-07:002007-07-14T12:51:00.000-07:00"As an illustration, let's use salmon sushi which has 200 calories per ounce serving. If I take Alli then I would be able to reduce the calories to 150. So I could save 50 calories just by consuming Alli. But does it worth the side effect?"<BR/><BR/>Uhh... it blocks 25% of the fat, not 25% of the calories...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090954006475363744.post-71701258316701226462007-07-13T15:14:00.000-07:002007-07-13T15:14:00.000-07:00Yeah, don't use pills to diet. It's like feeding yourself with chemically-produced stuff. I would avoid any medications if I can. They have to bad for you. Drugs alter your body's cells. There isn't a single drug that does not have any side effects. That's how life works.peterhttp://health168.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090954006475363744.post-90140466322068737922007-07-13T13:57:00.000-07:002007-07-13T13:57:00.000-07:00Wow, it's already fricken freaky friday? Where does the time go?? And this post, miss, is certainly freaky! GlaxoSmithKline might want to consider sending out some diapers with these freaky diet pills. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I want to lose weight but I think I'll pass and hang on to my bowel control for now. <BR/><BR/><BR/>On another note, maybe a good topic for discussion/post would be colon cleansing and the effects there of (pretty freaky, too). Just an idea, just in case you are looking for more material to write about ;). <BR/><BR/>Take care, Cherry, and a good weekend to you!Scotthttp://blog.scottpot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9090954006475363744.post-45156003437622026942007-07-13T10:25:00.000-07:002007-07-13T10:25:00.000-07:00OK...

I'd rather walk around with a few extra pounds than a load in my pants, thank you very much. There's more on the unfortunate side effects here. Oh, and the FDA managed to not tell us that Alli is linked to cancer (it's in the comments of the link). Yeah, nice oversight there.<BR/>http://www.unboundedition.com/content/view/1285/50/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
