I took it and didn't experience any of the horrifying side effects, but it did incite lots of funny stories from people who have tried it. I did get stomach cramps though. And I didn't lose any weight.
A very long and disgusting article, saying the same thing all the way through ... the writer needed only one sentence to say it! Side effect of this writers article: a wasted read! (pun intended)
kelly, I have taken it in the past, most of the time you are 100% perfect as long as you are staying on plan..I absolutely love the Alli diet book (the great big one) that is in Dollar Tree stores right now....as a precaution, you may want to wear a long super thin maxi for a few days...this product absolutely DOES work, no question as long as you are doing your part (staying true to your calorie intake and moving more)...Yes, I know the skeptics will say that changing your lifestyle will work unto itself without the pill and yes, it's true...BUT Alli, will give you an edge and make your weightloss a little quicker..to see my scale go down was motivating for me....I wouldn't hesitate to use the product again and feel it is safe
I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). My symptoms often are what was once described as "spastic colon," and although I never have taken Alli, I can relate to many of the Alli "treatment effects" and the need to always know where the closest restroom is. (If this is my "normal," you can understand why I never considered taking Alli or the stronger prescription Xenical).
Funny and painfully embarassing are often one and the same. Comedy is almost universally centered around someone else's pain, shame, or embarassment. Is stupidity or mental deficiency really funny (whether you're blonde or not)? Why yes, it is - because laughter takes the place of the alternative. You laugh in public, you cry in private. Or sometimes you laugh until you cry or cry until you laugh.
I could tell you bathroom stories that would curl your hair. When I was working in corporate cubicle land, I sat next to a guy who was charismatic, charming, and very funny - and he collected potty stories - and not just any potty stories, potty stories from corporate cubicle land. You would expect that the restrooms in a Fortune 500 company's corporate headquarters to be clean, quiet, reserved places that have little or no activity worthy of bathroom humor, but you'd be wrong.
The cleanest, least graphic story (one I actually contributed to his collection) was a coworker deciding that carrying on a cell-phone conversation was appropriate in the stall next to mine, while I had a terrible stomach ache and was afraid I might make embarassing noises. I sat there trying not to go to the bathroom, in the place that one is supposed to go to the bathroom, because someone decided to do something that definitely didn't belong in the bathroom (at least not in the stalls, for goodness sake).
The men's room bathroom jokes were much scarier (and much funnier), and reinforce my belief that men's restrooms are no place for civilized human beings.
I often gross out at "potty humor", but oh my - this had me laughing out loud! I didn't find it offensive at all.
"Shart" is a great word! My sister and I heard it in "Along Came Polly" and have used it ever since.
Mezmerize, that's a really good prevention tactic!
In short, it boils down to the same thing that we all know -- you STILL have to make lifestyle changes (consume fewer calories/fat) in order for the pill to work, in order for gastric bypass to work, in order to lose weight.
Thank you for sharing!
Kaplods - your story was great, too! ha ha ha. People should know when and when not to use the cell. Sheesh!
Hilarious!
