I read a lot about it. I don't think it would do much good on this diet though as it's such a low fat diet. But what do I know? :-)
So is anyone going to try it?
Speaking of this - there was a supplement tab on the news today - you eat it and for 30 min. afterwards you cannot taste anything sweet. They said it does work - they showed 2 women at a ice cream shop - gave each one a tablet and 30 seconds later had them try their ice cream - NO taste !
How weird. I need something to block out salty though, that is my true nemesis.
So, what is the perk of the reduced dose of xenical? I tried xenical a few years ago. As long as I did not eat fat, I was fine. If I did, my tummy hurt so much it was horrible. Also, TMI, I know, but those commercial disclaimers about explosive diareahh (sp?) and gas with oily discharge are all very true.

I know what you mean I tried it many moons ago and it was GROSS!!! I lasted a couple weeks on that and quit. I had enough of the oily discharge and that.
I think on this plan it would be a waste of money , we basiclly eay right.
WOW. I am so glad someone said something. I was curious about it and picked up a pamphlet at the grocery store. I'd rather take the weight loss at my pace than have explosive diarhea and oily dischrage... that's God-awful!

Oh man.. Imagine the fun I could have, crushing up some of the pills and slipping them into people's coffee cups around here at the office!!!
I tried it via Rx from my MD....
No thanks! I couldn't deal with the "leaks" ...ruined many a pair of underwear/pants.
Even while watching my fat intake.

dan! that's exactly what i was thinking! there's a few people that i work with that i'd love to do that to! and since i work at starbucks, it'd be easy to slip it into another co-worker's drink. ha. hmmmm...maybe, that'll be something to keep in the back of my mind if this certain *beep* doesn't stop being so childish and immature! hehehe.
"The addition of alli to a 1200 calorie/25% fat calorie menu may result in an additional net loss in caloric absorption of only 75 calories per day, or 0.15 pounds weight loss per week . "
I don't know what the fat calorie percentage is for LAWL, but if it's anywhere near this, it doesn't seem that it may do much good. Disclaimer: I did not notice a source for this particular piece of info.
