Re: Nutrition Questions and Dietary Fads
What about the latest diet fad, the first FDA approved diet pill, Alli?

What it is: Over-the-counter version of the drug orlistat, which blocks fat absorption in the intestines.
What it does: Helps users lose weight by cutting the calories absorbed from fat.
Side effects: Excessive fat passing through the digestive tract can lead to diarrhea, oily stools, upset stomach and flatulence.
Any overweight Loungers considering trying this?
