There is a new product available over the counter now called "Alli"....it contains something called Orlistat...you take a pill with each meal and it prevents up to 40% of fat consumed being digested...instead, it passes through you and you lose it in the toilet.

It is really meant for "bigger" people, and was only available as prescription from your Dr until last week.

The pill really is a deterrent from eating too much fat...if you eat too much, you will need the loo fast! So, it helps you stick to healthier foods.

It doesn't effect your brain or heart, so no side effects...other than needing the loo fast if you eat too much fast and it needs to get rid of it for you.

The pills are 60mg, whereas from the Dr they are 120mg. And, they cost around £35 per pack from the chemist. If your BMI is above average, your Dr can prescribe them for free.

Many people have lost weight through them as they are safe and can re-direct you into cutting out un-needed fat. It will not get rid of any protein or carbs from your diet.
It is also recommended you excercise with them, and eat better.

I swim 3 or 4 times a week, and i find it makes me want to eat healthier after an hour of excercise.
