Alli-oops!
June 14th, 2007 by Brian Ries in Diet, HealthThe nation’s first, FDA-approved over-the-counter diet drug — Alli – went on sale this week. Simply put, the pill blocks some of the fat we consume from being digested and can — according to your helpful friends at GlaxoSmithKline — increase weight loss by up to 50%.
I’ll be honest, the pill is tempting, but not for the straightforward reasons you’d think. One consequence of the pill is that a meal with a lot of fat can produce explosive, uncontrollable bowel movements of questionable consistency.
Yikes. That’s an incentive to eat right.

Actually, isn’t this just the F.D.A. approved version of taking laxatives after a big meal? The ad copy should read: “Live like a runway model.”
