Alli book offers weight-loss help
Today, one of my friends gave me a copy of "Are You Losing It?," the companion book for Alli, the first weight loss drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Coincidentally, I saw that the New York Times did an article today on how GlaxoSmithKline is taking a new tack in marketing the pills to consumers, encouraging dieters to use them while also warning that Alli is no magic bullet for weight loss.
The campaign is centered on an elaborate Web site, myalli.com, which offers information on how the drug works, a quiz on whether you're ready to lose weight and an online program.
The book features tips from experts on a wide range of diet issues including low metabolism, stress and staying motivated. There are also recipes, shopping help and more.
After a not so pleasant experiment (gas, stomach cramps) with Xenical, I'm not sure if I'll try Alli, but the book will come in handy.

I stopped taking diet pills because I was sick of them not working or making me feel jittery and weird. A few days later I started working for a Public Relations company and found everyone using FBCx and loving it. I looked it up at www.fbcx.com and found it’s an all-natural dietary fiber that is able to bind dietary fat. It’s all-natural, which is unlike many others I’ve tried, so I decided to give it a whirl. What a difference I’ve noticed, it’s letting me eat normal foods and loose weight. I don’t have time to exercise 3 times a week, so I don’t and I still loose weight. It sounded too good to be true, but it’s not, quite a few people in the office are losing weight as well, so I know it’s not a fluke. Go and check it out, you can thank me later!

Hi...
Don't get frustrated about not losing any more pounds this week. I've been there and it's sometimes like the stock market. One week it will go up, another it goes down, and sometimes it just stays the same. If you keep on the healthy food kick with a little exercise here and there, you will win in the long run.
