FDA approves first nonprescription sale of diet pill

[ostrich]

The full article is here.

Has anybody tried the Rx version before? Did it work? Does anybody know if it's GF? The side effects sound rather icky, but if you don't eat as many fatty foods they're not as bad.

They sound really scary to me. Malabsorbed fat in the gut is a recipe for discomfort. Diet pills of any kind seem like a bad idea to me. My aunt used to take fen/phen and she ended up with a heart attack because of it.

C'mon Ostrich. We could be walking partners. Washington and Nebraska are not too far away from each other. We could meet somethere in the middle.

How about I just walk up to Washington and meet you there? *wants to move out of this backwater state*

Well, I'm rather out of ideas for getting this fat off. I stick with the GF diet and eat as healthy as I can. I try to exercise, even though it hasn't gotten above freezing in awhile. Nothing's helping. So I was just wondering if anybody's tried this stuff before.

Edited to add: Just found this today: 10 Foods that are Health Horrors. I thought there were no bad calories?

Sorry - no offense intended.
I was referring mostly to the nasty numbers: cals, carbs, fats...

[ostrich]

S'ok, no offense taken. I agree, the numbers are nasty. But the calories taste soooo gooood....
