Any such posts will be moved out of here & in to their own thread. 
So if you want to rant about "Pills BAD" please save me the time and just start your own.

hydroxycut totally works for me if I want an extra boost to my workout

I think the real frustrating issue is that some products work for some people, but not all products work for all people - and some products don't work at all, or can even be harmful.

There's such a myriad of misinformation out there that it's hard to tell truth from bad opinion.

Me, I'm not even a model, but I'm a guy who could stand to lose 20 pounds or so. I'm 190 at 5'9" and really should be 170. If there were a pill that worked for me, as part of a diet and exercise, I'd probably try it. As it is, the few I tried just did a number on me and made me feel terrible. So clearly they're not for me.

But if they work for someone and don't cause harm, well, we're all adults and we make our own life decisions, right?

I just need to find time to take that 45 minute walk every day instead of working on the computer!

Have you had any troubles with it?  I know the Alli web site warns of "gas with oily spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that may be hard to control."  Some have referred to this as explosive diarrhea.

The Alli web site () recommends wearing dark pants and taking a change of clothes to work in case you uncontrollably poo your pants. That's probably useful advice.

I never had any problems with it, but I never ate a lot of fatty foods while taking it either. It's my understanding that those problems only occur when too much fat is included in your diet.

I only tried one type of diet pill and it didn't work.
I tried the Green Tea ones, it didn't do anything.  In fact I put on 4 pounds, even though I was on a strict diet and exercise routine
