Have you heard of the new alli weight-loss pill (Note the hip lowercase name)?
The pill blocks your body from absorbing fats, which means that you have less calories entering your body. It sounds like a pretty cool idea, except for the fact that you end up pooping and farting oil and fat/lipid (see? Biology class is useful for something!). And if that’s not enough incentive to use it, you also cannot control your frequent onslaughts of gas/defecation. You’re killing two birds with one stone! [/sarcasm]
Maybe it’s just me, but that sounds utterly disgusting. I stick to the traditional exercise mere and eat healthier methods. Why? Because I’ve had diarrhea before and it was not a particularly enjoyable experience. And I’ve never pooped out “something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza”, nor would I like to experience it.
And the saddest part? It’s flying off the shelves.
