A new study is suggesting that the diet drug Orlistat, more popularly known under its prescription name Xenical, doesn’t help people improve their eating habits. But it’s even being suggested that it has the opposite effect.
When Xenical works, it blocks the absorption of fat in the intestines. Users are advised to reduce their dietary fat intake, consuming no more than 30 percent of their calories from fat each day.
This is what The Diet Blog has to say:
A new study suggests the popular diet drug Orlistat… doesn’t inspire people to improve their diets, instead individuals popping Xenical are more likely to eat worse. How’s that for irony.
Forty-four obese adults were studied. The average daily calories from fat among Xenical users was 33 percent (not the suggested 30 percent), and for the placebo group it was 28 percent. Participants were tracked over three years.
Now, I’m not one to favor weight loss supplements, so I’m not a big pharma apologist. But I don’t see from what’s shown here how it can be deduced that Xenical makes people eat worse than they would otherwise. If it’s the meager percentage difference in the study, 44 people is hardly convincing. Plus, it doesn’t prove that the users would have more or less fat intake without the drug. Only that they aren’t following instructions.
Am I missing something?

I’ve been a vegetarian for a while, but I have just made the switch to vegan. I’m doing it for all the health benefits, but I was just curious to see who has lost weight and what other benefits did they get after becoming vegan. Please share any information about making the switch, if you lost weight, how fast you lost it, what you ate, etc.
Thanks!
Hi! I’m currently in the process of losing a lot of weight. I am looking for somewhere where I can donate my old clothes that are now too large to people who are also losing weight. I’m also looking for somewhere where I could get donations of clothes for myself since buying new clothes with every 10 lbs lost gets really, really expensive. Any suggestions?

I always suspected this was a scam site, then tonight while I was on, I noticed one of the “Local” women was a teen model from about eight years ago, named Tiffany. Funny she hadn’t aged a bit in those eight years, and she moved from the Seattle area to the Midwest. What a rip off this site would be if I actually gave them money… Which I am glad to say now that I haven’t.
