How to Lose Weight the Gross WayCómo perder peso de manera asquerosa
By: Keith
Alli. That’s how to lose weight the gross way. The stuff is sold at every pharmacy and grocery store in the country. If you haven’t seen it then you haven’t been paying attention. The stuff is nasty. It’s almost January which means it’s time for some resolutions. The most popular of all resolutions are the ones having to do with weight loss. I’m a near middle aged guy. I know a thing or two about trying to stay thin and healthy when my metabolism tells me to expand. Fortunately for me I haven’t ever been tempted by a product like Alli for weight loss. Being somewhat awkward by nature the last things I need are the side effects that come associated with Alli. I prefer to lose weight the old fashioned way. No stomach stapling, meditation or weird pep talks – just exercise and good food. But, there will always be people who, for whatever reason, think they’re going to be the ones who accomplish life changing results the easy way. Of course there’s no such thing as easy when it comes to weight loss and exercise. Need proof of Alli’s grossness? You asked for it.
Side effects can include:
Gas with an oily anal discharge
Loose Stools or diarrhea
More frequent bowel movements
Hard to control bowel movements
Yes, there’s a theme there. My observation is that Alli is being sold all over the country at major stores. That means it must be pretty popular. That begs my question; do people read the packaging? What would possess someone to buy a product that essentially says you’re either going to be rushing to the bathroom all the time or you’ll just poop your pants without warning? The worst part about all of this is that all the tests done on the prescription strength version of the drug, orlistat (the active ingredient in Alli), say that the achievable weight loss over the course of a year is only 6 lbs of fat for obese people (according to the Mayo Clinic website). Alli only contains half the amount of orlistat as other, prescription strength, drugs. For 3 or 4 lbs of weight loss people are apparently willing to endure the above mentioned, and really gross, side effects. That is shocking to me. I’ve known that people throw their money away on gimmicks all along. Apparently though this is not a gimmick. You actually can lose weight with it. Just not very much and at a terrible cost. I’d frankly rather take my chances with gastric bypass than Alli.
I’m not suggesting losing weight is easy. I sympathize with people who have difficulty with their weight. Some people have a very hard time with it. Nevertheless, there are no short cuts. There are only lifestyle changes, and habits are never easy to break. Techniques that work, but which still require willpower, include drinking low or no calorie drinks, eliminating junk food, exercising, knowing how to practice moderation, how to shop and how to read nutrition labels. As parents we cannot afford to be out of shape and slow. We have to keep up with the kids. Resorting to Alli will not only not help you lose sufficient weight; it could cause a whole lot of snickering behind your back.
Alli. Así es cómo se hace. Este producto es vendido en cada farmacia y supermercado en el país. Si tú no lo has visto entonces no has estado poniendo atención. Este producto es asqueroso. Es casi Enero lo que significa que es tiempo de tomar resoluciones. La resolución más popular de todas las resoluciones tiene que ver con perder peso. Yo soy un tipo casi de edad media. Sé una o dos cosas acerca de cómo tratar de mantenerme delgado y saludable cuando mi metabolismo me dice expande. Afortunadamente para mí yo no he sido tentado con un producto como Alli para perder peso. Siendo un poco raro por naturaleza, lo último que necesito es los efectos secundarios asociados con Alli. Yo prefiero perder peso a la antigua. No con grapas en mi estómago, meditación o pláticas raras – solamente con ejercicio y una buena alimentación. Pero, siempre va a haber personas quienes, por cualquier razón, piensan que van a ser las que obtengan resultados y cambios en sus vidas de manera sencilla. Por supuesto no existe una manera sencilla cuando se trata de hacer ejercicio y perder peso. ¿Necesitas prueba de lo asqueroso que es Alli? Tú lo pediste.
Gas con descargas anales de aceite
Defecación suelta o diarrea
Defecaciones más frecuentes
Difícil de controlar el acto de defecar
Sí, puedes ver un tema a seguir aquí. Mi observación es que Alli es vendido en todas partes del país en las tiendas más populares. Esto significa que el producto debe ser muy popular. Lo que me brinda mi pregunta: ¿qué las personas no leen el paquete? ¿Qué posee a una persona para querer comprar un producto que esencialmente te dice que ya sea vas a salir corriendo al baño a cada rato o que simplemente te vas a cagar los pantalones sin poder controlarlo y sin siquiera saberlo? La peor parte de todo es que todos los exámenes hechos en la versión prescrita de la droga, orlistat (el ingrediente activo de Alli), dicen que el total d epeso perdido sobre el curso de un año es solamente 6 libras de grasa en personas obesas (de acuerdo con la página de Internet de la Clínica Mayo). Alli solamente contienen la mitad de la cantidad de orlistat que otras, medicinas recetadas médicamente, contienen. Por solamente 3 o 4 libras de peso perdido las personas están dispuestas a soportar todos los, demasiado asquerosos, efectos secundarios mencionados anteriormente. Eso es sorprendente para mí. Yo he conocido a personas que gastan su dinero en trucos todo el tiempo. Aparentemente no hay truco aquí. Tú verdaderamente puedes perder peso con el producto. Pero simplemente no es mucho peso y es a un costo terrible. Francamente yo preferiría tomar mis riesgos con un bypass gástrico que con Alli.
Yo no estoy sugiriendo que el perder peso sea fácil. Simpatizo con las personas que tienen dificultades tratando de perder peso. Para algunas personas es algo muy difícil. Aún así, no existen atajos. Solamente hay cambios de vida, y los hábitos no son fáciles de romper. Técnicas que funcionan, pero que requieren fuerza de voluntad, incluyendo tomar bebidas con muy pocas o sin calorías, eliminando la comida chatarra, haciendo ejercicio, sabiendo como practicar moderación, cómo comprar y sabiendo como leer las etiquetas nutricionales. Como padres nosotros no podemos permitirnos el estar en mala condición física y ser lentos. Tenemos que ser capaces de mantener el paso de nuestros hijos. El tener que depender en Alli no solo no te va a ayudar a perder el peso suficiente; también te va a causar un montón de otros problemas bajo tu espalda.
Yeah. My mom tried the Alli pill. “Gas with an oily anal discharge”
She said the toilet had an oil slick in it.. HAHAHAHAHA
I know it’s nasty but it really does do that to people. I’ve researched it. I’m pretty sure it blocks the fat receptors (something similar to that) and it causes the fat to pass thru you and out the exit….
Kody, oh man! Your mom would kill you if she knew you told on her! HAHAHAHAHA
EEEEWWWW!!!!! Yeah, I’m guessing all those people who say they just don’t have time to workout probably don’t have time to sit on the crapper all day either.
Laura, LOL! That’s a pretty good observation. These people are trading productive time for crapping time! HAHAH
Kody, that is nasty! And I was about to have some dinner! Was thinking mashed potatoes and gravy, but now– maybe not….
hmm… I’ll stick with my doughy physic over oily anal discharge!

Chris, exactly what I was thinking. Even if I were overweight (I’m not, but if I were) I’d rather just be a little pudgy than resort to this junk!
How vile! Im not sure if this one has made it across the pond yet but Im sure it wont be long. By coincidence, I’ve just been writing a post on my ‘other’ blog about the long term side effects caused through the overuse of laxatives by people with eating disorders like anorexia and bullimia…

That is DISGUSTING!!!!! But I can totally see that people, in desperations would do it. Probably avoiding reading that…
I’m sure Kody is correct in that it’s the extra fat passing through your system, but for only 3- 6 pounds extra? No thanks. I’d rather keep the pudge.
Mitzi. It always astounds me the things that people do out of desperation. I’m with you, I’d rather keep my little pudge.
ROFLMAO!!!!! This was spot on….I wondered as much too…ICKY!
Happy New Year my friend…to you and yours!

Eew. That IS gross.
I’m with you about the old-fashioned way to get in shape. Exercise and eating healthful foods is the way to go.
P.S. Your comic at the top made me laugh.

Oily anal discharge? Seriously – can you imagine what that feels like?
I had a friend who tried Alli for about a week. She didn’t get any “discharge”, thankfully, but did find that it made her go to the bathroom too often. She stopped taking it because the bathroom breaks were too inconvenient for her.

Chad: Yeah, I’m all for weight loss. But, oily anal discharge just isn’t worth it.
It doesn’t matter how much weight you have to lose, or how stubborn those pounds are. You can indeed lose weight if you have a simple plan to follow that will help you. God Bless
