So a new weight loss drug of the conventiently accessable over the counter variety has hit the market. This affordable at $60/month (sarcasm) little doozy simply keeps your body from absorbing 25% of the fat you consume (keep in mind it does nothing about calories from carbs and protiens, so you are on your own there).
Now that fat has to go somewhere. The Salon Broadsheet entry on it has some of the more interesting side effects of forcing the body to expel fats, something it is clearly not happy about doing. There is the gas with "oily spotting", loose stools, hard to control stools, and a nice little film in the toilet that looks like the excess oil on pizza. It can be so bad, that the website says:
"Until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it's probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work."
The way to prevent such erm... outbursts? Limit your fat intake to 15 grams per meal. Thats right... the best way to lose weight is to eat a low fat meal. I dont think I even need to qualify that one.
Now clearly, women must be smart enough to know that this drug is stupid. It seems beyond me that the pain and inconvenience of working out on a regular basis and eating well is more annoying than paying so much to have to constantly have a change of clothes around. And I can't imagine that fat feels good going through your system. I mean most people won't even put extra cooking oil down the sink because of the clogging potential. Think about it.
This whole thing is another frustrating illustration that shows how women are willing to deal with insane levels of pain and discomfort to look good, but many are either not willing to shell out the effort, or are already in nice healthy condition and are aiming for ano standards.
As an addendum, I am not thin. I'm actually pretty cool with that. I have never had problems finding people who thought I was attractive. I can't imagine I would be able to say the same if my clothes were covered in shit stains.
I apologize for the vulgarity.
