    If you excercise much on a low fat diet, meaning low protein, you will lose muscle mass in addition to any fat. Also, people on low calorie, low fat diets are always hungry, which is self defeating if you have more than 10-15 pounds to lose. So here comes a pill in which you have extra gas and uncontrollable excrement. What fun. Try Atkins or Southbeach instead. After 15-30 days, you no longer have hunger pangs. Plus the only thing you will do in excess is urinate, IF you drink all the water you are supposed to. (And your breath stinks.)

    the very best thing to do is to eat right & do some exercise..taking xenical or any diet pills are not advisable because it can cause side effects in the long run so what for?the important is safety. you can lose some weight if you have self-discipline..besides xenical just losing the fat of the food you're eating not the body fats already stored.

    There is really no weight loss secret: eat few calories and burn more of them. It is proper nutrition and exercise. No pills required. The problem with most people is that they eat too much and too many of the wrong choices and live sedentary lives. No mystery here.

    I am a firm believer in being healthy and fit, and I also believe that the best way to achieve being healthy and fit, is by doing it the natural way. Diet pills/drugs are for lazy people!!

    Any diet pills have the potential to be really dangerous. I have a heart murmur from side effects of "harmless" diet pills I bought at GNC. There's really no easy way to healthy living, no short-cuts. Eating right and being active is the best thing you can do for yourself. Take care.

    Why not just cut out the junk food and get off the couch. Save your money so that you can get out of debt. If you don't eat out as much you will save fat and money. Duh!
