It makes me so angry when I see on TV that they advertize pills which will help you to lose weight!
This time it was Lipozine.. or something loke that! It won't teach you to eat right, to be active. Just another dose of poison in our body!

Just needed to vent! Sorry.

    Agreed, all very bad stuff and bad for you!!! I work in the pharma industry... These supplements/pills are not regulated as they are classified as supplements. Therefore no clinical testing, no FDA approvals, no nothing. Just list your ingredients say it is a supplement and sell to the public at GNC or on TV. Some of these herbal things are also very dangerous and have really bad interactions with medications or even cause complications to people with people who have high blood pressure or other obesity relate issues. Really bad stuff...

    Yes I stay away form those things, they are quick fixes and only do harm to your body. The best way to lose is to work it off naturally with eating better and exercise. Thats what all the doctors and educators tell us all the time...they get no credit. Its ok to vent, this is what this is for. :flowerforyou:

    What gets me sometimes is the commercials for some perscription drugs,when they read the side effects they are worse than whatever the mediciane was for in the first place.

    I ignore them, but there are so many people who do not know about MFP or do not have support or help, they are desperate. They see this "magic" pill on TV with the sign "over 10 mln sold" and they do it and ruin the rest of their health! :mad:

    I remember laughing at one pill for toe fungus that caused liver failure. I said to my husband "what fool would use that!" ..the next week his friend mentioned he was taking it. /sigh

    It bothers me, but not that much any more. Used to be MY eyes lit up when I saw I could be skinny in 3 weeks. It took MFP to open those eyes and get me on a healthier road.

    What bothers me most is the disclaimers go so fast you can't hear it. Knowing all of this........I still look at the Alli bottle each time I go to the druggist. :laugh:

    This is hard work but OH so worth it!
