    I took this a few years back (when I was trying EVERYTHING!). I didn't like it at all. It doesn't discriminate when it comes to fat and we all should realise at this stage that dietary fat is vitally important for our body. Stools turned orange, IIRC, when fat was ingested - not pleasant.

    I've tried pretty much everything there is to try and the only thing that actually worked (Acomplia) is no longer recommended (FDA banned). It did work but it caused me some very strange mental side effects!

    It took me many years to realise that there isn't a magic bullet for weight loss. Restricting/omitting simple sugar was the key for me. That, and avoiding anything that encouraged low-fat as it typically means high sugar.

    My GP put me on these several year back.

    I lost 9lbs in a month, but that's because I **** myself so often on them that for the second two weeks of that month, all I'd eat was a bowl of soup per day.

    They're nasty, nasty things
