What are the side effects of the obesity drug Alli?

In a world gone mad, one man stands alone: Jimmy Moore wants YOU to know the truth about Alli–the new FDA-approved first over-the-counter weight loss pill that is like an overly-needy girlfriend who serves you ex-lax brownies.

Welcome to “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore!” In Episode 61 today, our host Jimmy explores why you just might not need a new drug that is already proven unsafe for people with any of a number of health conditions, demands you enter into a committed relationship for life to keep the weight off, is very expensive, and will virtually guarantee you’ll turn your tighty-whities into a rich shade of burnt umber.

What’s this drug in question? Alli, the OTC version of the prescription drug Xenical, aka orlistat. Be afraid, be very afraid. Remember, you don’t need to run out and buy a diamond ring and you don’t need to blame the dog for the effects of Alli–all you really need to do is keep on Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb!
