I was curious if anybody else had tried Xenical? It's a fat trapper.
My doctor prescribed it to me. 20 days and $100.00 later I never even lost a pound!!! I was so disappointed (and broke) that I stopped taking it. (not to mention the yucky side effects!)Apparently it does work for some people, but it didn't work for me. That was a couple months before I started on low carb. Low carbing has taken off the weight quicker and easier than any other 'diet' that I have tried.
A few years back I tried the fen-phen...glad I only took it for a couple weeks! Scarey stuff. Some women actually died from taking those pills. I wish more people would realize that the only way to lose weight is to make a lifestyle change and stay with it. But, sadly people want a 'miracle' weight loss and are willing to try anything even it ends up hurting them.
Anyway, I was just curious what other people have tried in the past?
