A new Alli in fat fighting (The Record)

Just how good is a weight-loss pill if it takes a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise to make it work? About 50 percent better than no pill, says Dr. Gary Foster, director of the Center for Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in Philadelphia.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

The biggest problem with weightloss meds is that you have to keep taking them for the effects to continue. Once off them, you can't expect the results to continue. So, the biggest Q is, "Would you want to keep on taking them for the rest of your life?" and, "What are the long term effects if taken for 10 years, 20 years?"
