the bullshit weight-loss industry

I am an American woman who has always struggled with my weight, as has my sister, and our mother. But because I have a BRAIN, I don’t run to every weight-loss “miracle” that comes along… thus probably saving my life a time or two.

My sister, though, has tried several “miracle” drugs and other weight-loss plans with varying success, although she scares the hell out of me when she lets me know (usually weeks after she’s started) that she’s taking them or experiencing problems WITH them.

My sister is 13 yrs younger than me, has had 2 children and is only moderately out of her weight “limit” as set forth by the AMA.

With that being said, I can say with some authority that my sister would probably be goofy enough to try the newest FAD weight loss miracle drug – alli – because it’s FDA-approved and promises. The website touts
