Counterfeit Alli being sold via eBay

Drew — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 19:01:35 +0000

Warning, GlaxoSmithKline and the FDA are reporting that counterfeit Alli is being sold via eBay and other online sources. Apparently the counterfeit drugs contain a controlled substance known as Sibutramine. There are several easy ways to tell if the Alli you have purchased is counterfeit:

Outer cardboard packaging missing a “Lot” code;

Expiration date that includes the month, day, and year (e.g., 06162010); authentic Alli expiration date includes only the month and year (e.g.,: 05/12);

Packaging in a plastic bottle that has a slightly taller and wider cap with coarser ribbing than the genuine product;

Plain foil inner safety seal under the plastic cap without any printed words; the authentic product seal is printed with “SEALED for YOUR PROTECTION”;

Contains larger capsules with a white powder, instead of small white pellets.

If you believe you have been sold counterfeit Alli please contact the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations (OCI) by calling 800-551-3989 or by visiting the OCI Web site (http://www.fda.gov/OCI).

I hope nobody bought counterfeit Alli.

Creators of Alli making documentary about eating

Drew — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:28:16 +0000

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) the makers of weight loss drug Alli are working on a documentary about the unhealthy relationship people sometime have with food. In an article published on CNBC.COM the parties involved assure CNBC that it will not be a marketing ploy, and that the film will be a real documentary in the vein of “An Inconvienient Truth”. Personally, I hope they consult with Dr. David Kessler when making the movie because his book “The End of Overeating” (which I am currently reading) has tremendous insight into why people do what they do.

I will be following this story closely.

Alli Tip: Don’t forget to take your vitamins!

Drew — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 15:31:47 +0000

As the bottle indicates in highlighted print, anyone who is taking Alli should take a multi-vitamin. The reason is simple, many vitamins in food are delivered via fat. Because Alli prevents your body from digesting some of the fat you eat, you miss out on the vitamins and their associated benefits. I recently did some research to find the “best multi-vitamin” and I wanted to share the results for you.

Experts say that the $40 bottle of vitamins offer no greater benefits over the $10 bottle of vitamins and the highest rated vitamins I could find were (surprise) One-a-day multi-vitamins.

A 250 count bottle of One-A-Day Men’s Multivitamin is around $20 so that is around eight cents a day. The One-a-day women’s multivitamin is the same price.

So for eight cents a day you can have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your body is getting all it needs.

Alli ‘More forgiving’ than most think

Drew — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:31:18 +0000

I have been taking All/Xenical for over three years, in that time I have learned the ins and outs of the drug. I’ve gone through my ‘heavy compliance’ phases, my ‘eat a whole bunch and then let the drug handle it phases (not recommended)’ and many more. One thing I think about Alli that I don’t think people understand is how much you can eat before you “set it off”.

Recently, I began following the “big breakfast diet” because it just makes sense to me. The diet consists of eating a big breakfast rich in protein and then (hopefully) that breakfast will keep you full until Lunch to prevent snacking. It is a ‘eat three times a day diet’ and it seems to be working pretty well for me so far. Although the breakfast I eat I don’t exactly consider “healthy” it is full of protein and everything my body needs to provide me with Energy.

The Breakfast Sandwich consists of:

Two eggs
1 strip of pre-cooked bacon
A slice of colby jack cheese
and two pieces of toast

Then I usually add a glass of juice or whatever to it. Even with that amount of fat (from the eggs, bacon, and cheese), Alli still doesn’t make me have ‘leakage’ related side effects, and believe me I know what that’s all about. When I was in a less healthy mental state I used to eat candy and then take a Xenical, pure horror would ensue.

The point I am trying to make here is that you have to work pretty hard (or at least I do) to get the ‘revenge of Alli’ and that the benefits surely outweigh the negatives.

Don’t forget, Alli is currently on sale at Amazon.com all through the month of January.

Jezebel.com: Let’s Not Shit Ourselves.

Drew — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:07:48 +0000

The fine folks over at the fashion, sex, and celebrity blog Jezebel.com have assigned one of their contributors the task of trying out Alli to see if it is as bad as they think it will be.

The story is pretty amusing, even if it is mostly based on assumptions of an exploding ass

You can check out their article here.

Newsweek article only focuses on the negatives of Alli.

Drew — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 15:07:37 +0000

In the article titled “New Diet Drug: Accidents May Happen” in the June 25th, 2007 issue of Newsweek and also available online here. The focus of the article seems to be directed at scaring people away from trying Alli or Xenical. The author makes several references to the gastrointestinal side effects of Alli without making too much mention that GlaxoSmithKline has gone out of their way to not present the drug as a “magic bullet for weight loss”. We all know that Alli can have nasty side effects If you eat meals high in fat. However if you do not eat meals high in fat, the chances of the side effects are greatly reduced to almost nil. Hopefully someone in the media will try the drug themselves and write an informed report about the experience and stop trying to shine negative light on a product which could help millions of people.

One of the best things about Alli/Xenical is that it teaches us HOW TO EAT. If there were no adverse side effects when you scarf down that entire pizza, than what would be the point? You would just keep eating the entire pizza and assuming that the Alli was going to “fix it”. It is just like any other drug. Cholesterol drugs for example have to be taken in conjunction with a complete lifestyle change. If you take a cholesterol blocking drug yet continue to eat meals which are terribly bad for your heart the cholesterol drugs are not going to prevent heart disease.

The media seems to be focused on the wrong side of the picture here.

Heres hoping someone actually writes an informed article about Alli.
