I don’t know if you have seen it or not but Wynonna Judd’s commercial where she pitching the dumbed down version of Xenical, you know the diet drug that has a ‘good safety record’ and only causes "stools that may be hard to control."
Yeah that winner.
Seriously it makes me want to puke
Especially the part where she goes on about how she wouldn’t recommend any thing that wasn’t approved by the FDA are you freaking kidding me.
Check out this study below about the some past history of the brilliant FDA and diet drugs.
“Last September the FDA took the diet drugs fenfluramine and dexfenluramine off the market because of heart valve damage to 31% of those who took the drugs in combination with another diet pill, phentermine (a combination known as fen/- phen) Fenfluramine could also damage heart valves when taken alone. By the time fenfluramine was banned, it had been on the market for 24 years.” [ http://www.dendrites.com/articles/drugprob.htm ]
Come on Wynonna you and Queen Latifa for that matter; sure you are both pitching living a healthful lifestyle great in concept not so great when you don’t do a damn thing about it.
I get all the unfair pressure women have to ‘look a certain way’ and think that it is bullshit too.
Yeah that winner.

But if you are not going to get into aesthetic shape by losing some body fat, at least give us something more then a stroll with your family or a plod on the treadmill.
Is that really inspiring to anyone?
How about tell us about:
Ø how great you joints feel
Ø that you can run a 5K
Ø you can lift some weights
Ø climb a mountain
Ø swim
Ø ride a bike
Ø or even that you have lowered your cholesterol by ‘8 points’ even Quaker oats give us some proof.
Give us something to believe that you aren’t just lining your bank accounts with some fat cash.
“I’ve considered every diet under the sun, but so many of them wanted me to be something I’m not and do things I knew were not healthy for me. Then I discovered alli. With the alli® program, I’m learning how to make and maintain healthier lifestyle choices. It keeps me honest with myself and allows me to set realistic goals.”
Instead we get some crap about realistic goals, more like no goals, way to set the bar low.
It’s terribly unfortunate that you have swung the pendulum to the far other side of the spectrum the side opposite of Lindsey Lohan, Kelly Ripa, and all the rest of the twig like stars.
The real true of ‘realistic’ is in the middle, healthy, active, fit, and strong and which none of the above are.
That which is so terribly unfortunate because so many women see and aspire to become either
side of that pendulum when they could b something much better, yet there is no one there from
a big market angle to show them the way, and that just plain sucks.
Nope instead we get ‘coked out’ bingers and fatties who lines their pockets with cash; and not a damn person leading from the front.
Oh yeah one last thing for the drug companies that twisted their ‘shit your self’ prescription diet drug into an over the counter version so they could sell more.
Yeah you greedy pricks are all about money too.
Checkout a few stats from a compilation of multiple studies, then tell me how ‘right’ the FDA is.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in 1998, a report finds that prescription drugs kill about 106,000 Americans each year – that’s three times as many as are killed by automobiles—making prescription drug death the fourth leading killer after heart disease, cancer and stroke. [http://www.injuryboard.com/national-news/prescription-drug-deaths-soar.aspx?googleid=29488 ]
The sale of prescription drugs has more than doubled in the U.S. during the past 8 years. In 1990, Americans spent $37.7 billion on prescriptions; in 1997, national spending on prescriptions reached 78.9 billion.[3] Prescription drugs are the fastest-growing portion of health-care costs, having risen at the rate of 17% per year for the past few years.[3]

I don’t have a problem with people making some money in the weight loss industry but at least
do something that is actually healthful and helpful to the end user.
Beyond that can we get a spokesperson that can lead from the front.
Ductus Exemplo!

I'm with you, Troy. I'm annoyed with Wynonna's use of alli and especially her hawking it on TV.
It keeps her honest? So, she's saying doesn't eat too much fat because she'll end up crapping herself. Great.
Does she intend on being on alli forever? If not, how is what she's doing a lifestyle change?
I like Wynonna and I realize that she's really struggled with her weight. I can sympathize but she crossed the line with me when she started encouraging people to follow her bad example rather than addressing the real problems.
