Cut it out!

My friend in London is an e-commerce guru. She finds so many things online and surprisingly, most items are from the U.S. One item on her list is Alli, a new over-the-counter diet aid pill and she's digging around for reviews. Seems like it prevents the absorption of fats from the diet, thus reducing caloric intake. The fact is, it's a half-dose of an existing diet pill by GlaxoSmithKline called Xenical, which is prescribed to the obese. This half-dose blocks about 25% of the usual fat-intake; good marketing! Side effects sound pretty minimal and Alli has its own site.

I'm not endorsing this product or anything, but do give comments on this if you've heard of it, or anything else that may have worked for you (besides excercise.) We all want to cut out the calories but still enjoy the dessert don't we?
