New Diet Pill You Can't Buy This Publicity

Fire this stupid professor.
"'We have an obesity epidemic with people screaming for a solution,' stated Bill Trombettta, Ph.D., professor of pharmaceutical marketing at Saint Joseph's University. 'Alli is on everyone's lips because it's the only new diet drug available to address this unmet need.'"
Stop "screaming." There is no "unmet need."

The "solution" is and always has been and always will be fewer Calories in than out. Alli or not.
"Alli, which is available at drug and vitamin stores nationwide, works by decreasing the amount of fat absorbed by the body. The drug's manufacturers recommend following a low-fat diet while using the pill."
That's more stupidity.

If Alli "works by decreasing the amount of fat absorbed by the body," then "following a low-fat diet while using the pill" will make it LESS effective since fewer Calories will be blocked given the same total number of Calories consumed.

In other words, you will either lose less weight or gain weight.

The advice, the pill and the approach are all wrong.

These people don't know crap - except the stuff in your clothes after you take Alli.

Save you life and money, Alli is not your ally.

Avoid it.
