Fat pills give modest weight loss

Well what did you expect?
"Fat pills like orlistat reduced weight by less than 5kg (11 pounds) or 5% of total body weight - which guidelines say makes their use unjustified."
Thousand spent. Only money lost.

Welcome to the world of fat medicine malpractice. (see here generally)
"They reviewed the evidence from thirty placebo-controlled trials, involving nearly 20,000 people, where adults took one of three anti-obesity drugs - orlistat, sibutramine or rimonabant - for a year or longer...

But adverse effects were recorded with all three drugs and there were high drop-out rates, with 30%-40% of patients failing to complete the trials."
Don't say I did not warn you. (here and here)
