You have to laugh at the media, nowadays, especially in good ol’ Blighty. The tabloids are the best worst joke I have ever seen for journalism. Not content for churning celebrity bile onto their front pages, they then have hot/cold treatment with many a rising star, placing them on a pedestal one day then burning them at the stake the next. Heaven knows what they’ll do to that poor women ‘Susan Boyle’ from ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ fame. You only hope they treat her with just a touch of dignity once they move onto their next ‘victim’, sorry story.

Which brings me nicely onto my subject matter. Back in January of this year, news trickled out about how the ‘Alli Weight Loss Pill‘ was giving the go-ahead as the first over-the-counter weight loss tablet in the UK.

Now, as of yesterday, the Alli Pill was once again in the media headlines as its release date nears. Stories of how people were caught unexpected, after taking the pill, as their bodies flushed out the excess fat at a moments notice are never nice to hear. But that is the truth of the matter! The product tells you this! Don’t people read anymore! Why all the hullabaloo? But yet the media love this …

Look, let’s get one thing clear. The Alli weight Loss Pill is no magic bullet. Taking it alone won’t help you lose weight. And yes, people might become victims of its side-effects, just the same as people who eat a certain food and it doesn’t agree with them.

You can’t just buy into headlines without reading the article. If you sit-down and actually read the instructions that come with Alli you’ll notice that it is not just a ‘magic’ weight loss pill but an actual program to help you lose weight. However, you can be assured that the makers of Alli are none-too-concerned about all the media coverage and I’ll bet they’ll be a few more people caught short on the bus home by the end of the week and still it’ll sell!
