Sue et al, remember Xenacal? (sp?) I am not condoning the use of drugs but there is a new one here called 'alli' It works similarly to Xenacal.
It is FDA approved for across the counter sales and is marketed in a 'starter kit'. I am currently doing much online research. It is set up like Weight Watchers. You get daily journal, all kinds of food guides and portable keychain with calorie counts and hints. Not sure if its in NZ or OZ...or maybe its been there already. There is an online forum for support. You register as a member and join the support group. I have not yet decided whether to proceed or not. It comes with a pill carrier and strict instructions and you have to agree to abide by their guidelines.
An exercise regimen is included. Its a very well packaged product.
There are now whole aisles of Weight loss products in every store, warehouse etc.....its a multimillion dollar business. This new drug appears to be the anti fad dieting drug.
Sorry for the thread drift Sue....I remember that Sureslim thread and I am sure it is there.
