Weight loss in a Pill! Diet wonders or one night wonders?

Stop the presses! A new diet pill is here!! You read the article and see for yourself! Ok, I am actually faking my enthusiasm but what is real is my skepticism. How could I not be skeptical? Just read the actual results from this "Fat-fighting" drug:
Side effects could also be an issue. While patients on Acomplia have lost around 7 kg (15 lb) in body weight over two years, concerns remain about its potential impact on mood."
I can assure you of this, if I spent TWO years taking ANY diet pill or doing ANY "diet" and all that I lost was 15 pounds; you bet I would be moody--pissed off would better describe what one could expect my mood to be like!

How about yours? 24 months at even ONE pound a month would be be 24 pounds lost over the TWO years, but safe and EFFECTIVE weight loss should be at a rate of more like 1-2 pounds a WEEK, so over the TWO years that said moody patient was shelling out money for Sanofi-Aventis SA’s Acomplia, they could have lost 104 pounds if they lost 1 pound a week doing it the old fashioned and apparently out of favor way of 'eating healthfully and getting exercise'!
I lost 130 pounds in 15 months, that is 8 pounds a month, 2 pounds a week. I didn't take Acomplia, Phen-Fen, Trim Spa, Body Solutions or any other prescription or over the counter miracle weight loss drug.

I took water. I took exercise. I didn't take Ice-cream, pasta, soft drinks or fast food.
Gosh? Do you want to wait for the FDA to approve Acomplia so you can jump on the 7.5 pound a year weight loss miracle or, would you actually like to take control rather than take a pill and get busy changing your life?

Get back to me when you have your answer.
