George Tyndale : weight loss drug alli won't beat a Big Mac
Huge excitement has been caused by the weight-loss drug alli going on sale for the first time.
Why is that?
You need to have reached a body mass index of 28 before a chemist will allow you to buy it.
How many of those who have gorged themselves to that size are going to have the self-respect and self-control required to put themselves on the low calorie, low-fat diet which is the absolutely essential prerequisite to avoid the extremely unpleasant side effects of taking the drug?
And why would they suddenly rush out and actually pay for pills when they are already available on prescription in much stronger versions?
In any case three alli pills a day cost ã16 a week.
Just think how many Big Macs with extra fries you can get for that.
