•    Always go with milk that has less fat in it! Always go for low-fat or skim (fat-free milk). You can also try milk alternatives – rice, soy, and almond milk which contains heart-healthy fats. Whole milk is an unnecessary source of fat and too much can lead to being overweight and high cholesterol problems in the future such as heart disease. This is especially important if you are taking a diet pill like Xenical Generic which requires you to cut your daily dietary fat intake.

•    If you have infants and toddlers in your household, go with 2% milk and not whole milk – they don’t need whole milk to grow healthy and strong and can get the right amount of mineral and nutrients from 2%. One of the main causes of obesity in toddlers is actually too much whole milk. You don’t want to raise kids who are going to need diet pills early on.

•    If the taste of regular cow’s milk is not appeasing to your family, try goat’s milk, especially for children. It contains the same nutrients as a mother’s milk and is easier for children to digest.

•    If your child or your partner is lactose intolerant, go with a soy milk option, which is the best non-milk substitute for nutritional purposes. Keep in mind, though, that soy milk does not contain as much calcium as cow’s milk, so foods containing calcium (such as almonds and leafy green vegetables) will have to be included in their diet.

Meridia is taken by individuals looking to lose weight and have a problem over-eating. As an appetite suppressant and a weight loss maintenance program, Meridia can help you lose weight, raise your self-esteem, and help you to good about yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally. Meridia works by increasing the level of serotonin in the body, giving you a sense of feeling full, making you eat less and lose weight fast. Meridia works best alongside a low-calorie intake diet and daily exercise. Side effects can include: constipation; dry mouth; problems falling asleep; and increased blood pressure.

Xenical lowers the intake of fat and calories, making weight loss easy and efficient. If included in a healthy diet and exercise plan, it can be an effective tool to lose weight and keep it off. Like Meridia, it can help you lose weight, raise your self-esteem, and help you to good about yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally. Xenical works by blocking the absorption and digestion of fats in the intestines (with a lipase inhibitor); therefore, the fat bypasses the digestive system and immediately exits the body (via a bowel movement). Side effects can include: hives; fecal discharge when passing gas; flatulence; and urgent and/or frequent bowel movements.

Before deciding which weight loss pill is right for you, either Xenical or Meridia, speak with your primary health care physician or online pharmacist.

Some think Alli shouldn’t be sold without a prescription, since it can be misused and that the benefits of Alli aren’t likely to last in the long-term.  However, weight loss with Alli can be achieved and more so with diet and exercise.  You must remember though to be very careful to not exceed the maximum fat gram requirement with each meal to prevent unwanted side effects such as oily discharge.
