Side Effects Include: Leakage!

During a discussion with a co-worker today we drifted onto the topic of diet pills. She was telling me of a radio ad flogging a bottle of fat loss pills. Beyond the likely generic tag line that they all promote 'lose weight fast and easy', the thing that stood out to her was the side effects: diarrhea, headache...and...LEAKAGE!

Sorry, did you say leakage? Yup.

It should be a rule of life better stressed before Economics 100. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Or...better read as...nothing in life is free; everything has a price. Everything does. Losing weight, building a business, spending time watching TV or even sleeping, you pay for all in one way or another. If you are starting a new habit (read: diet pills) think of the costs. Think of the radio ad...think of leakage!!!

And just for kicks, here are some other common side effects of diet pills:

- nervousness
- headaches and nausea
- diarrhea
- bulging eyes
- racing heartbeat
- elevated blood pressure
- heart failure
