man, wouldnt it just be easier if we pooped out all our extra cals and fats?

imagine if we could eat anything and know that we will just poop out our extra calories and fats and stuff, and wouldnt have to worry about gaining weight. everyone would have around the same body, and people wouldnt have to obsess with their weight. that would be awesome

and everyone would be pooping ALL the time lol. i know i would! id probley eat constantly and consequently spend like one third of my life on the toliet

omg there would be so much waste, we'd be buried. eww.

is this thread an Alli advertisement?

 that was exactly my thought

what's Alli?

They already have a diet like that.  It's called Atkins.  And you can enhance the amount and ferver of the pooping if you snack on those fake chocolate laxative bars.

Alli is a prescription medication that prevents you from metabolizing dietary fat.

Edited to mention that it's not a magic pill.  It has side effects, and you must be under the supervision of a physician to take it.

 Dude - don't even go there - this post is by a silly 15 yo girl, and by her prior posts is 5' 5.5", 115lbs, but still wants to lose a couple.    You don't need to be giving her any ideas.

Isn't that what those prescription diet pills do? If you ate too much fat they got the runs bad.

The problem is, there is a primordial reason we store fat. It was for survival. The feast and the famine. Our ancestors had times when they did not have enough food...being hunter/gatherers that happened often I am sure. Now we have tons of all kinds of foods available to us. We also sit around more. We hardly work in comparison when you think of how much machines and technology have made things TOO EASY for us.

The answer isn't pooping it out. The answer is being smarter about what we eat and consciously moving around more.

My favorite side effect of Alli (I read it on the back of the box while I was in line at the pharmacy) is "gas with oily spotting."

Sign me up.

Ewwww...to the side effects. HA HA HA.

Yeah it would be nice..but then again if you lived in a house with only one bathroom and with more then 1 person in the house then you're screwed and you would probably have to buy diapers or **** in your pants. Not only that, but the world would start smelling pretty funky. LMAO.

a friend of mine took alli and ate pizza. she then sharted herself. i still laugh at her to this very day.

I poop enough as it is!  Sheesh!  I eat anything that is fatty or fried I poop my brains out within 10 minutes...and yet...I'm still a fat kid!

Haha!! My boyfriend and I were waiting in line at the pharmacy too and were discussing Slim Fast, etc, and he saw the Alli box and was like "hey, why don't we try that?" I told him that I had heard that if you took Alli and didn't very carefully regulate your fat consumption, you would crap your pants. He didn't believe me. So I read him the warnings on the box and he changed his mind REAL quick! 

the word shart never gets old

I went to school with a kid who got a disease that caused him to poop out his fat. Literally. It affected his legs so they were honestly literally skin, muscle and bone. It also caused fat to pool in his face for some reason. He was very very sick and even 8 years after he was "cured" of the disease, his legs and face remained the same.
