So I try to diet during the week, because my weekend eating habits are none so great. But I worry about all of the chemical additives and non-food items that are in many of the diet products that I eat, so I was super excited when Yoplait Yogurt came out with a simple variety of Yogurt, which they named, Simplait (cute I know), which only had 6 ingredients... all of which are REAL food. And, I found a coupon in the Sunday paper for buy-one-get-one on this product.
Well, it might be healthier for my body, if I could actually eat it. I tried both the blackberry and the strawberry versions of this yogurt and could not stomach either. Both made me want to gag, the flavor was awful. Plus, each yogurt contained 200 calories, instead of the 50-80 calorie versions of diet yogurts that I usually purchase.
All in all, I'll risk the chemicals and stick to Dannon Light and Fit or Yoplait's Fiber One 50 calorie yogurt, both of those taste yummy (for all their additives) and don't put nearly detract nearly as many calories from my daily goal. If I'm sticking to 1600 calories a day during the week, I don't want to waste 1/8 of them on a terrible tasting yogurt.

Alli Diet Pill

Ok, so I know wer're all looking for the wonder pill that will help us magically kick weight while we pig out on fast food and ice cream. This is not it. If you do go for Alli, you should get the books and try to live the whole plan instead of just taking the pills. Taking the pills will cause your body to not process about 30% of the fat you each, however, it does this by making stool somewhat more liquid. So if you continue to eat massive quantities of fat and just take this pill, figuring that any help is better than none, life is going to get a little gross. And if you can't deal with gross, stop reading here. While taking this pill, it can turn passing gas into a situation where a diaper would have been useful.
The drug’s maker, GlaxoSmithKline, has even been up front about the pill’s side effects, suggesting that first timers wear dark pants or bring a change of clothes to work until they get used to Alli's potential consequences. All in all, while it may help you kick weight, you shouldn't take this pill unless you're willing to stick with the complete program.
