What are some diet pill horror stories?

There are also stories of people not losing the expected amount of weight despite following the diet plan along with taking Alli.

There was a man who had a sedentary job and was overweight. He began taking Alli along with a light exercise routine, just 30 minutes of walking three times a week. Alli made him more aware of how much fat he was consuming. Whenever he ate something high - in - fat, he would experience the unpleasant side effects of the pill if he didn't control his portion. This motivated him to cut down on fatty foods. He managed to lose 15 pounds in two months.

Another horror story is about continuous spotting and irregular bleeding. Instead of having a normal menstrual cycle, some women on the birth control pill had bleeding that could start at any time.

One horror story is about people not getting enough protein. A friend of mine on a vegan diet felt constantly weak. She didn't realize she wasn't consuming enough plant - based proteins like beans and lentils at first. Another is the struggle with vitamin B12 deficiency.

One horror story is about people getting really bad constipation. Since the carnivore diet lacks fiber from fruits and vegetables, the digestive system can slow down. Another is the potential for nutrient deficiencies in the long - run. Without a variety of food sources, it's easy to miss out on important vitamins like vitamin C. Also, some people on this diet reported having really bad breath all the time, which can be quite off - putting in social situations.

Well, there are cases where those on the tapeworm diet had unexpected allergic reactions. The presence of the tapeworm in the body triggered an immune response. Some people developed rashes all over their bodies and had difficulty breathing. It was really terrifying as they had no idea this would happen when they started this so - called 'diet'. Moreover, getting rid of the tapeworms once they entered the body was not easy at all and often required medical intervention which was also a very unpleasant process.
