Diet Pills won’t make weight loss any easier

Pharmacists explain that these products can make it easier to deal with hunger and can help your body burn fat, but they’re all supposed to be used in concert with a healthy diet and exercise. No one’s going to lose 10 kilograms solely from taking a pill every day. Then they told me candidly, “Mostly we carry weight-loss products because they’re in demand. But we only have two or three over there, because they’re all pretty much the same. There’s no need to fill the shelves with 40 different weight-loss packages.”

So what’s with the naked ladies in the window? “Oh, we don’t have those ads in the window all the time! It’s just because it’s spring and people are starting to think about trying to fit into their bikini.” So, even if French pharmacies won’t stoop to selling cigarettes to make a buck, they’re still capitalist enterprises. And they’re not beyond displaying a model’s naked butt to encourage you to hop in and pick up a 20 or 30 Euro box of pills that could help you lose weight, as long as you diet and exercise as well.
