The source of these reported side effects is sketchy AF but... Most of these symptoms are just the usual things associated with rapid weight loss.

I didn't see anything that I haven't read anywhere else. And all the symptoms are probably better for the person than being fat. The amount of fat people I see daily is appalling. You all need to do something.

I'm hoping they take fat pills just until they get to healthy weight, then stop and adjust lifestlyes. But many won't, and the long-term use is what is gonna be the big issue I think.
