7 Over-the-Counter Diet Pills that Work Without Exercise

Alli – GlaxoSmithKline PLC (ADR) (NYSE:GSK)

Up next in our list of over-the-counter diet pills that work without exercise is Alli, that is GlaxoSmithKline PLC (ADR) (NYSE:GSK)’s OTC version of the drug Orlistat, which is also sold as a prescription medication under the name “Xenical” (no idea how GlaxoSmithKline PLC (ADR) (NYSE:GSK) pulled that off, as it’s still the only FDA-approved OTC weight loss drug, but the $100 million they paid Roche to take it OTC has paid off big time in the years since). The drug inhibits the breakdown of fat, so your body absorbs less of it. However, it has some nasty side-effects. The pill should be taken in combination with a low-fat diet, because the fat that is not absorbed is usually eliminated from the bottom side of the body and if regular poop is gross enough, oily poop is a whole new level of gross.
