Jewels, double blind experiments say you're wrong. Fat blockers are effective in stopping the absorbtion of up to 30% of dietary fat. You're welcome to your opinion, but that's the science. Whatever difference in our logic, those drugs have a proven effective rate. As with any drug, individuals have different reactions than the statistical norm, so not everyone gets the same results. But that's true with every single drug on the market.
The other pharmceutical option is amphetimine-based. That works by speeding up metabolism. Again, it's effective but not miraculous.
So on one hand we have statistical studies with peer-reviewed results. On the other hand we have your anecdotal evidence. I don't have a dog in this hunt other than warning folks off of the OTC stuff since it can be dangerous, but I'm pragmatist enough to realize that consistentcy in drug development and manufacturing outweighs your opinion when forming my own. I'm pretty well versed in what it takes to get ANY drug to market in the US and that the FDA doesn't approve drugs that don't work, regardless of what the potential payouts are.
