Leptopril Diet Pill Test

Leptopril is the generic for the diet pill Leptoprin -- you know, the one that is $153 a bottle. Believe me, there is no way that I would pay that much to take a chance! But Leptopril, being a generic, is much less expensive.

I actually got this last year, but didn't have much luck with it. Of course, I also wasn't even pretending to diet -- just eating what I normally ate. Maybe it prevented me from gaining weight, but I sure didn't lose any. So I quit taking it.

But now I've giving it one more shot. I have about 10 day's worth, so let's see what happens.

To be fair, Leptopril has the standard comment of "to be used with a sensible diet and exercise program" -- you can't expect to lose weight if you aren't even trying to make an effort (no matter what the TV commercials imply).

I know how much weight I could expect to lose in 10 days, based on what I've seen so far since I started this weight-loss journey on Sunday - about 4-5 pounds. So if I lose more than 5 pounds from today's weight by the 15th, it will be due to Leptopril.

Stay tuned for the results!
