Go Ask Alice

"One pill makes you larger, one pill makes you small. 

The ones that Mother gives you, don't do anything at all. 

Go ask Alice, when she was just as small."

(From Jefferson Airplane's song "White Rabbit")

So if there really was a magic pill to lose weight, what would that mean? Well, since most traditional magic is an illusion, the weight loss from that magic pill would end up being an illusion too. You have to change your lifestyle...THAT is where the real magic is found.
