Does Alli work?

Alli can help you lose weight, but the weight loss likely won’t be great — perhaps just a few pounds more than you would lose with diet and exercise alone. Only a small number of studies have evaluated the effectiveness of Alli. And many of the weight-loss estimates are based on studies conducted on its prescription-strength counterpart, Xenical.

The average weight loss for prescription-strength Xenical is modest — about 6 pounds greater than diet and exercise alone after one year. So at half the strength, Alli could conceivably result in an average of 3 pounds lost in a year in addition to the approximately 8 pounds you could expect to lose from diet and exercise alone.

Here are a list of peoples opinions :

If you start, please start on your off day so that you are a where of how the loose bowels will affect you. Upon returning to work, bring extra underwear, cleaning cloth and wear dark pants. If you eat a kid’s size McDonald’s meal containing just the small fries and hamburger, you will need to stay in the bathroom most of the day because it has 38 grams of fat and you are to have less than 15 grams per meal.

All info:
Without Alli, if you follow their diet directions and exercise, you will lose weight.

They say that you can lose 50% more than the regular dieter. The reason they are allowed to say this is because people who dieted with Alli lost 5 pounds over several months and the people without using alli lost 2.5 pounds which is a 50% difference. According to Alli, you have to be commented to the following before starting:

- I am willing to do the hard work to LOSE WEIGHT GRADUALLY.

-I am committed to following a REDUCED-CALORIE, LOW-FAT DIET. (an average of 15 grams of fat per meal)

-I understand that if I take Alli with a meal containing too much fat, I may get TREATMENT EFFECTS, such as loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge.

-I am committed to eating SMALLER PORTIONS.

-I am committed to making the time to be more PHYSICALL ACTIVE.

-I will READ AND FOLLOW the Alli label.

According to Alli, “If you agree with all 6 statements above, you may be ready for Alli. If you disagree with any statement, learn more at myalli.com

Best of luck.

My friend tried it for several days and is off already because of the oily bowel discharge and because she still could not control her eating intake.

Because Alli works on the digestive system and not the brain (telling you that you are full) she had a hard time sticking with it like any other diet.

According to a report, after discontinuing Alli, the patients put the weight back on.

Best of luck !

I’ve never tooken diet pills before and im not a scientist but from what i’ve heard just don’t take a shortcut for dieting…the only thing thats gonna do is hurt you.For example once you have tooken the pill and have gotten to your goal weight then what?! when you quit the pill you are gonna gain all the weight again. Also it hurts all of your insides. But that’s just me giving an opinion you do whatever your head tells ya.GOOD LUCK!!!! =]

Alli does not allow absorption of fat into the body. Therefore, the fat has to go somewhere – out. From what I’ve heard, eating at Wendy’s or McDonald’s would require you sticking near a bathroom afterward. These are unconfirmed reports.

It is the only FDA-approved diet pill. However, even the experts say that the pill will help, but exercise has to be part of the program.
