Can I take the Alli diet pill??
Question:
Is it a good idea?? Anyone try diet pills with metformin?
Answer:
be sure to stay close to a bathroom with lots of toilet paper :-)
Alli is completely safe, but it does make strange things come outta your butt!
i have a friend on metformin and it hasnt helped her at all either. You can take Alli if you are going to eat well and exercise. If you ingest too much fat you will have gastrointestinal incontinence, gas with an oily discharge (weeping) and general discomfort.
In a recent study, those taking Alli lost 10 piunds while those not taking Alli but eating the same diet and following the same gentle exercise routine lost 7 pounds. Three pounds is not a huge difference, so you may also succeed without taking Alli.*
Good luck whatever you decide.
Best thing you should go to the doctor and get what is best for you...
Alli is suppose to be for "long term weight lost goals" as indicated in their web site.
Please read:
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 !
