Is anyone currently taking the new diet pill Alli?
Question:
Answer:
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 started taking them on Monday and I have lost 3 pounds. I have also been walking 3 miles and eating 1200 to 1500 calories a day.
The amount of weight that you will lose with alli, all depends on you and how determined you are to lose weight.
Their ad states that you can lose 50% more weight with alli than dieting alone. So if you would have lost 10 pounds by dieting, then with alli you would lose 15. I think of it more as alli will help me reach my goal 50% faster.
Alli however, is not a miracle pill. With alli you do have to carefully watch the amount of fat that you eat and if you eat too much fatty foods there are some unpleasant side effects like an ugent need to poop, oily leakage and runny stools.
That is why before anyone takes alli they have to make a strict commitment to keep their fat intake at 15 grams or less at each meal. Since alli works as a fat blocker and blocks about 25% of the fat that you eat it keeps you calorie consumption lower but if you eat more than the recommended amount of fat alli the side effects kick in.
You basically have to decide whether or not you are willing to watch your fat grams in order to lose weight 50% faster.
Everyones weight loss will be different depending on how committed they are, how much they need to lose and if they are just starting to diet or if they are close to their goal weight and only need to lose a few pounds.
