Customer Reviews

Repetive
Initially I was excited about this book as a companion to the Alli pills I purchased. That is, until I opened the Alli box and found there was ample literature about diet and exercise included.
My advice is to see if you really want more information than provided, and then go ahead and buy the book.
I wish I hadn't.

alli + the plan = no side effects
I tried the pill without the plan and had some side effects, but when I followed Dr. Apovian's plan I was fine. This book helps me stick to the diet longer.

An excellent addition to your Alli Diet Plan
Yes, the starter kit includes cards which have some of the same information contained in this book. I still think the book is a great asset, as it is far easier to find the exact chapter you need, whether it is starting a walking or other exercise plan - or simply planning meals, with tons of recipes included in Chapter 6
Other benefits of this book include:
A Detailed explanation of how Alli works

Explaining each of the three phases of the diet as well as menus for each phase

Teaching people how to stick to the plan and still eat out

Exercise

Recipes which are LOW in fat, minimizing the unpleasant side effects of taking too much fat while on this medication.
