Amazon.com Product Description

alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule. But it's more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat. The alli program starts with your commitment to adopting healthy eating habits. It combines the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product with an individually tailored support plan to help you achieve gradual and healthy weight loss. When you take alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, you can lose 50% more weight than dieting alone. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds with diet alone, you can lose 15 pounds with the alli program. alli is safe - it works in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. It will not cause jitters, sleeplessness, or a racing heart. You can't just try alli - you have to commit to it. More information can be found at myalli.com, where you can also talk to alli users, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and fitness experts on the alli message board. Or talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian to help determine if you're ready.
Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories. The main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can't absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them "treatment effects." These include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal. Don't use alli if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have had an organ transplant, or if you are taking cyclosporine. Do not take alli if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in alli capsules. Ask a doctor before using alli if you are taking warfarin. Do not take alli if you are not overweight. You can take up to three alli capsules per day, one with each meal containing fat. Take a multivitamin daily while taking alli capsules to ensure adequate absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta carotene.

Customer Reviews

Finally, something that actually works...
The only weight loss assistance product (fat blocker) that has worked for me. Two friends are also using it with success. The fact that this is an over the counter remedy is also a plus. Very few side effects (you will have to read about those elsewhere) and a provider of great benefit that clearly outweighs any side effects one might experience.

Takes some getting use to... but all is well after a few weeks.

If you are more than 20% overweight this is a fantastic alternative to harsh prescription drugs, bad diets, and false remedies. Recommended !

Great for weight loss if you are ready and willing!!
This product is a wonderful weight loss aid - I have lost 41 pounds in 7 months (and is much cheaper on Amazon than it is in the stores)!! You DO have to include diet and exercise (but anything that tells you that you don't is either lying, unhealthy or both)! Here is what Alli does for you:
1. It burns away 1/4 of the fat that you eat without any stimulant

2. It makes you lose 50% more weight than you would on your own (so if you were going to lose 10lbs you lose 15lbs instead!

3. It has no stimulants that can damage your heart and make you shaky and unstable - those are very bad for you.

4. Alli is the ONLY weight loss OTC drug that is FDA approved - meaning they know that it is proven and safe!

If you are just starting out I would recommend the starter kit because it includes some great extra goodies (like a case to carry the pills with you when you are on the go and some books that help to get you started).

There are a few warnings to give:
1. If you eat too much fat (more than 15g of fat per meal depending on the person maybe you could eat more but probably shouldn't since you are dieting anyway) YOU WILL GET ILL THE NEXT DAY. But I like to see it as a deterrent - it keeps you from over binging. If you really want something, I like using a one bite rule. Just take one bite - get that wonderful taste in your mouth - and move on to your healthier meal. It is hard but it is definitely worth it! (If you do know of a special occasion where you want to eat really fancy fatty food make sure you don't take the medicine for about 4 days before)

2. Start eating healthy about a week prior to starting the program so you don't have any residual fat just to make sure you don't get sick.

3. IT IS ONLY AN AID! You have to be ready to eat right and exercise or your progress will be minimal at best.

The side effects sound scary but are most definitely worth it if you have weight to lose and want something to accompany diet and exercise! It has worked for many friends and family - the best for those who are truly dedicated to an exercise program.

They do have a website that can help you with tips and plans! Good luck!

GET IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YOU
I have been on the Alli plan for months and it is a lifesaver. I have never had a problem with treatment effects or anything like people say you will. The only way that happens is if you don't follow the specific instructions to this new way of life. Optimum weight loss, simple plan, and cheaper than most other do-it-yourself weight loss regimens.
