Product Description

Alli is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product. But that's only part of what's different about Alli. First, Alli is not a miracle pill or a quick fix. Lots of other weight loss products promise results overnight. But Alli is based on good things like hard work, smart choices, and gradual weight loss. Second, Alli is a unique combination of a pill and a plan to help you lose even more weight than dieting alone. If you could lose 10 pounds through dieting alone, you could lose 15 with Alli. But Alli only works if you work. And individual results may vary. NOTE: This product cannot be shipped to Canada due to customs restrictions.

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

Helps a lot with weight maintenance and/or loss.
I've lost about ten pounds without really trying, just taking 3-4 of these a day with lunch and dinner and snacks. Try them, and use as directed. I am having to wear more size 10 pants, and must wear a belt with my size 12's. It works.

Not just for weight-loss!!!
I initially ordered Alli strictly for weight-loss. However, I now use it to keep me regular. I have always been extremely irregular, many times going 2 weeks without relief. Irregularity causes extreme bloating, pain and irritibility. I have always had to use laxatives every week, just to move things along. But, as anyone knows who's ever used laxatives, they cause pain and you better be home while you're using them. I have also tried colon cleansers with absolutely 0 results (unless you consider extreme bloating a result). With Alli, I go every day and without the pain. I have only experienced the oily discharge one time in 3 months, so it is great for me. If you are anything like me, then you would benefit greatly from this product.

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 !
