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.

Product Description
Unlike many products currently on the market, Alli slimming pills only work in the digestive tract, which is the area where your body absorbs various aspects of the food which you eat. By only acting in this area, there are no side affects to for example your heart rate, brain activity, sleep patterns, nerves or your body clock. The active ingredients in the pill allow you to control the production of enzymes in the intestine which are used to breakdown and convert food into fatty acids. By reducing the level of the enzyme in the intestine it is possible to directly reduce the amount of fatty acids absorbed. After the enzymes have absorbed as much material as possible, the remaining food elements are excreted as pure fat. While many other weight loss products require medical supervision and medical advice, Alli has been proven to be safe and reliable, having been developed from a reduced dosage of the earlier prescription weight loss drug Orlistat. Clinical trials have shown the immediate impact upon the body mass index as soon as treatment begins, and while there are mild side effects, these are fully controllable. Another vital benefit of Alli Weight Loss is the fact that the treatment only targets the fat content of food, and the absorption of fatty acids. Due to the direct influence on the level of a particular enzyme in the intestine, other food content such as carbohydrates and proteins will be untouched, and the levels absorbed not affected by taking Alli pills. This is a direct contradiction to many other slimming products which can suppress the intake of all food, thereby robbing the body not only of fatty content, but also vital carbohydrates and proteins - thereby directly affecting the person ability to work, exercise, etc.

 Two years on Orlistat June 29, 2007

I've been taking this product for two years now. It was prescribed by my doctor after I stopped smoking and gained quite a bit of weight. I lost 60 pounds but also dieted vigorously and exercised regularly at the gym on the treadmill for 35 minutes. Oily discharge sometimes? you bet, but only when I ate meals with a high fat content. Couple bits of advice: if you feel like you need to fart, don't. You can't be sure of what will come out. Restrain yourself until you get to a toilet, just in case. Also, not only fried chicken and fried food have fat. Any kind of red meat has fat content. Rule of thumb for me is if calories from fat are high, I take a pill with the meal. This product is a lifesaver but it only works with diet and exercise.

I dieted for about a month with very meager results. 1200 calories a day, and I lost only about 1.5 pounds per week.
When I started the Alli pills my weight loss more than doubled. It has slightly tapered off over time, but it's obviously had a dramatic effect and I have lost about 25 pounds surprisngly quickly.
I still eat fatty meals at times (15 grams of fat per meal is recommended but I find this too restrictive), yet the side effects are still pretty minor. When I eat lower fat meals they are nonexistant. They also seem to descrease over time.
This works if followed as directed! August 3, 2007

I have been on the plan for one week and lost 5 pounds! I followed the instructions and limitted my fat intake to under 15 grams per meal and kept to my recommended calorie intake. I did more walking than I usually do. For about three of my meals this week, I forgot to take the pill, but I still lost 5 pounds. As for treatment effects, they are no worse than before I started taking Alli for example when I ate products like CarbSmart icecream which has Splenda in it but a high fat content or when I used to eat fried chicken. I just do like other reviewers on this site have recommended and get to a bathroom if I even slightly feel the urge to go. For someone like myself who has been struggling to lose weight for the past three years, this product is very helpful and is helping me to make the committment to lose weight. Before Alli, I gave up on other diet and exercise plans because the weight would not come off as quickly as I'd hope and that would leave me feeling very frustrated so I stopped dieting too soon. I plan on continuing with Alli and with results like these I will succeed where I failed in the past because I will see the weight come off a bit faster. As another reviewer stated, Alli will help me stick to the program because instead of taking 6-8 months to lose 50 pounds, with Alli I can hopefully cut that down to 4-5 months or less!

I've been using Alli now since the middle of November, and I've lost 12 pounds, on schedule with the promised 1-2 pounds of safe weight loss per week. They have a very robust online support site for people who purchase the pills and it provides useful tracking of weight loss and encouragement in more ways than I can use. The treatment effects that you read about are what keeps people honest with Alli and essentially make it work -- if you eat too much fat at one sitting, you'll be visiting the bathroom quite frequently. You learn quick. I made it through the holidays with continued weight loss, which I view as an amazing feat. I have 13 more pounds to lose on my plan and I'll weigh what I did before I had my two kids. Easy to use, promotes healthy eating habits and lifestyle changes, and self-critiquing when you stray from the plan. I would recommend Alli to others -- it's a little pricy but I'm getting my money's worth out of it.

I have been using Alli for over 2 months and have seen great results. Even though I don't always stay under the daily calories its a pill that I take with my meals that makes me want to stay under 19 grams of fat, so is a motivater in a pill. People talk about Treatment Effects. I have had some, but they aren't bad and if you know you ate something bad, just prepare and use more protection ( with your normal undergarments for the possible oil leakage, I know gross but better coming out then staying in). Never had I had any horrible TE's, its been a easy ride and I will continue to take my Alli as it keeps my diet in check.
