Hello J.,
I am on it and have tried it when it was Xenical by RX only. What I am about to tell you it pretty personal and graphic, but I am being honest with the Ali pill.
It does work, but you have to be determined and actually do the diet (low-fat) or it won't work. It is great pill, but you CANNOT EAT ANY FAT or everything you eat has to be low in fat or you will be staining your undies all the time or having "flatuluance problems". When this happens, any speck of oil spot that you get on your undies may leak into your clothes, so be very careful and especially don't eat anything that you are not suppose to when you are not close to home. You will have oily and spotty stools as well. It is taking 25% of any fat that you eat at every meal, so at the beginning you will spend alot of time in the bathroom. I wear mini-pads anyway (long ones) and keep a pair of clean underwear and 3 to 4 mini-pads in my purse for "accidents" or side effects! You must watch you diet and really the only FREEBIES that you can eat where nothing will happen is FRUITS AND VEGESTABLES only!!
Go to the website at www.myali.com and it will explain alot to you, but I am telling you it is a great pill.
I am trying to lose another 25 pounds before my elective surgery in November, so this is helping me to watch what I put in my mouth and also working on my portion control.
Hope this helps. If you want more info...email me at ____@____.com
