Has Anyone Tried the Alli Diet Pill?

I have not personally used Alli, but I was a representative for Xenical (the prescription version) when it was FDA approved 10 years ago, so I know a lot of the clinical information about the original product. Allis is just a lower dose available over the counter.

Myalli.com is a good place to go for information as it's a social community (similar to Facebook or Mamapedia) for people who are using it.

It works by blocking 30% of the fat in your diet from being absorbed in the intestines......that means, it is excreted in your feces.

The drug will make you be honest about your food intake, or you will have embarrassing side effects. We'd often hear from doctors about patients who ate a fast food meal, took their medication and had an embarrassing event (usually passing gas and leaking fat).

The FDA recently issued some new language around its effect on the liver, so I'd recommend you check it out and perhaps call your physician just to be sure there are no concerns with taking it.

Alli will have NO effect on your appetite (my biggest problem is overeating as well). So, it may not give you the desired results if your problem is portion size. I would strongly advise against anything that boosts your metabolism as most have problems with cardiovascular health.

The only thing I can recommend for portion size is to slow down how quickly you eat (it takes 20 minutes to feel full), drink a glass of water before you eat (to fill your stomach up) and get as much fiber in your diet as possible. Fiber will both fill you up and help block the absorption of carbs (you must have more than 5g/serving for it to work this way).

Good luck!

The Ali pill eliminates fat from your food in the intestines. I guess that might work in that it would scare you into eating less fat so that you didn’t have embarrassing accidents. I recommend the 6 week body make over program. It lets you eat foods that are truly satisfying, balanced, and healthy. It has a mandatory, but mild exercise program that accompanies an eating program. In 6 weeks I lost 16 pounds and I felt good doing it. I toned my body and I can go back to eating this way when I put on the pounds.

No Alli for me...no accident in the pants. I am about 20 lbs over too, so I have just been cooking with less food. I can cook a dish for four with one chicken breast. No one seems to mind.

I tried the eating 6 times a day in smaller portions, but I think that made me eat more than I would have normally, so I am cutting that out. The best thing that worked for me was to eat an actual portion. If the box of cheeze its say a portion size is 12 little squares, then 12 little square it is.

Ihave an entire bottle and the starter package if you want it!
A mother at my daughters school did and looked amazing for it. So I spent the $80, I think I ate too much fat at two parties that weekend and it wasn't pretty.....so I just go to Boot camp now.
