Alli

Posted by Tracy Rose Jun 11, 2007

Alli (Orlistat) is the first over-the-counter weight loss pill approved by the FDA. It has been designed to absorb fat as part of a plan that includes healthy eating and exercise. Alli claims to prevent a fourth of your dietary fat from being absorbed in your body.

Alli only works if you follow the complete program, including exercise and eating a sensible diet. It is not meant as a substitute for healthy eating and is not intended to absorb a quarter of your quarter pounder.

Support is another key to weight loss success while using Alli. My Alli Plan was designed to offer support and help you lose weight.

Of course, no dietary aide comes without possible side effects. For potential Alli users, the side effects could be a deterrent. A common side effect is loose, watery stool. It is also stated that this can strike unexpectedly. This could be an embarrassing problem and you would have no control over when it would occur. Oily spotting is not a pleasant side effect, but it is what happens when the fat is moved through your body quickly rather than being absorbed.
