Product Description
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.

I’ve tried all kinds of diets and diet pills and exercise programs to lose the 40+ pounds I gained during college and afterward. Alli is better than any of those things, for so many reasons. First of all, the pills only work in your digestive system, so they don’t make you hyper or jumpy or lightheaded…in fact, they don’t make you feel anything unless you consume a meal with a high percentage of fat. In that case you’ll have some unpleasant side effects, but it’s a good reminder that your goal should be learning to eat properly. I’ve lost 28 pounds in nearly 6 months. My doctor gave me a high five.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February, 2007 approved orlistat capsules (Alli 60 mg. capsule) as an over-the-counter (OTC) weight loss aid for overweight adults, kudos to Bush administration. Prior to this date, orlistat was marketed only as Xenical, the prescription form of the same drug, orlistat. The FDA did a fine job in making orlistat an OTC, ahead of the EU, for instance. Orlistat works by inhibiting the fat-busting enzyme called Lipase in the gut. The “unbusted” fats cannot be absorbed by the body and they find their way into the toilet. In doses of 120 mg. three times a day, 30% of eaten fats will go into the sewer. Less than 2% of the drug gets absorbed in the body so more than 98% of the drug passes in the stools, mostly unchanged. Still not happy?
One might ask what happens to the bad fats in the blood, e.g. bad cholesterol? One can expect lowering of bad cholesterol aka LDL, the lethal variety that makes widows. It does not affect the good cholesterol aka HDL by much but the HDL gets up by exercising, the pill is a good adjunct to ‘other things’ such as eating healthier foods, not drinking alcohol, exercising, not smoking etc. The pill is taken only with a fatty meal. In other words, if you are eating an apple for lunch, there is no need to waste a capsule there. Many feel that this is an “expensive” capsule. I agree. The sponsor is making a killing over some lousy fat fed to people by way of fast foods, another killing in the first degree. Frankly, a Big Mac should come with one free orlistat. In the global economy, one orlistat should cost no more than 12-15 cents, in my view and they still will make decent profits. I do not know when the patent is up for the generics to plunge in. Hopefully soon.
Administration
Administer during or up to 1 hour after each main meal containing fat.
Precautions:
Fat soluble vitamins also ‘get lost’ in the process. A multivitamin containing the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) should be administered once daily at least 2 hours before or after Alli. Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is a common condition as it is (thanks to the deep freeze winters). Orlistat will make this worse. This is especially important in women and is totally preventable. Lack of Vitamin D also causes muscle incoordination besides thin bones thus increasing the chances of fall and fracture, a big deal.
Orlistat is a God sent pill for Type II diabetics. Therapy modification is usually recommended w your doctor.
Orlistat is not recommended for use during pregnancy/lactation and transplant patients.
Drug interactions
If you are taking blood thinners, transplant drugs, or some other prescription meds, you need to talk to your doctor for adjustment. Your pharmacist has a list of these for free.
Drink plenty of water when on orlistat to keep kidneys happy.
For obese kids over 12, consult with your doctor.
Orlistat thus appears to be a safe drug, no lawyer has collected anything on it that I am aware of. Now, that is something.

Alli- Orlistat Weightloss Aid Formula, 240ct Refill Pack
Good Product at great price. This is not to be used by someone in the initial stages or as your first try. Does not include the support material to get started which is VERY IMPORTANT. The only thing that would make it better is if the company would offer free shipping. Ships quickly.

The disclaimers for Alli scare most people, flatulence, loose stools and oily spotting. Excuse me, if you eat a dozen doughnuts fried in lard aren’t those same side affects a possibility? I want to control my weight and still be allowed more than a soda cracker and a stalk of celery. Alli gives me the best of both worlds. Together with exercise and prudent food choices, I have lost weight and I am not constantly worrying if the last carrot stick has thrown my plan out the window. I have not had to worry with gas, bloating or oily spotting, but when its time, I need to heed the call. You will need to clean oily residue from the toilet bowl. A small vial of dish soap in your make up bag goes a long way in being a considerate guest. Is it any prettier than sweating to death while testing the tensile strength of polyester exercise pants? Obesity ain’t pretty and there is one way fat people get skinny; its called starvation. I am grateful Alli feels and acts just like an ally in an age long battle with weight. Don’t buy it if you aren’t ready to accept the cost of doing business, of which, it is about 60% less expensive at Amazon than the drugstore.
