Lose Body Fat with Alli?

Alli is the “first” over-the-counter weight loss drug that has been given approval by the US Food and Drug Administration. Alli was granted authority to include the drug Orlistat after a ’study’ concluded that Alli may help people lose up to one pound per month. Amazing!

How Does Alli Work?

Alli is the over-the-counter marketing name for Xenical (Orlistat), a prescription drug used to treat obesity that was initially approved in 1999. Xenical, is the prescription drug name for Orlistat — it contains a higher dosage of Orlistat than Alli. Since Alli was made available, it has pretty much made the sale of Xenical obsolete.

Alli is a fat inhibitor, not a fat burner or carb blocker. Its main purpose is to prevent the absorption of fats into the body. If you eat fatty foods and are taking Alli - that fat has to go somewhere, right? If you have been keeping up on the news, Alli has some ‘messy’ side effects. That is why a low-fat diet is 110% essential when supplementing with Alli. Why? Because if you don’t, hopefully you brought an extra pair of underwear and pants to work!

Alli Side Effects

According to Alli’s official site if you eat fatty foods while taking Alli those fats simply “pass out of your body”. If you want the truth, as tens of thousands of Alli users can attest to, a better phrase would be that the fats simply “leak from your body”. No joke. Fatty, Oily, Smelly anal seepage / leakage.

The side effects of Alli are:

• Gas with oily spotting
• Loose stools
• More frequent stools that may be hard to control

After I read up on customer reviews and spoke with friends who have taken Alli, I went back and read through their site. It is absolutely hilarious when you realize that all of these quotes center around the fact that you will have uncontrollable oily anal seepage:

* “pick a day to begin taking alli, such as a weekend day so you can stay close to home if you experience a treatment effect.” ie lock yourself in your bathroom and don’t come out

* “until you have a sense of any treatment effects, it’s probably a smart idea to wear dark pants, and bring a change of clothes with you to work.” I can’t comment further on this one.

* “You may not usually get gassy, but it’s a possibility when you take Alli. The bathroom is really the best place to go when that happens.” ie. Grumbly in the Tummy = Full sprint to the bathroom!

So Why Take Alli?

Good question right? Do the benefits outweigh the consequences? If you follow Alli guidelines and maintain a minimal fat consumption, accompanied with exercise - guess what? You are going to lose weight. You don’t need Alli to do that. The only benefit of Alli is that it penalizes you, in a most horrific and embarrassing way, for eating fatty foods, or simply not eating right. It is either eat right or crap your pants. You are training yourself, getting into good eating habits. And for some people, that might be worth the price of public humiliation (but not to me).

Alli Conclusion

FDA approval and Alli’s marketing blitz aside you really should look at the facts surrounding Alli. They make the same claim that all diet supplement companies make. That you should take this supplement in conjunction with proper diet and a good exercise routine. No brainer right? What you don’t need is the fear of crapping your pants or oily leakages during a business lunch or while you are out shopping or picking the kids up from school.
