Customer Reviews of Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 60-Count Starter Pack
Customer Review: Read the instructions, use logically, it works
Summary: 5 Stars
Alright so check it out - everyone seems to jump right on their computer like the next day after starting these pills and write a scathing review about how the product either doesn't work or causes catastrophic "treatment effects." If you read the literature accompanying Alli, you will find out that there are certain measures you should be taking both before you start the pill and obviously throughout the time that you use the product.
If you just binged on fast food and foods with high fat content and then start taking the pill the next day, bad things will probably happen. And let's be realistic, 2 or 3 days is not enough time for your body to shed drastic amounts of weight, no matter how fast we want it to go away. There are about 3500 calories in a pound, so keep that in mind and don't get discouraged.
I've been on Orlistat for the full 20 days that the starter pack allots for and I've lost 10 pounds. I weighed 208 when I started, I'm now 197. I had been dieting casually and hitting the gym hard for the previous two or three months and had lost weight (started at 236 in early May) but began to hit a plateau where I was seeing only about 2 pounds being shed every couple of weeks. So, losing about 11 pounds in such a short amount of time with roughly the same diet and exercise program has proven to me that this pill does make a difference, and about exactly what it says it does - 50% more weight.
However, you must play around with your diet.
While I was taking in about the same amount of calories (1800/day) as I was before starting Alli, I had to adjust the fat content so that I was taking in MORE fat. This is the key to losing the weight. The drug works by blocking about a third of the fat your body absorbs from the food you eat, so if you are eating only 3 grams of fat with a reduced calorie meal (like some of the people on here eating only like lettuce and reduced fat wheat bread..crazy..) the pill won't have much of an effect, and doesn't that make sense? For example, instead of eating a plain sub with turkey and vegetables that has only about 5 or 6 grams of fat, I add cheese and low fat dressing and maybe baked chips to bring the total to about 15 grams of fat, thus making the pill more effective.
However, YOU STILL HAVE TO STAY WITHIN YOUR CALORIE TARGETS FOR EACH MEAL, for me about 400 to 600. All unused calories that aren't burned off as energy will be stored in your body as fat for energy later, so try and take in what you need to sustain yourself throughout the day, using an analogy equating your stomach to a gas tank in a car being 1/4 to 3/4 full.
So, if you're willing to do some experimenting with your body (yeah, we all get the treatment effects now and then and it is best to take the advice of the other people on here and get to a bathroom no matter what) you can benefit greatly from Alli.
And another thing about the treatment effects, you will be disciplined to make the right choices more often when using the pills but for those times when you can't find it in you to turn down something naughty, don't take the pill with what you're eating. The bad food will probably still catch up with you as a result of the Orlistat already in your body, but it won't be as bad. And the treatment effects really aren't the hellish nightmares that I even thought they would be when I began. Just be responsible.
Read the material, exercise, and eat the right foods at the right times. It's all the ABC's of eating healthy basically, you're just adding a catalyst that is safer than other caffeine-pumped weight loss aids out there that can land you in the hospital.
-UPDATE- It is important to know that it would, of course, be absurd if one were to add additional fat willy-nilly to their diet just to use Alli. If a person is satisfied eating three meals a day with no fat in them, or even only 5-10 grams (a tall order for most of us), then that is great and she or he will most likely lose weight with exercise and a proper caloric intake, but Alli is not for that person. Alli requires someone to consume a "target" amount of fat with each meal, the threshold being 15 grams of fat. If you are like most Americans, myself included, then you will not stay satisfied on a diet regimen that forces you to eat meals with no fat. This is the type of extreme diet that people will eventually give up on. This may include someone who has lost their goal weight of 100 pounds, or someone in their first month of "dieting."
Alli makes it possible for people to eat food that is low fat instead of fat-free. This, in turn, makes eating a meal a more pleasureable experience. For example, the turkey sub with six grams of fat I had previously mentioned would be the type of meal that when eaten three times a day would eventually leave me dissatisfied, as I am sure it would many others. By adding cheese and baked chips to it, I was able to enjoy the meal more and also reach my target for Alli to be most effective.
The drug does not work by ridding your body of the full amount it claims to if you do not eat a certain amount of fat. If you happen to already be eating a meal or meals that contain(s) a negligible amount of fat, then just don't take Alli alongside. You have already cut the fat out yourself.
I hope this can clear up a few things for people. I still am endorsing this product over three years later. It has been a great aid in my eating habits and I have been able to maintain my weight with a lot more consistency than before I started with Alli.

Description of Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 60-Count Starter Pack
60 mg Capsules. FDA approved; non-prescription; weight loss aid. Helps you lose more weight than dieting alone. | ||||
| | ||||
 alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule. But it's more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat.  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. |  | |||

 Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories.  The main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can't absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them "treatment effects." These include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal.
