    Fat does not make you fat, calories do. If you're concerned with how much fat is in your diet, look for lower fat alternatives. If you want to lose weight, watch your calories and/or exercise. Pills are not necessary, especially ones that make you spend more money on underwear.

    ^This. I don't like alli, because it suggestest that *fat* is the problem. Fat is not the problem - eating too many total calories is. Alli doesn't help with overall calorie control or learning to eat a reasonable number of calories. You could gain weight even while taking alli if you do not control your overall calorie consumption. Why take something like this when it really offers nothing? You can lose weight without it (controlled eating, exercising) the same way that you lose weight with it (controlled eating, exercising). In fact, just throw out some of the fat that you would normally be eating (egg yolk, fat from meat, nuts, etc.) and you're essentially doing the same thing as Alli - you're just not making it go through your stomach first.

    Wrong. Running your butt off to get the toilet before the brown doom of shame happens is what really makes you lose weight. It's extreme HITT training!

    This makes me think of "bridesmaids"

    Hmmmm, I guess it does somewhat force you to do some cardio. I take it back, everyone should be taking Alli b/c it forces you go get off your butt unless you want to poop yourself. Might be the extra push some people need to get moving. LOL

    Stock up on underwear if you do.

    ^LMAO.

    Why, why in God's name would someone do that to themselves?!

    Because the consequences of cheating make you stick to the diet?

    You sir, Jeff92se, have made me laugh out loud about 3 or 4 times in this one discussion!!!!! I especially like "poop, there it is. shaka laka, shaka laka"!!!!!! Tag Team would be ever so proud...

    So, the concensus seems to be that Ali is no friend to anyone. I vote for cutting down on fat and overall calories and doing cardio that doesn't involve fear of humiliation as your motivation.

    Best of luck!

    If you take them, don't fart!

    I can vouch for this, I have had to throw out several pairs of underwear. When I did it at a car wash with my father-in-law was the final straw and decided it wasn't for me. He still laughs at me and it has been 3 years.
