    Tried it for 6 months - no major weight loss just a lot of worry about the side effects mentioned in the previous posts. Supposed quick and easy fixes don't work . A little effort and staying on your eating plan will be a lot healthier and promote better eating habits with out the expense.

    tried Alli a few years back. HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE. tried MFP at the beginning of this year. lost 50+ pounds, chatted with lots of fantastic people, accomplished my goal in less than half the time i thought it would take.

    you can get with this, or you can get with that. the choice is yours.

    In for the poop jokes!
    Ditto!! I thought of trying it before, but my bf (now fiance) swears off anything of the kind. Glad I didn't now!

    I would encourage you to do some research about fats. they are not bad for you! And, it is strange there is a pill to clean them out of you.

    Bottom line is that fats don't make you fat.... really! Too many carbs and calories are the culprit.

    Try to get away from processed foods and grains especially.

    Eat clean and natural.

    Best of Luck, you can find your way !! :smile:

    They didn't work for me... regardless of even considering whether or not the side effects are worth it... they just didn't work.

    It is listening to your body's need. It WILL tell you when to stop eating and when it is hungry.
    Reasonable eating and maintaining within your calories/macros

    There, go forth my child.

    I tried them a couple years ago on my MD recommendation to jump start my weight loss and so i could hopefully see some results quicker than on my own.... I followed the directions and menu EXACTLY.... I started a low fat diet 4-7 days before and didn't have a lot of fatty foods at all. I lost 50 lbs in six months and only once had a side effect but it wasn't unmanagable. I hate pills so i stopped taking them and lost another 25 on my own by eating the same type of foods and exercise as i did on the pills. Good luck in whatever you choose.

    alli user: these alli pills are great, why not try them?

    non-user: errr no I don't want to crap my pants

    alli user: but if you follow the diet right and stay away from fatty foods, you won't crap your pants

    non-user: okay, so why don't you just follow the diet right stay away from fatty foods and leave out taking pills that might make you crap yourself? If you can stick to the diet while taking them, you can stick to it while not taking them, surely? And as fat is an essential nutrient that contains fat soluble vitamins, surely a balanced diet where you eat more fat but fewer carbs (to stay within your calories) would be healthier? If you can stick to a diet on the pills you can stick to a calorie controlled balanced diet?

    alli user: well the fear of crapping my pants is really a really good motivator for not cheating on the diet

    non-user: hmm... well maybe I can help with that? Every time you go over your calories by more than 100 I can kick you in the shins really hard.....?

    Alli pills? They're an endless source of jokes and lulz. Didn't realize anyone actually took them in earnest.

    Anyways I was just feeling very discouraged at myself for falling off the diet train YET AGAIN. Grrrr and the Halloween candy didn't help!

    Make the train less difficult to fall from.

    Eat what you want in moderation, track your calories, maintain a proper caloric deficit. Problem solved.

    Plus, you don't have to start looking at expensive pills that make you crap yourself.
