    If you stick to the alli rules, which is dont eat a high fat diet (more than 15g per meal) then you wont get any of the nasty side effects people talk about. It could help you lose an extra one pound per two you usually lose.
    Ive just started and I havent had any side effects and am losing weight.

    I used alli before for 2 months and the slightest bit of fat you eat and your running to the bathroom. And your lucky if you make it in time. Can't eat any cheese at all while taking it or peanut butter, butter or even I can't believe its not butter etc etc. Don't even try to eat beef or chicken with the skin on it. Even low fat salad dressings will ruin your day.

    Risk of pooping myself in public? or eating a healthy diet?.....hhmmmm? Decisions decisions.

    Seriously though, I guess it works for some people but you have to eat a low fat diet to avoid the side effects so why not try lowering your fat consumption slightly first and see what happens weight wise before spending your money.

    Why put a chemical into your body when you can get results by eating right and exercising and taking your time. Expecting instant results by using weight loss gimmicks will give you results but rarely lasting ones.

    I dont mean for it to be a end all cure all for my weight loss, I know and understand the concept of eating right and working hard to obtain goals. I have read the articles on the drug and know the nasty side effects, just wondering if any of you have tried it and of your results, or lack there of. If the things they say about the drug are true, and it can help a person loose an extra pound to every three to five they loose on their own, thats a huge boost. And thats what I need, a solid push in the right direction.

    Sounds like the best thing about it is making sure you adhere to an extremely low-fat diet to avoid the..... um..... unpleasant side effect.

    I for one am happy to see yet another post about anal leakage today. I can't get enough of it. Yay - greasy orange oil dripping out your butt! Sounds fantastic!! I don't know why everyone doesn't try it.

    Even their ads say you'll maybe lose an extra pound - likely that grease dripping out your butt.

    I think the reason it works is that people are so scared to eat much for risk of pooping themselves! And if they do eat a bit bad, they diarrhea it out!

    Why is adhering to an "extremely low-fat diet" a good thing? Your body needs fat for several reasons (proper hormone regulation among them). Ever hear of EFA (Essential Fatty Acids)? The recommendations are usually around 0.3 - 0.4g fat per pound of bodyweight. Also, dietary fat =/= body fat.

    Alli is not beneficial in the long term. It doesn't help teach proper eating habits and it isn't sustainable. Once you stop taking it because you get tired of orange grease staining your underwear and running down your leg, you'll be no better off than when you started.

    I wasn't advocating for an extremely low-fat diet.... Just saying that that might be the only way to avoid the side effect.

    Not only do you get greasy oily discharge from your butt as a side effect, there is also a possibility of damaging your gall bladder from it.
