Has anyone on here ever tried Alli? I have heard mixed reviews about it and just wondering if anyone has ever had any success?

Is that the diet pill that causes you to poop out any fat that you eat? I heard its horrible and if your eating make sure your near a toilet at all times!
I wouldn't waste money if I was you, you need fats in your diet.0 -
Yup, I tried it. Didn't do a thing for me except drain my wallet - luckily, only 25 bucks.0

Side effects include anal leakage. Save your money and just learn to eat well and move more.0

My mom and my best friend did. . . and had to wear a pad because of the anal leakage.0

A friend was losing weight for her wedding and took those. We were all set for the beach, and she grabbed a handful of peanuts and walked out the door popping the handful in her mouth. We didn't make it to the beach. She didn't make it to the bathroom. No thanks!0

Doesn't it cause anal leakage?0

Don't waste your money. Overhyped expensive junk.0

I did for a short time. I stopped, waiting a few days, ate something fatty, and was in the Walmart bathroom for an hour. lol. Sorry TMI. It's bad and unpredictable and so not worth it!0

I take some before a hike to leave a pooh trail for the search hounds just in case I get lost in the woods.
Other than that, Alli is of little use.0 -
Only experience I have with it was my doc asking if I wanted to try it, and then her giving me reasons I probably shouldn't.
Basically it stops you from absorbing excess fat in your diet and has, as some have said, rather unpleasant side effects.
Just as effective, with less expense and none of the side effects, is to work on lowering your intake of unhealthy fats.0 -
2 weeks in Egypt will have the same effect AND you get to take some happy snaps.0

Wow! That is all.0

I tried 2 bottles. I had no side ffects with it, I guess because I followed directions best I could. But the most important thing is, both times I just wasted 30 bucks because it didnt help at all. nothing. nada. I was looking for at least two pounds from one bottle but neither time did I even lose an ounce. Funny when I left it alone completely after my second bottle, I started to lose. Thats weird.0

And yet they still market it as the solution of the century.
Listen, find exercise you like. Find healthy meals and supplements you like.
Give exercise a month and log how great you feel after each workout. Try to eat as much "real" food as possible and don't buy food marketed as "diet" food b/c that's typically loaded with more slop than food. Write down how you feel now, when you are hopeful, and what you hope to accomplish. When it gets hard, which it will, go back to how you felt when you started and don't let yourself down.
Keep it simple, eat "real" food, move, and remember, Rome wasn't built in a day!0 -
Wait... it also causes gas with oily spotting.0
-
why I dont know, but I think those rave reviews must be fake.0
-
i bought it a year ago and never used it. glad I didn't ... i'd much rather do it by watching calories0
