      In, for leakage.

      If you start taking Alli, please get a camera and provide us with "after shots"

      Nope. And I suggest you don't either. Just eat real food at a calorie deficit and you'll be fine.

      When it comes to losing weight, nothing that you have to spend a lot of money on will work in the long run.

      Why do you want to do a fad diet? All that is required to lose weight is to eat what you always eat just less of it. If you plug your statistics into MFP, accurately log all calories eaten and burned, and stay within a certain calorie amount per you weight loss goals, you will lose weight.

      It's a lifestyle change not a "diet" in the sense that you need to deprive yourself.

      Go to Amazon.com and check out some of the reviews about Alli. You will quickly become disenchanted with that idea.

      Do not do it. A few years ago, I took the prescription form and it was terrible. The "leakage" part was miserable - also, I lost ONE POUND in 7 weeks.
      I've lost more just eating right and working out over 8 months than I did when I took that pill

      I bought it, read the pamphlet it comes with, and returned it.

      It "evacuates" half the fat you eat.. so if you're out on the town one night and decide to have a cheat day and eat something fatty.. yeah, you're gonna have that fat leaking out your backside in a few hours and have to change your underwear..

      the directions actually RECOMMEND you use underwear liners in case of leakage :sick: which was enough for me to run away

      I did and it was definitely helping. However, I'm not good with remembering to take pills. I have a very hard time with medications so I eventually just stopped using the Ali pills because I was losing track of when I last took them. I would definitely like to try it again. I never had any bad side affects from it.

      I tried it once after a friend had limited success. I didn't have the leakage (thank God), but I did have horrendous abdominal pains and (after several tests) my doctor told me it was probably the Ali and not to take it. Stopped it, no more stomach problems. I didn't lose that much (more) weight so for me it wasn't worth the price or the pain.

      You will leak orange fat oil out yo butt. For reals.
      It's gross. You will ruin all your underwear.
      Eat at a modest deficit, get some cardio, and strength training in.

      I took Alli for a while....
      Well, Alli works. the molecule sticks to the fat and takes it out of your body without being digested. That way you will recieve a higher kcal defizit -> you lose more weight
      if you eat more than 30g of fat after you took one though, you WILL get into trouble. Alli keeps sticking to all that
      fat and THAT causes diarrhea. BAD DIARRHEA!!! :sick:
      So if you want to take it make sure, that your meal does not have more than 30g of fat!

      Another point is that some vitamines need fat to be useable for the body. Alli blocks the fat though. So make sure that your body still needs everything it needs.
      For myself I decided to not take Alli again this time. The risk of diarrhea is just too big for me! :noway:

      Okay, okay, in all seriousness OP, here's what Alli does: It essentially binds the fat that you eat together, making your body incapable of absorbing it, and forces it straight through your body.

      Now, completely aside from the explosive fun that will inevitably result from this, here's the thing, the big secret. Ready?

      Not all fat is bad. Some is very, very good for you.

      The body NEEDS those good fats.

      Eating fat will not MAKE you fat. (Only a surplus of calories can make you do that.)

      So all Alli does, besides the aforementioned undue doo-doo difficulties, is rob your body of fats --bad AND good. Not cool. And as far as weight loss? Since fat in and of itself does not cause weight gain, it is ridiculous to think that the absence of fat will cause weight loss.

      Oh god. That sounds horrible. Why any person would try this is beyond me.

      I can tell you what works for sure - CALORIE DEFICIT. Avoid gimmicks, fads, shortcuts, cleanses, fast, overly restrictive diets....they do not work for the long run. If you want to lose the weight and keep it off - calorie deficit is the way to go.

      YAY! Finally a new year thread where someone wants greasy oil dripping out their butt. I was getting bored with the cleanses and raspberry ketones. Although dripping butt juices is kind of a cleanse I suppose.

      Alli is a negative reinforcement drug. It makes you eat a low fat diet by punishing you when you don't. Eat low fat and you lose weight (same was as you would if you weren't taking the pills), but eat fat and you get punished with anal leakage. Mmmm anal leakage. Uncontrolable, at that!

      Save the money from the pills and replacement underwear, read the excellent how-to threads on here and get the same effect without the risk of crapping yourself in public.
