if you have how did it work for you? im thinking of starting it, but i dont want to spend a lot of money on something thats not going to work. any advice or tips would be wonderful, thanks!!
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.0 -
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.0

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.
Well said!0 -
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.0 -
One of my aunts and uncles took this for a while. In their words, "We have 2 bathrooms, one of us in each, not able to move without ruining another pair of drawers. Worst diet of my life." This is a direct quote from him.0

stop! I'm crying, my ribs hurt...no need for abs workout tonight.....wow! Top notch, top notch! How 'bout a Fresca?!?0 -
Don't use it. Unless you want to fart out orange oily stuff in front of everyone. It is terrible!!! I have found that just by following the myfitness pal calories and exercising helps so much more than any pill, potion or otherwise.0

My mother-in-law to be took it for a time and it is HORRIBLE. I would tell you to STAY AWAY from it!0 -
Any diet that recommends adult diapers is a keeper. The outline of a Depends looks spectacular under a J Crew pencil skirt.0
