Has anyone tried ALLI??

I've tried it...it blocks about 25% of the fat that you eat. But you have to be VERY careful with the amount of fat that you consume with each meal or you'll have what the program calls "treatment effects" These consist of oily discharge that is sometimes hard to control. What it really is, is the excess fat that your body isn't absorbing. I have a friend who is on it right now that wears a panyliner constantly because of this problem. She has had some success but I don't know that it is worth it.

And there are side affects to every drug.....and do not take it if you have Gall bladder issues or do not have one.

dd:noway:

read the side effects, it warns you to always have extra pants and underwear in case of anal leakage. I don't believe in any of the pills and gimmicks. The basics of weight loss are restrict your calories, eat healthy foods and exercise. What are healthy foods? I say natural foods, fruits, veggies, nuts, grains and meats. But you have to eat the right things at the right amount. You need some fat and you need some cards. Even if this pill does "block" fat absorption, it's not helping you learn to eat better and you will either have to take it forever, or you will gain the weight back when you stop. You need to learn healthy eating habits, not try to find a way to cheat around it. They are all a waste of money. Besides, it hasn't been around long enough to know what the long term effects are, look at other diet pills int he past, like Phen Phen.

I've tried it, yes it works, yes there are some side effects, but, if you eat right while you are on it you won't get those side effects. Taking ALLi or not is up to each individual person!
Good Luck! :flowerforyou:

THERE ARE NO MIRICLE PILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried it when it was available by prescription only -- and the side effects just aren't worth it to me. I also find that I don't really have a high fat diet so the weight loss was pretty minimal, again not worth it.
For what its worth, I think if you focus on your diet and exercise and really use this site and keep track of every little morsal you eat and exercise (even if you dont feel like it, make a deal with yourself to do SOMETHING/ANYTHING for 15-20 minutes and then if you still feel terrible you can quit )- but I find that if I start, I meet my goal of 60 minutes.

Good luck to you - regardless of what you decide.

Well, when I started taking Alli, instead of watching what I ate, I ate worse!
I ate all kinds of junk thinking I could get away with it.
I didn't gain any weight though!

This past week, when I started eating 1200 calories a day and taking my Alli with the meals that have fat in it, (Again, no more than 3 a day to avoid side effects!) and drinking 8 cups of water a day, I lost 4.4 pounds!

This is a miracle for me.

Hey has anyone tried Alli? Is was thinking of giving it a try, but need I more info.
If you have, please let me know and how it has worked for you and the side effects
of course.... Thanks to all and GOOD LUCK!

Toodaloo!
Kymwho

I know there's a lot of hype about teas but if you drink 1 -2 cups a day of tea (wulong/green), warm or hot, it'll get things moving for you and you'll even have time to make it to the bathroom!

When you stop taking them, what is going to happen. Change of diet and exercising is the real process.

Yes- Xenadrine RFA-1 was my "miracle pill" and boy, did it work! I dropped almost 60 Ibs in 6 or 7 months.

Unfortunately, when you depend on your "miracle pill" and then you don't have it anymore, you gain it all back- I'm living proof!

A lifestyle change is your only fool-proof method of losing weight. Diets are temporary- lifestyle changes are permanent.
