    I lost weight when I was on it.....only because I was SO scared of the side effects, I ate virtually ZERO fat. :wink:

    The side effects sound so scary, I'd be afraid to try it. More than 15 grams, and you basically can't control your stools? Yuck. There's more than 15 grams of fat in 2 Tbsp of peanut butter. It sounds like all it does is force you to keep a low fat diet by embarrassing you if you don't. I also think it's geared towards those who have more to lose--based on your profile, it might not be right for you anyway.

    Me too.

    Waste of money if you ask me. I reached my goal on here without it.

    i've actually been taking alli for about a month now, and have had no side effects. i like it because it keeps me motivated to keep my calories and fat intake under control. i got the starter pack that comes with all the literature that explains the side effects and what causes them. i'm able to eat up to 15 grams of fat per meal when i take it. if i know i'm gonna have more fat(like on thanksgiving for example) i don't take it with that meal. i've always started diets, and then when i didn't lose enough right away, i would quit, or i would constantly cheat. i feel like if i cheat now, i'll be held accountable. i don't know, maybe it is a waste of money...but it's helping me stick with it and that's good enough for now.

    That was sort of my feelings on it. I would be more likely to pay attention and keep to it to avoid side effects. Did it cause anyone any of the side effects, your fault or not?
