Alli: 15g fat per meal?

Hello everyone! I just have a quick question about the weight loss aid Alli. Now before I get into it, I've read other threads on here regarding Alli, and instead of offering judgement-free helpful advice, I see some people just mock those who use/have used this pill, with snide remarks. So please, if you're going to do so then refrain from replying to this. I would greatly appreciate advice from people who have actually tried Alli and have seen (or haven't seen) results from it.

I have been using MFP for a while now, and still have not reached my goal weight of 118 lbs. I've managed to lose weight on my own up till now, and have been trying to get past my plateau for a long time with no results. I've increased my cardio and strength training, drink LOTS of water, and have made extra sure that I've stayed within my calorie limit of 1200 per day (I'm 5'1" 127lbs). But so far, the lack of results has been making me feel exhausted and hopeless, almost to the point of thinking, "Why am I still trying?". I'm within the 'healthy' range, but would ultimately be happy with losing at least 9 more lbs, which is still considered healthy, just on the less chubby side.

So I've done some research and have decided to try Alli with my diet and exercise regime since it's approved by the FDA. Mind you, I know these supplements are meant for those who are obese/moderately obese and I am JUST under that range, but I am wondering if taking Alli really will work with a diet of 15g of fat per meal, as recommended with the program?

I didn't have any idea how many carbs/proteins/fats I should be consuming each day with each meal, but the informative booklets provided by the starter kit has given me a better idea, since I've already been logging my meals on MFP. I realize now that I have been going over my fats and sometimes my carbs, however still staying under my 1200 cal limit. Now I know I need to watch the amounts of fat I eat.

So instead of taking Alli with every meal, I'm taking it only with the meals that ARE higher in fats, to cut out 1/3 of the fats digested. But even with consuming the maximum of 15g of fat per meal 39g per day, would Alli really still help with that? 15g isn't that much to begin with, yet that's what they recommend.

It says in the Guide: "If you're already following a very low-fat diet, you probably won't benefit from using the Alli program."

So I assume that by 'very low-fat' they mean a diet where you're consuming little to no fats at all?

So far I haven't experienced much of the side effects Alli mentions will occur, but at the same time I've been staying at the 15g of fat like I'm supposed to. So all these other horrid stories I've heard from people on here, saying they've pooped their pants, have yellow leakage running down their leg, blowing up the toilet, etc... Sounds to me like they probably weren't as closely following the program as they should have been. It seems as long as you're within your fat limit, you'll limit those effects as well.

So basically I'd just like to know if I SHOULD take an Alli capsule with each meal of 15g of fat, or to just take one when I eat over that amount? Which is usually lunch or dinner. Otherwise if Alli proves to be ineffective, then I'll just stop the program all together.
