Alli Weight Loss

If you decide to use it, ya' better buy extra pants.

I have used it and had moderate success. BUT to be honest, I believe my success was skewed b/c I was so fearful of the "treatment affects" that I was eating a very low fat and low calorie diet. So was it the diet or the pills? I can't say for sure. But if nothing else, it was a motivator to stick to my calories/fat!

and FYI, I did not suffer any accidents or "effects", but again, I was very very careful about what I ate.

This was sometime last year and I remember losing an average of 3-4 lbs a week for a couple months. But it was very hard to stick to such a restrictive fat intake, at least for me.

I don't think crapping your pants is worth it when you can lose weight easily by just eating less and moving more.

Thanks for that....My keyboard and monitor are now covered in the water that shot out through my nose....Awesome.

haha. the name must describe the sound you make when you have to go.. "alllllliiiiiii, allllliiiii oxen free to the poop!"

Good thing you weren't on Alli too. You would have had a much bigger mess on your hands. (Or in your pants?)

If you want to poo your pants and make a greasy mess of yourself, go for it. Otherwise, exercise and eat a healthy diet and you'll lose weight.

It's like magic.

yea. I've used it before. its definitely stressful because it makes sure you eat exactly what u should. once you mess up...you'll know. I have taken a laxative so everything gets out of my system and ill be back on alli tmo. Ive used alot of different things but the best way is working out and eating right. no pill can replace that. On alli your meals should be the size of a deck of cards. and u should have about 5 very tiny meals a day. -___-. stay away from greasy food, breads pastas,all the stuff you should be staying away from anyway...its makes u super gassy and you fart out oil...lol

Super gassy and farting out oil?? Where do I sign up???!!!

Oh, How I LOVE poop humor!!! Keep em coming, (or going..?)

Actually alli has nothing to do with breads/pastas - it changes how your body processes fats, not carbs.

How does Alli work?
Alli promotes weight loss by decreasing absorption of fat by the intestines, which reduces the number of calories you absorb.

Lipase, an enzyme found in the digestive tract, helps break down dietary fat into smaller components, so it can be used or stored for energy. Alli works by disabling lipase, which prevents the enzyme from breaking down the fat while it's in your digestive tract. The undigested fat continues through the intestines and is eliminated through bowel movements.

Alli is taken with fat-containing meals, up to three times a day. Because of how Alli works, it's recommended that you eat no more than 15 grams of fat with each meal. Eating greater amounts of fat can cause unwanted effects, such as urgent bowel movements, diarrhea and gas with oily spotting.

hahaha. honestly. its not really a good idea for a long term diet. but i think its good so you know what your doing. If you eat pasta and your embarrassed because u oiled yourself. you prob wont eat pasta again for a long time. it helped me manage my portions. I know portioning is a huge problem for me so sometimes i need to shake myself, especially with this college food.!.

I think you loose more weight from the training, than the pill itself. If you eat PERFECTLY, you will not get gassy or oily. That's what it taught me to do.

LMAO!!! I had to shut my door at my office cuz I am laughing so damn hard at "oiling yourself"....man o man!!

Umm.. was it tough to get the oily poop stains out of your pants? 'Cause I got salad dressing on my favorite pants last week and that was a b**** to get out.

So basically Alli has the same effect on the body that having your gall bladder removed does. Go to the gall bladder thread from earlier today and you will see how badly it really does suck to have your body processing foods like that.
