    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. :)

    I understand what you are saying. You are so right. I guess since I was always eating pastas rice and bread, I always had a bad reaction after I ate them. and when i cut them out, all of the reactions stopped and i was fine. I ate alot of plain tuna. and cereal. :) thanks!

    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

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

    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alli/WT00030

    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.

    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.

    I am so glad I read everyone's comments about this product, as I had wondered about it's efficacy. Since I am a substitute teacher, I don't think Alli would be a good choice for me as I could be stuck in the classroom with nowhere to go! I will cross it off my list of aids to try.

    Work is blocking most, but if you Google image search "alli oily", you get some stained undies.
