Alli Reviews
Alli is a weight loss supplement that has been widely advertised on television and in magazines. Some of the claims that the Alli manufacturers make are that this product “can help you lose 50% more weight than you would with diet and exercise alone.” This is only applicable if you are also following a sensible diet and exercise program while taking Alli but that is not something that should deter you from any supplement. The truth is supplements are meant to be just that, an aid and an addition to a healthier regimen. The only way to lose weight and to keep it off is to change the bad habits that facilitated your weight gain in the first place. We applaud Alli for realistically presenting this to the potential consumer of its product.
Our question is whether or not Alli can help you gain an edge on your weight loss. In general it has been shown that an individual will lose an average of 5-10 percent of their body weight in a year. If you weight 250lbs this statistic means you would be down to 225 within a year. If Alli could give you a 50% increase than you would lose that 25 and an additional 12.5. But that is a pretty large IF. Alli is made up of the ingredient Orlistat which is a prescription grade fat blocker. This ingredient works to cause your body from absorbing a portion of the fats you ingest each day. This keeps said fats from being stored on your frame and can also aid in eliminating already accrued fats.
Our main issue with this product is the adverse effects you could potentially experience. These effects include increased and sudden flatulence, oily anal discharge, loose stools or diarrhea, more frequent bowel movements and hard-to-control bowel movements. These are not typical side effects for a weight loss supplement and they could prove especially embarrassing due to their sporadic nature. This product would also be a terrible choice for anyone with gastrointestinal issues or problems absorbing foods. At this time we feel that the risks far outweigh the potential benefits. We do not recommend the use of Alli.

Worked For Me
5.0 of 5.0
I was on Alli for three months. I am a women who has struggled with my weight since before I can remember. I started at the weight of 154 and after four months on the pill I am at the weight of 139. I did not take Alli every single day nor did I do any type of workout but I did follow the food intake instructions.
I really believe Alli is a great product. I have tried every weight loss or diet suppliment under the sun and truly found this one to work!

Has worked well for me

I have been taking it along with Trim Spa for about a month. I am following the Weight Watchers meals plan and have been walking about 3-4 miles a day and I have lost almost 20 pounds in a month.
I only notice bowel issues if I cheat and eat something I shouldnt. You cant eat higher fat foods and think nothing is going to happen. If I stick to low fat foods, I have no problems.

Your an IDIOT!
5.0 of 5.0
OKAY APPERENTLY NO ONE DID THEIR HOME WORK.
ONE ALLI BLOCKS 25-30% OF THE FAT IN A MEAL THE YOU CONSUME.
TWO IF YOU EAT A MEAL WITH 30 GRAMS OF FAT WHILE TAKING ALLI, ALLI WILL BLOCK 5-10 GRAMS OF THAT FAT FROM BEING ABSURBED BY YOUR BODY.
THREE, THAT YELLOW OILY STUFF COMING OUT OF YOUR A$$ IS THE FAT THAT WAS NOT ABSURBED BY YOUR BODY, ARE YOU FOLLOWING ALONG.
FOUR, ALLI INSTRUCTIONS SAYS WITH MEALS TRY NOT TO EAT NO MORE THAN 15GRAMS OF FAT IN THAT MEAL TO AVOID SIDE EFFECTS.
ALL DIET PILLS CLAIM RESULTS WITH A BALANCE DIET AND EXERCISE. BUT ALLI IS THE ONLY FDA APPROVE DIET PILL THAT ARE TRUE TO THAT CLAIM. SERIOULY LADIES STOP BEING A IDIOT LOOKING FOR A MIRICLE DRUG TO LOOSE WEIGHT GET IN THE GYM AND WATCH WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.

If you follow the diet- record everything you eat, take the pill and work out, you will lose a LOT of weight. I lost almost 40lbs with the aid of alli. I had to stop taking it. I was taking it and having gallbladder issues. When I first went to the E.R my liver function was so off, they thought I had hepititis. It was never determined but after being off alli my liver function returned to normal. I have since read articles about alli and liver function. I have since gained back all my weight and I am considering taking it again- It worked that well.

theres no such thing as a miricle pill! with any weight loss plan u have to exercise and watch what u eat> now i’ve done the research and alli’s booklet tells u that if u take in more than 10grams of fat per meal ur gonna have those nasty side effects that everyones’ complaining about. dnt get me wrong id b the first one on the bus if someone had a miricle pill that i cld take and do nothing but sit and lose weight, but we all know its not gonna happen. i was always very thin until i had my daughter and now if i even look at the food i gain weight. ive tried EVERYTHING on the market and none of them work unless u put the work in to. now ive read all the reviews that everyone has posted and i just want to say that i know its hard, i stuggle everyday to, but u just have to keep up with it. dnt beat urself up if u skip a day and have something that ur not supposed to eat. get back on the horse and try again tomarrow. its not the end of the world! set long term goals(nothing works overnight)and just remember no ones perfect, we all have our ups and downs just keep at it ull get there it just takes time:)

Alli is a waste of money!
1.0 of 5.0
Alli did absolutely nothing to help me loose weight! I had been dieting for a few weeks prior to taking it and was losing a couple pounds a week. On Alli I lost the exact same weight and once I finished the starter pack and decided not to waste anymore money buying more, I continued to lose the same weight. My advice is don’t waste your money on diet pills, just eat low calories and exercise.

ok so ppl on here are saying alli doent work but notice in all of these comments they say they all have oily stuff coming out of there butt. that means u are eating way to much fat and not sticking to the program. if u ate a low fat diet like it tells u to it will work. its impossible for it not to work even if the pill is a load of crap a low fat diet by itself will make u lose weight.

IT WORKS...but there are side effects
2.0 of 5.0
YES! it will work. it HAS to work. like it says it was made to stop fat from even being used during digestion it just passes through. however, side effects are always part of something that works. depending on how long you use it and how much fatty food you try to consume on it, you will crap oily stuff. imagine how smoothe and slippery fat may be, now imagine it mixed in with crap because it didnt really get digested. dont snease too hard it might just slip out. honestly.

Alli Is Horrible!
1.0 of 5.0
Alli Seems Like The Perfect Weightloss Paln. In Actuality Once You Begin Taking It You Will Find It Is ANYTHING But! The First Day Or 2 Was Fine, Was Feeling Okay No Sudden Changes In B.M’s Which Is What I Was MOST Worried About. Day 3, Went To The Bathroom And When I Got Up The Entire Toilet Bowl Was Filled With This Oily Orange Liquid That Was Leaking From My Anus. I Thought Nothing Of It, Figured It Was Just A Minor Side Effect And Wouldn’t Last. Well It Did. For Almost 1 Month I Leaked Orange Oilly Fluid From My Anus Non-Stop. I Had To Wear An EXTRA Long Pad 24/7. It Was Terrible. Numerous Times I Had To Leave Work From Either Soiling My Clothes Or The Pure Smell Of It. Not To Mention Over The Month I Was Taking It I Gained 6 lbs. And No Change Was Made To My Daily Food Intake So Im Unsure Why I Gained 6lbs. On A Diet Pill. I Wouldn’t Suggest Alli To ANYONE EVER!

shortness of breath

I started ALLI yesterday. Took 1 pill for each meal. Had none of the awful side effects mentioned on the label. Last night I was really short of breath. That has NEVER happened to me before. I read on another blog that I might be allergic to ALLI. Such a shame.

Not Mentioned

I have been using Alli for a few years now. It has helped me to lose about 20 lbs. No one has mentioned though that Alli is really helpful to people with constipation problems. The oil that passes through actually helps to lubricate the intestines making it easier to go. Sorry for being so graphic but it is way safer than laxitives. And YES I have done the high fiber thing with no luck. This has really made my life better in that I dont feel heavy and backed up all the time. Yes I do have to be careful about what I eat or there will be a scary blow out. But for people like me I hope they NEVER stop making this as it has releived my life long bowel issues.

Alli makes me hopeful
4.0 of 5.0
I have been on Alli for a couple days…it keeps me mindful on what I eat and if you keep the fat intake to an avg of 15 grams per meal and drink alot of water you will be fine. I have been mildly gassy but I am sure that it will take time to go through the side effects as with any pill you take. Please watch what you eat, at least walk for 20-30 min a day minimum, and give it time. For those of you that think that it is your way to eat a Big Mac or a Whopper and get away with it and lose weight…get a clue…stop using excuses. It is obvious that you are not ready to commit. This is only an aid and not a magic pill. You have to change your lifestyle, your bad habits, and elimit ALL FRIED FOOD!

caused shortness of breath

Used Alli for a few days. Had some side effects (GI) mentioned here but the worst was this caused me to become short of breath. It was short episodes of choking sensation, and bronchospasm. I did not have this before using Alli, and it is better since stopping, but it has been slow to completely resolve.

It works when you do
4.0 of 5.0
I have been taking Alli since last June. I have lost 63 pounds by following the Alli plan and supplimenting with CLA and carb blocker. Right on the package it tells you that you have to make the commitment. Give me a break!!! You guys who say you ate whatever you wanted and Alli didn’t work? Duh!!!! There is no pill in the world that will take off weight for you if you don’t give something of yourself. Quit looking for the “EASY” way to loose weight. Even invasive surgery isn’t a given. I eat carefully. I exercise to the best of my ability and will continue to take Alli until I reach my goal weight. It works if you commit to lossing weight.

I’m scared of side effects(even though I eat healthy & exercise min. 5days/wk)so I do not take the pill three times a day(maybe reason for bad effects)The only time I had side effect was one day that I didn’t eat much (a cookie, some chex, coffee, & water)I think the coffee caused the side effect, could be the caffeine(I don’t drink coffee regularly & NEVER drink soda).If you get bad side effects it is because you are not watching your diet, you must not eat fatty foods. So far the pill is working good, help to clean out my system and makes me watch what I eat(fear of dreaded side effects)I am glad it’s not an energy supplement(I’m sure the effect would be horrendous)if you need motivation to eat healthy this is a great one since there are consequences, I hope to start dropping pounds ASAP.

Weight Watchers and Alli
4.0 of 5.0
I am on my third day using alli and I must say I have not expereienced any harsh treatment effects. It does help a great great great deal if you do start a low fat regiment 2 weeks prior to starting alli. However, I combine alli with the weight watchers program. For those of you that are concerned with your fat/calorie in take and are afraid of the treatment effects, I high suggest you pair alli with weight watchers if you need the support. I have been on weight watchers for almost two months now, which is what is making alli such as smooth process. But so far, everything if going well, and if anyone feels afraid or intimidated by taking alli alone, i suggest gaining support about your food choices through weight watchers meetings.

Alli defintely works I’ve been using it for two weeks and already have lost five pounds. Just don’t expect to just be able to eat whatever you want or however much you want because you will be sorry! When used with a low fat low calorie diet Alli is great and I would definetly recomend it.

ALLI Adverse Effects
1.0 of 5.0
I took ALLI for 5 days. Even with following the rules I had horrible bowel problems. I then started having terrible back and stomach pain. I stopped taking ALLI, but the back pain continued. My dr said at the very least I have inflamed my intestines. She told me that ALLI is BAD NEWS & dangerous. I’m still waiting on my blood work to come back to find out if it effected my gallbladder. I urge all of you to STOP TAKING IT! The FDA should never have approved such a horrible product.

I have been on Alli for about 2 weeks and so far so good! I’ve lost about 4 lbs with no major side effects. I haven’t really watched what I eat, but I am careful to drink PLENTY of water. It seems to keep any side effects at bay. I plan to contine use of this product and hope to see about 30 more pounds gone within the next few months!

Good Product For Those Willing to Work
4.0 of 5.0
This, like most other weight loss supplements, works. However, it doesn’t mean you can eat whatever you want and lose weight. It is simply a tool that you can use to help you, as long as you combine it with a healthy diet and exercise. My best friend is currently using it and he’s dropped around 30lbs so far over the course of 4 months or so, and he’s not the type to take it very seriously, so I can only imagine what one could do if they were 100% committed. Bottom line is it works, but you have to put in work as well to achieve the best results.

Used product for 1 month. Within first week I’ve noticed weight loos. First Friday night of use; Slice of Pizza, boy got the orange message. However, over time it seems that my body has adjusted. I hardly ever release orange and I have not noticed any more loosing of weight. The great thing is I’m stable. (Ps. Bad on hemorroids)

I see all kinds of people saying that this product does not work, when the reality is that they are not adhering to the plan as prescribed. If you expect to loose weight while you are still stuffing your face with anything you want, then NOTHING will work. There is no such thing as a diet pill that will let you lose weight without doing anything, and Alli never makes that claim either. I have been using it for 2 months and have lost 20 pounds so far along with the reduced calorie/fat diet and excersice. Neither have I experienced any of the dreadful treatment effects, because I have followed the plan’s instructions. Good luck to you all out there trying to find that miracle fix while you are still not willing to change your lifestyle!

Both my husband and I tried this product for 30 days. Neither one of us lost any weight. We had some oil when we went to the bathroom, but not like we thought we were going to experience. We go to the gym 3-4 days a week, but our eating habits are up & down. We tried Alli to help us lose weight when we couldn’t always adhere to a strict diet. We were very disappointed.

I decided to take Alli to help me stay on my diet. I figure with hell to pay if I cheat NOW THAT INCENTIVE. It works! Eat too much fat and you’ll be sorry. Stay within the guideline and you shouldn’t have any trouble. Once I feel I’ve reached the life change mode I’ll discontinue the use of Alli. I recommend it to those who want to be held accountable for what you eat.

Yes, oil does come out your rear. Don’t use unless it’s the weekend unless you are careful not to eat a high fat meal. The way I see it, all that oil is fat that packed somewhere on my body. It’s helps me see what I’ve been shoveling in my body at each meal and encourages me a bit to watch it. Yes, I’ll probably use it forever, but only on the weekend.

I came down with a cold
5.0 of 5.0
10 Aug 2010 - RosaV
I started this product yesterday morning.
I had one pill for breakfast and one pill for lunch and then I was going to take one for dinner, but I noticed I wasn’t feeling well. My knee bones were aching and all of a sudden i was feeling like I was coming down with a cold. My throat started to hurt and my nose was congested. Today, I woke up feeling still sick, but without knee aches. I decided to take the pill with my breakfast this morning in hopes that its not the pill and just a bug I’ve catched. If, my knees start to hurt again, then I know its the pill. Ive been lucky and I have not experienced any horror bm. Everything good thus far.
I want to know if anyone has also experience this before?
I also did take my vitimins like I was suppose to.
I just dont understand if my immune system dropped or what.
Thanks guys!!
