Question about new pills ?
Question:
Answers:
Alli is not new. It is a prescription that just got approved for over the counter sales which caused a media frenzy over the "new" pill. Alli works by blocking some of the fat absorption in the intestine. If you take Alli and exceed the recommended level of fat per meal, you may have gas that has oil in it or you may have an extremely urgent, extremely crampy oily messy bowel movment..So make sure you always know where the bathroom is if you forgot to count your fat calories. The fine print states that you can loose 50% more using alli than by dieting alone. Then is goes on to say that means 15 pounds rather than 10 pounds lost over a 6 month period.
I would suggest doing some math here. Does the cost of using Alli make up for a less than one pound extra weight loss over the course of 6 months? Alli may help some people eat less fat because of the way it can cause embarassing gastro intestinal side effects if you cheat on your diet.
I am sure it works for some people.But I have opted to walk a few more miles per day to lose that extra weight and pocketed my money instead of buying pills.
in the ALLI studies the average user using alli lost 7 pounds in a year. thats not worth having oily poop drip down your leg all day.
