Group: I am overweight or obese

Has anyone tryed Alli??

mikem243 Posts: 5 Joined: 2007/06/22	2007/06/23, 07:15 PM I was just wondering if anyone has tryed Alli. And if you have, how has it worked for you? It says if you were to loose 10 lbs normal that with Alli you would loose about 15 lbs.

This is just an over-the-counter orlistat pill - it blocks fat absorption in your intestinal tract. You are also advised to exercise and eat right, which on its own will lead to weight loss, so save your 60+ dollars and stick around here and learn how to eat for your goals and start walking and lifting weights and you are sure to see results in time. -------------- While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us. - Ben Franklin

NCNative Posts: 4 Joined: 2006/12/15	2007/10/04, 03:32 PM I have tried it as part of an overall plan to exercise more and eat less. The only side effects I've had were after a particularly cheesy Italian meal -- it was a sign I had ingested too much fat. I have lost three pounds since then, but I've done that before with similar lifestyle changes.

We all have a choice. You can decide which type of person you want to be. I have always chosen to be in the first group.
