Losing Weight and Feeling Great

Posts Tagged ‘alli weight loss’

It was about this time last year that the weight-loss drug Alli was introduced, with much fanfare.  Finally, a diet pill that was over-the-counter but approved by the FDA.  And it lets a person lose 50% more weight than they normally would on the same diet.
What wasn’t to love?

Can you say “side effects”?

Now you can go to the official Alli website (My Alli) and they do warn you, in politically correct terms, that this is not a diet pill to be taken lightly.  That is can, and often does, have some embarrassing side effects.  I liked the part about wearing dark clothes while getting used to Alli.

Anyhow, there’s been some time that’s passed, and Alli is now mainstream.  And it’s still not for the uninformed.  Or people who have no willpower.  Unless, of course, you don’t mind wearing Depends.

But seriously, can taking Alli weight loss pills help or is it just another gimmick?

If you can stick to the Alli diet plan, this weight loss pill can help you lose more weight.  It works by partially blocking the absorption of fat, thereby lowering your calorie intake. So if you’re motivated to go on a weight loss plan and stick with it, Alli can be a way to lose the weight you were going to lose anyway, but just faster.

Alli has partnered with eDiets.com
to create a home food delivery program that works with the Alli weight loss pills.  So that’s an option, if you want to really manage your food and limit any side effects.

The Alli diet pills aren’t for everyone; the side effects can be, um, explosive.  But they can be for some people, who are committed to losing weight.
