I bought Alli a month a go and when I read all the reviews it makes me feel like throwing them away, I bought the starter pack for 35 dollars and I read all the reviews therea are about Alli there are good ones and bad ones, the treatment effects is what Im worried about, I do not want to feel those nasty oily liquids, but at the same time the good ones tell that u are supposed to eat 15g of fat per meal if not you will get those effects, and I have planned to start but when th time comes I just don’t do it because I work and the bathroom is far from the place, I do not want to carry some extra pants with me, like two months ago I started dieting witout the pill and I have lost 18 yes 18 pounds, I eat almost everything exept fried foods, chips, cookies, and all kinds of candies, i do eat once biweekly, I try to be eating every two hours and not eating from 11 p.m. and after, I do exercise like four times a week and I try to loose 1000 calories a day because if you loose 3500 calories it’s equal to a pound, so I do check all the calories, i count how many I eat and I exercise to keep loosing weight. But one last thing, DON’T STARVE eat five times a day but less on each meal than usual just to keep your metabolism working all day and exercise, drink lots of water and that will do… need more just e-mail me.

I like this site, Cal. I have been curious about these supplements since all the healthy eating and exercise has done nothing for me. I appreciate your candor. I see a pattern among those who claim that side effects are the fault of the user. No one should be blamed for having side effects. I am laughing at the “treatment effects” term. This is not necessarily because the person is eating high fat foods. I can have this problem, explosive bowels, even when I eat a salad of all veggies and low fat dressing. I have a sensitive stomach and do not eat fried, cheesey or creamy foods, to name a few. So, I appreceiate your review, because this will not work for me. Obviously, my body is already doing the job of Alli without paying a ridiculous fee. I’ve read many other reviews and find that there are caffeine effects in many of the other products. I avoid caffeine because it causes me to have higher blood pressure and is also a diuretic. Why on earth doesn’t Alli use the term ‘diuretic’ ? This makes the product even less credible to me, like they are trying to hide it, or are embarrassed by it. My friend, a diabetic was on a form of this, and it is miserable when you are away from home and don’t know the true contents of the meal at a restaurant. She was stuck in a public restroom for a few hours. Luckily, I was a good enough friend to walk two miles to the hotel and back with a change of clothes. Wow, I won’t be trying this product. Are there any effective products that don’t use diuretics or caffeine? Thanks

I have been taking Alli and have had only two “treatment effects” which were not pleasant at all, but I will say it was my own fault for going over the allowed fat grams per meal. What I like about Alli is it does keep me from overreating, knowing there could be an unpleasant trip to the bathroom. I will say I thought my weight would come off a bit faster and I do exercise as well. I don’t really think I’m losing weight any faster than with just diet and exercise alone but it is teaching me to eat properly and if you follow the guidelines, it’s very effective for many people. It is expensive, I got a buy one, get one free deal so I just went for it. Otherwise, I think it’s a lot of money and if you don’t follow the plan 100% you could find yourself in an embarrassing situation. I have 2 more months left so I will continue to take it and maybe at the end of that I will have a handle on my eating.

hi I have been using the alli pill for 4 months now, i like it alot, and I have used just about every product out there, there is only one side effect and that is the treatment effects, which they do not hide, they talk about it extensively so you know what you are getting into, if you need help they are quick to answer your questions on the phone or online, they are very helpful. and you DO have to eat right to see results because they do not claim to be an actual weight loss pill but rather an weight loss aid for people who are already CORRECTLY dieting and exercising. so if you were going to lose 10lbs alone, you would lose 15lbs if you take the pill in addition to what you are doing. and if you are eating well, staying away from high fat foods and consuming high fiber, high protein, low sat fat foods you won’t even see these treatment effects at all. in the 4 months that I have taking alli, i have only experience treatment effects one time. i eat six times a day and eat pretty much anything, except for burgers and fried foods. i even eat pizza every once in awhile. i am not sitting around eating salads all day. I do eat more fruit and fiber rich foods than i used to. but if your trying to lose weight you shouldn’t be eating those foods anyway, so you shouldn’t experience those effects, I have never had to call off work, run to the bathroom, change my underwear or wear dark pants. I think they have to say that because of the few people they know will continue to eat hi-fat foods while taking an alli pill and will be somewhere public and will be embarassed and want to sue. so they have to cover all the possibilities, they are dealing with the public. Also you will not lose weight fast with alli, it was meant to help people lose wight safely. I know I saound like a spokesperson, but I liked this product alot and I think it was getting misrepresented on here. Yes the treatment effects do look like pizza grease, the smelly orangy kind of grease, but don’t eat greasy foods and the grease won’t come back out. it does work, it does exactly what they promote BLOCK FAT, you won’t even absorb it, it comes right back out.

Hey Daphne, wow! That’s a lot of weight to want to lose. I wouldn’t depend just on a diet pill for that.

How fast do you see results when using Alli? I would like to know because I would like to lose up to 20 to 30 pounds in the next 73 days. I am 61inches and 136lbs. If anyone has any feedback please let me know. Thanx

I’ve already commented on the Hoodia article, but I felt like telling you that after buying Alli (comforted that it was a safe, comfortable way to augment my diet and exercise junk, I was hesitant to even start the stuff.

Asking around, I learned that the typical side effects were similar to pizza grease in your office chair.

I’ll pass.
Hope html works on these comments…
