Alli? Has anyone used this?

[Michelle T]

I would love to hear the experience of anyone here who has used Alli. The stuff for cutting down on fat absorption.

Did it actually help you lose weight? I've read about some pretty gross side effects, did you have any problems?

Any other comments about Alli? And yes, I do know that the BEST way to cut down on fat absorption is to not eat the fat to begin with, but I'm curious about Alli as an extra help.

Hi Michelle,

I wanted to lose the 10 extra lbs of junk in my trunk -- so I tried Alli w/ exercise and eating right.

My daily menu since June 1:

2-3 cups coffee w/ a splash of cream
1 large bowl of raisin bran cereal w/ skim milk for breakfast
big salad for lunch
1 pitcher of iced tea sweetened w/ Spenda -- every afternoon
small salad and/or a bite of whatever we're having for dinner
no dessert :(

I have lost 10 lbs since June 1 and I attribute some of it to the Alli.

The urban legends about the side effects are true. The fat goes right through you. The bloating and gas is terrible! Sorry if that TMI :)

I only take 1 pill per day.

Does that help you?
