Alli

[RobinFabulous]

Has anyone used Alli to lose weight? I'm seriously considering buying it and would love to get some real life opinions...

I bought the starter kit. I didn't have any major side effects but no weight loss either.

I'm going to move this over to the W.I.S.H. Forum. I'm sure that you'll get plenty of valuable input there.

I'm curious as well. I heard very bad things about side effects.......

I used it for two days. I definately didn't use it long enough to see any weight loss results but I DID experience the side effects. GROSS! I had a greasy orange discharge coming from my backside. It leaked all over my underwear and they had to be thrown away. Now, this MAY have been because I'd eaten fast food the day before but I didn't take any more pills to find out.

But that being said, it does do what it says it's going to. The booklet did say that the discharge would/could happen. It just grossed me out. Maybe if you don't eat really greasy foods this won't happen.

I like Alli, and I've never experienced the side effects. The trick is to watch your fat intake. If you eat something that is really fatty, then don't take a pill. For me, I can eat up to about 25-30 grams of fat with an Alli pill without the side effects. But then again, I have crohn's disease that tends to constipation. TMI!!!

Experiment until you find out how much you can safely eat.

I started it on Jan 20th by Feb 20th I lost 15lbs. I slacked off a bit and have lost only 5lbs. I did have a few side effects, nothing messy just had to go really bad. Work out everynight 30min.

I am going to go back to the way i was doing it inthe beginning. Eat clean low fat.

I pre-pkg all our food and the kids eat clean too.
