Alli

Alli is the industry’s first FDA approved over the counter weight loss medication. With Alli, they talk about lifestyle changes, diet and exercise, and losing up to 50% more weight than diet and exercise alone. With Alli¸ they say that you will lose more weight by blocking a certain percentage of your fat intake, and with Alli¸ you will finally be able to change your life, not just your diet. So how does Alli actually work?

Breakdown

Alli has one ingredient known as Orlistat. Now Orlistat has been used in prescription Xenical in about double the dosage. The FDA approval board was rather split on the approval of Alli. However, even with half the prescription dosage, they believe it to be effective enough. It does block fat. However, blocking fat and weight loss don’t necessarily go hand in hand. Many test subjects followed a no fat or low fat diet, because if you don’t do that with Alli, you get extreme side effects such as sudden and severe diarrhea for example, causing a need for adult diapers. But interestingly enough, these people on average lost about 5-10% of their weight over a year. You should be losing that in a month with diet and exercise, especially if clinically obese! This definitely doesn’t excuse the associated side effects.

Our Final Conclusion

We would not recommend using Alli. It does not help you to lose weight, and it does not help you to achieve any other better benefits. With Alli, it would seem that you are actually slowing weight loss results, and it is more likely to cause side effects than anything else. So we would definitely recommend looking into other options.
