Alli

The main push of Alli is the fact that they are the only FDA approved over the counter diet pill. They have been petitioning the FDA to classify obesity as an official disease, which would basically eliminate any possible competition, because companies could no longer actually claim their products to promote weight loss or fight obesity. It uses a smaller amount of Orlistat, also found in prescription Xenical, and they claim that with the right lifestyle changes, it can help you lose up to 50% more weight.

Price:$69.99

Unfortunately, the only thing Alli does is block fat, and many users have complained that they have to follow a no fat diet, which can also eliminate essential good fats such as omega fatty acids. You need those fats to keep up a healthy weight loss program and ultimately to lose significant amounts of weight. Common side effects include flatulence, oily anal discharge, frequent bowel movements, severe diarrhea to the point of defecating in your pants, and hard to control bowel movements. Most users however have reported that they did not actually lose significant amounts of weight.

Alli is the only FDA approved over the counter weight loss product, because they use a small portion of a prescription medication that has only been tested in the prescription amount and didn’t even promote a high amount of weight loss then. The FDA board was essentially split in half when judging this product, bringing it down to one judge that realistically could’ve gone either way and should’ve gone the other way. The results speak for themselves, Alli doesn’t work.
