Weight Loss Stories
By Cindy (Madison, AL)
When I started taking alli, I was 235 lbs and in less than 5 months, I lost over 35 lbs. Besides taking alli, I did exercise and monitor what I ate, but by no means was I being very strict. I would try to exercise for at least 30 minutes about 2-3 times a week and do stretches in the morning before work. I still indulged in the foods I loved on the weekends (like pizza & chicken wings), but during the weekdays, I would try to limit my calorie intake to 1500-2000 calories a day. Yes, if I hadn’t taken alli, I still would have lost weight, but it would not have been as much.
Remember, you have to burn 3,500 calories to lose 1.0-lb (or eat 3,500 calories to gain 1.0-lb), and your body will burn between 2,000-2,500 calories a day depending on your age, weight, height, and sex. Therefore, if you watch your calorie intake and do some form of exercise (anything is better than nothing), then you will lose weight.
The benefit from taking alli is that it will help reduce the amount of calories your body absorbs even more by blocking a percentage of the fat you consume, and therefore helping you lose even more weight then you would with just diet and exercise alone. However, if you are still binge eating and consuming more than 2,500+ calories a day, alli will not make up for that… it is not a miracle drug. It is intended for people who are on a diet (or at least watching what they eat) and want help to lose a little more weight.
The side-affects from taking alli vary from person to person and just like any other drug, it is not for everybody. For me, the only side-affect I encountered were the “treatment affects” or oily stools. Yes, this kind of side effect is very unpleasant and sometimes inconvenient, but it is also controllable and is a clear indication that the product is working, which is more than I can say for other weight loss pills I’ve tried.
If you eat a bunch of fatty & greasy foods, then you will have more oils (or fat) in your stool because there was more fat for alli to block (demonstrating that it is working). Instead of getting upset and blaming the drug, take it as a lesson that you need to become more disciplined and consider this the consequence for cheating on your diet. Maybe it will help you realize just how bad some of the foods you eat are for you; it was definitely a wake-up call for me.
I’m going to keep using alli, watch my calorie in-take, & exercise (some) and hopefully I will lose another 35-lbs!

I am over weight and I decided to make a complete life change. I enrolled in the gym and I started to see a dietitian. The weight began to come off, but I felt like I needed an extra boost. I did my research online and I spoke to my doctor about Alli, I was nervous because of one of the possible side effects is diarrhea, but that only happens when you eat food loaded with fat! I decided to give it a shot before Alli I was losing about 2-3lbs a week, but with Alli I am losing between 5-7lbs a week! I know it might not sound like alot, but the difference is really amazing for me! But people have to realize you have to take control dont expect to eat whatever you want and lose more weight just because you take Alli before your meal, its not like that the better you eat and the more you exercise the more Alli will help you! Trying to lose weight is a slow go, but when you change your entire lifestyle the rewards will last a lifetime.
