For the first time, the FDA has approved a drug that can actually help you lose weight. Unlike many other “weight-loss” pills that are loaded with caffeine, ginseng, and some other “natural” herbs, Alli actually prevents a certain amount of fat from being absorbed by your body. According to early reports, Alli is a great tool to help you lose weight but will not work if you fail to have a proper exercise and diet plan to supplement it.

Don’t Poop Your Pants

Here’s the catch with Alli:

the main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can’t absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them “treatment effects”. They include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal.

Many users of Alli encourage other would-be users to take an extra pair of clothes to work or even wear diapers so that embarrassing moments can be avoided. The main thing to remember with this drug is that you should not use it if you are not committed to weight loss. You can easily forget about eating pizza, fries, burgers, KFC, and much more. The effects of this pill will force you to do two things:

1. Stop using it
2. Change your eating habits

Do you really need it?

This really is a tough question to answer because this pill does require a serious amount of effort on your part. I’m about 179 pounds and at 5′10″, I’m not really overweight so it would not make sense for me to use it since I would probably lose too much weight or not much at all. This is a great pill for those who have tried dieting and exercising and they are not seeing realistic results that were to be expected. The most important thing to remember is an effective exercise/diet plan will undoubtedly help anyone out. Whether you take a pill or not is up to you, however, a pill isn’t necessary to lose weight unless you really need the extra help.
