Alli Weight Loss Power

How amazing would it be if you could eat whatever you wanted and you would still lose weight? Alli is supposed to help the fat you consume pass straight through your body.  Theoretically this should help you to reach your goal weight faster.

Alli is FDA approved and they are pretty proud of it.  Alli works by attaching to the enzymes in your body that help break down fat.  Because Alli is attached to these enzymes, they do not break down the fat and it passes through your body instead of being absorbed.  Alli is a fairly well known weight loss aid and is advertised fairly heavily.

Alli Ingredient Quality

The main ingredient in Alli is orlistat. This ingredient is used to be available only in prescription diet pills.  Alli uses half the amount that is included in the prescription diet pill and claims to lead to similar results.

Orlisat has been studied and found to help dieters lose about an extra 5 to 7 pounds more than you would with diet and exercise after a year of use.  That’s not much.

Alli claims that for every two pounds you lose, it will help you to lose one more. Since they have half the orlistat of the prescription product it would make sense that you could lose about 2 to 4 pounds more than you would with diet and exercise after a year. So unless you lose just 6 to 12 pounds in a year, Alli is not going to do much for you.

One of the nice things about Alli is that the official website gives information on dieting and exercise which can help you to have a better idea of what you need to do.

Alli Company Reputation

Many people have used Alli. They have become a well-known company because of their marketing plan. Unfortunately, I could not see that a guarantee is offered with its purchase.

Will Alli Provide Long-Term Results?

Most likely you will have a difficult time keeping the weight off when you use Alli.  Many people who try Alli are initially pleased with their results but then wish they had invested more in keeping the weight off.

Possible Alli Side Effects

The side effects with Alli are just plain unpleasant. You should always carry an extra pair of pants with you because it has been shown to cause problems like gas with an oily discharge, diarrhea, more frequent bowel movements, and hard to control bowel movements.

Overall Value

Alli is FDA approved, but all this really means for you is that you end up paying more. The pro with Alli is that it does keep your body from digesting some fat, but this is also the source of possibly the biggest con. You eat the fat and Alli blocks your body from digesting about 25% of it, so what happens to that 25%? Many people will experience what are called “oily discharges,” basically you will be pooping your pants. Alli only contains one active ingredients and its sole purpose is to block fat, so don’t expect it to help with hunger, energy or your metabolism.
