alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule. But it's more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat.
The alli program starts with your commitment to adopting healthy eating habits. It combines the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product with an individually tailored support plan to help you achieve gradual and healthy weight loss. When you take alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, you can lose 50% more weight than dieting alone. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds with diet alone, you can lose 15 pounds with the alli program. alli is safe - it works in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. It will not cause jitters, sleeplessness, or a racing heart. You can't just try alli - you have to commit to it. More information can be found at myalli.com, where you can also talk to alli users, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and fitness experts on the alli message board. Or talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian to help determine if you're ready.

Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories.
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." These 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.
- Don't use alli if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have had an organ transplant, or if you are taking cyclosporine.
- Do not take alli if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in alli capsules.
- Ask a doctor before using alli if you are taking warfarin.
- Do not take alli if you are not overweight.
- You can take up to three alli capsules per day, one with each meal containing fat.
- Take a multivitamin daily while taking alli capsules to ensure adequate absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta carotene.

CBS NEWS: All About Alli, The Weight Loss Pill. (WebMD) By now, you have probably seen the commercials or read the direct mail pieces about Alli. They ask if you are ready to commit to a weight loss plan that includes Alli, the over-the-counter version of the FDA-approved fat blocker formerly known as Xenical. FDA APPROVED: The Food and Drug Administration approved the drug product orlistat 60 mg capsule (trade name alli) on February 7, 2007, for over-the-counter marketing as a weight loss aid. Alli is to be used only in conjunction with a weight loss program that includes a reduced calorie diet, a low fat diet, and an exercise program. It is approved for use in adults 18 years and older. A multivitamin should be taken every day when alli is used as part of a weight loss program. Alli works by inhibiting some of the body's absorption of dietary fat. Taken at meal times, it works by blocking the absorption of about 25% of fat in the foods you eat.

I have discontinued use of this product because of the extreme change in bowel movement. If I wanted continual loose stools I could take a cheap laxitive. Big hipe poor product!!!

I had high hopes for these. I hoped the words "anal leakage" would be incentive to keep me eating well. The only problem is that you take the pill with your meal so if you are feeling like pizza, you can skip the pill and eat whatever you want with no side effects. Not to mention, I find it very hard to remember to take pills with me everywhere I might eat a meal. I would like them a lot more if they were a once daily pill.
Almost zero treatment effects! November 18, 2008

I've been using Alli pretty faithfully for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say, I've barely experienced any of the "treatment effects" that everyone is ranting about. I HAVE noticed looser stools and some fat floating in the toilet, but I haven't experienced uncontrollable gas or diarrhea. I attribute this to simply sticking with the program and staying away from large meals of fatty foods. Fear of horrible treatment effects HAS kept me accountable with how I eat, and I've already lost a few pounds. I plan on continual use of this product. It's great, you just have to use it correctly!

I have been using this for 3 weeks now. I was 280 pounds. I am 6'2" and have a flat stomach at 240 pounds. I have not checked my weight but the beginnings of a double chin that I had is now gone. My stomach is not as fat and my waits is down to 40 from 42-44. I am on the road and eat slot of fast food. No runny stool unless I get something really greasy. Have problems with constapation from overuse of laxitives about 10 years ago allong with not much walking due to work. Now regular like clockwork. Have had gas but not much more than normal. One odd effect with spicy greasy foods. Chili spices and currey spices are oil soluable. They are mixed with the excess fat you pass. It will give you a burning rear from the chili.
On those occasions I eat something like a ruben with fries or burger, the transit time is about 8 hours. I find myself more thirsty now drinking about a gallon of water a day. Probably due to the greater volume at the toilet.
One other thing is that my skin is not as oily. No anxiety problems. No wierd effects so far.
Overall I like it. No real problems. Hoping to shed a good amount of weight for Xmas.
