Thread: Alli - the new weight loss pill

I was one of the lucky chosen to have the opportunity to be part of the Alli First Team. I have been on Alli for 9 weeks now, and have lost 20 lbs, and gone from a size 13/14 to a 7/8. If anyone out there has any questions or comments, I'd be happy to address them. No, I do not get any compensation from Glaxo. I just want to answer any questions out there.

Who, I have so many questions. The main one I am concerned about is the fat soluble vitamins. They are suppose to be washed out of the system along with all the fat you eat. Did the info you got on it say anything about vitamins?

How are the side effects? I've heard horror stories of things like uncontrollable diarrhea and anal leakage.

You are supposed to take a multivitamin at bedtime, because of the fat soluble vitamins. They give you so much support, and so much information. They really do not leave anything out.

As far as the treatment effects, the way they make it sound in the media, they can be awful. But, in reality, You have total control over whether or not you have them. If you eat more fat than the suggested amount, (which is very reasonable), you know you may get some treatment effect. I experienced some effects twice in the first few weeks. Both times were the day after I binged out on pizza, but neither time was uncontrollable or embarassing.

I felt it was a positive thing, a reminder that I control what I put inside my body. And believe me, it is nicer to have that fat on the outside of you, than sitting on your hips or belly.
