Alli Diet Pill: Some Call It A Nasty Side Effect, I Call It Motivation
It has been a week since deciding to test out the Alli diet pill so I am now better able to give you the scoop (which rhymes with poop) on the Alli Program. I have found that there is a huge benefit to taking the Alli weight loss pill in addition to eating a low fat, low calorie diet and exercising…it’s called MOTIVATION.
Cheapest Alli Price on the Web
Alli Weight Loss Pills
Orlistat 60mg Capsules
60-Count Starter Pack
The motivation that the Alli diet pill offers is that if you cheat on your low fat diet even in the slightest bit you will suffer the wrath of the Alli diet pill’s side effects. I know, you are saying… what? What kind of motivation is that?
Now My Alli Pill Side Effects
Let me list the side effects, which Alli lovingly calls it’s “treatment effects”, using the verbiage found in the Alli Companion Guide. This guide comes along with the Alli diet pill starter pack. “Treatment effects may include gas with oily spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that may be hard to control.” Are you going to tell me that this is not motivation to follow your diet to the letter? You can’t ask for better motivation than that.
You can take it from me that cheating on your diet while using the Alli diet pill just isn’t worth the consequences. Sure, eating nachos seemed like a good idea at the time, later on…not so much. Let me again say, frequent stools THAT MAY BE HARD TO CONTROL! The Alli side effects are no fun. I don’t care what your idea of fun is, the side effects do not fall into the fun category. I’ll leave it at that.
Can’t take my word for it? If you are going to use the Alli diet pill maybe you should cheat once, just to get an idea of what you are dealing with here. I think once is all it will take. Once you have cheated and experienced the Alli side effects, you will find yourself being very strict when it comes to the amount of fat that you consume.
On To The Alli Diet Pill Weight Loss Results
So far I would have to say that I’m pretty pleased with the results I am seeing with the Alli diet pill. In just five days of using Alli I was down 3 pounds. It does seem that the claims made by Alli are ringing true. They claim that Alli will double the amount of weight you will lose while exercising and eating a low fat diet.
For myself, a normal weight loss amount with diet and exercise alone would have been right around a pound and a half for a five day period. Instead? Three. I’m no arithmetician but the Alli diet pill has seemed to live up to it’s claims so far. They have lived up to both the weight loss claims and also what they claim will happen to you if you do not follow a low fat diet.

Hi Ken,
I am so glad I found your website. I agree totally with you. alli does
keep my overeating under control. I also find it a motivational tool. Think before you eat. Too much neg. feedback going around. I know it is working for me. I especially love that I don’t get jittery like with all other pills I’ve taken. It has my vote!

Hi
I have lost 3 inches on my waistline and cellulite on my thighs since starting alli three weeks ago. I do stay away from high fat foods now as a result. I exercise regularly as I did prior to using the product, but was not able to lose inches on my waist previously. It worked for me.
Sophie
09/09/2007 at 12:20 pm
what’s new with that product he? Eating a low fat, low calorie diet and exercising, of course you will loose weight. That’s what I hate with those program. You don’t need more than doing that, I’t sure you’re gonna loose weight. The day they will put a pill on the market saying that you will loose weight what ever you eat, let me know.

I just started yesterday on the Alli Diet plan. I am excited about losing at least 20-25 pounds. I am 3 1/2 ” tall and I weigh 160 pounds. I have thyroid disease and my metabolism is very low. So I have gained a lot of weight since the thyroid problem I have. I also am weak in disciplining myself to the wrong food types. I think this may be my answer since there are consequences if I stray from the diet. My concern is what happens when you reach your goal in the weight lose and you stop taking the Alli diet pill? Is there a chance of colon cancer or other problems with taking the fat out of your diet for a long period of time?

I’ve been using Alli for about 10 days. I’m conducting a personal test with it.
First phase is taking Alli with no change in diet and exercise. Second will be take it with increased exercise. Third is to take it with diet. Fourth is to take it with exercise and diet.
I haven’t changed diet much and have lost about 2 to 4 pounds with few unpleasant side effects. Maybe a little gas and an increased volume of stool, I haven’t had discomfort or embarrassing sprints to the toilet. I’m surprised because I expected, it either not to work or to have significant side effects.
Overall, I’m pleased and my next step is Phase 2 – exercise and Alli.

alli made by GlaxoSmithKline is the first FDA approved otc diet pill…it is a fat blocker pill that helps your body loses weight by limiting the amount of dietary fat the fat that is blocked by Alli diet pill is simply passed through the body naturally

Im scared to use alli i have been phentermine for about 7 months its ok but i feel i need a boost and maybe i need to switch to something else. I will let everyone know how it works if i do decide to really do it but im scared!!!!

I have been on Alli for about 3 months now, lost 17 lbs (215 to 198) I have not exercised at all to this point, but plan to start running this year. I can guarantee the treatment effects are motivation to stay away from the fatty foods. I have only had one “accident” that caught me off guard, it ain’t pretty
But, if you stay even close to the diet, the “treatment effects” don’t exist. BBQ ribs where worth it

i tried the alli diet and have cut back on fat intake but prob not as much as i should.. and i haven’t had too bad of side effects. mainly just gas sometimes.. i really like the alli diet pill so far.. and i have been on it for about 3 wks and plan to continue with it.

gas you have to expect Jessica until you’re eating much lower fat consumption. Atleast what works for me.

hello, I’m amatuer at all this diet stuff. Right now im actually watching The E! story on diet pills and Alli actually caught my eye. I love to eat, however, i could over do it at times. Im only a couple pounds over weight and i dont want to wait til its too late to lose the weight. I have read everyone’s comments and they didnt change my mind. I’m actually really excited about this.. the side effects are kind of iffy but im willing to take a chance. I think i’ll try anything once. I hope to deliver some positive feedback in the future.

I am currently taking Alli and just read a disturbing article on Fox News Website. It says that the ingredient used in Alli has caused precancerous pollups on the colons of mice. They feel that Alli was released without doing enough research on the effects. Everyone should read that article before continuing Alli. Just google Fox News Alli article.

Hello…
I just started using Alli on Saturday ( 4/12/2008, under Dr.’s advice) and am curious what is exactly considered fatty foods..? I ate chicken and noddles and did get gas with the oily tinge and more softer stools, I do not eat like one should due to working for the state and am on the road all day, so, It’s usually stopping and grabbin a burger and coke on my way to next client…so, please someone maybe give me some advice on different foods to take with less fat. I should also note I’m on Synthroid for my thyroid, and that is I believe alot of my weight as well..
I went from weighing 125 to 155… 5′4, not wanting to lose much, just get back down to about 120-125lbs.
Thanks to all who respond respectfully!
Hugs
Tina

Tina I can tell you this, I’m no doctor but if you;re on Alli and you eat a burger no matter how lean, you are going to have an explosive situation.
Anything with more than 10% calories from fat have given me problems especially in the beginning.
Being on the road all day is no excuse. You gotta pack your food then and bring it with you. We’re not going to get thin by eating fast food or popping pills although these have done great for me.
good luck and let us know how it does for you.

I have been on ALLI for 4 months I have only lost 13 pounds. Now let me tell you there are not always “treatment effects” regardless of how much fat you consume in a meal. I have not hd a treatment effect in 2 months and there are days I cheat by consuming more fat than I am suppose to. I would have thought and my doctor thought that having IBS would make things worse not so. After this bottle I am not buying anymore. The problem is that it on occasion will get rid of the greasy fat but not fat from things such as cake.

I’ve been on ALLI for 4 months and have excersied & ate a low fat diet; I’ve lost 35 lbs and have 15 more to go. ALLI treatment effects have been my motivating factor to avoid fatty foods, however, I have cheated and the affects are minimal for me. You have to be commited to ALLI & the program to have the success I’ve had.

what I dont get about these pills is how to take them because the directions are take 1 tablet with fat foods but what if your foods aren’t high in fat? what do you do then and if you dont take it because most of your foods are not high in fact then what? like i dont quite understand it someone please explain because i am really excited bout these pills however im puzzled about it as well
Julie
06/15/2008 at 12:11 am
Blanca, alli is easy to take if you don’t eat any fat don’t take alli. For example, i eat special K with no fat milk and coffee with non fat creamer for breakfast; i don’t take alli at this meal. I do take alli for lunch and dinner since it tougher to avoid fat at these meals. I’ve lost a total of 38 lbs now and had my cholestoral re-checked this week and in 6 months it dropped from 257 to 176. I couldn’t be happier taking alli. Good Luck!

Hi! I lost 7 pounds in two weeks and have had no clench the butt cheeks and run for the toilet type sumptoms! I have had looser stools, but nothing to complain about, with Alli you do think about what you are putting into your mouth, you begin to make better choices for yourself. I am happy with Alli, I have found however, that you need to watch taking any regular medications with it, space it out, because alli will interfere with absorption of your medications. AND PLEASE! Take your vitamin every nite before bed!!! This is inportant!
and like the commercial says….get up get up get up..feel better!!!! take those morning walks, they make a great start to your day!!

I have recently started taking Alli as most of you have. You are correct when you say you start to watch what you eat. I made homemade pizza the other day and thought oh no..you don’t get to eat that. I am excited about the weight loss some of you have reported. I am eager to do the same. I have tried most everything including the excercise the low fat to the no fat diets. All of the fad diets, only to find the weight coming back and then some. Is there a site that has some recipes that would be good to make for those of us who are challenged? I get confused when reading the labels in the grocery store as I am sure some of you do.
The side effects are there if you have too much fat intake. I have not sprinted to the restroom in an airport or anything but I know there is a possibility if I don’t watch my fat intake.
Thanks for any comments.

I had heard of Alli Diet Pill but not of its side effects. I did not read about its side effects so I was not ready for what happened next. Shocked! Oh well, now I know what everyone is talking about, and it’s TRUE! Since I have been on it after that one experience and no other to follow. However, I feel as if I need to use the bathroom all day but nothing happens and when I do go, I still feel as if I have to go again. I’m staying on it for awhile and see how much weight I will lose, it is doing something because I do not have an appetite as much.
Jessica
08/26/2008 at 4:30 pm
I’ve been on alli for about a week now and have minimal side effects. I’m just very careful to follow the diet and have no more than 10grams of fat and I’ve already seen great results. I’m very excited about this product.
But boy I miss mexican food and chili cheese fries.
But like this article says, you don’t dare break the diet out of fear of consequences. Its accidental but genius.

In the past 2 years I have been able to take off 40 pounds. I want to take off another 15-20 pounds but have been struggling for the past 8 months. Maybe due to the fact I am menapausal. I have started alli just this evening. I do work out and watch my food intake very carefully. HOWEVER! Being a recovering addict I have a weakness for choc!!! In fact I just had a huge hand full of M & M’s! Now I’m afraid to leave the house for fear of the side effects! Well lesson learned here! next weekend I plan on a trip with my family for my 50th birthday and now I’m afraid to have my cake and eat it too :O What do I do? HELP! On a positive note I am looking forward to a positive reaction with the alli product.

@Connie – So far I have been taking Alli for 3 weeks. The 1st week I did experience some of the loose stool and some stomach cramps. The 2nd week I was still cramping a liitle but the loose stool had stopped. Now on my 3rd week I have no cramps no loose stool and I do eat a high cal. diet some days. I even tryed taking 2 pills at one time to make it work more effectively but I still have the same results. Sometimes I might not have a movement at all. Not sure what I might be doing wrong but this pill is not working for me

With the GI signs you describe you likely are still ingesting too much fat.
You have lost no weight in 3 weeks?

I have to admit I don’t agree with all the negative hype that this pill is getting. The box and its instructions clearly tell a potential user that their are side effects called “treatment effects” should you choose to over indulge in fatty foods. Hello, how hard is it to understand the concept of; if you eat the fatty stuff, you’re gonna have to poo.
I agree with the idea that the “treatment effects” are certainly a motivational tool to keep you from eating more fatty foods. I’ve only been taking Alli for about a week. And, shall I say, lesson learned about treatment effect. I started off doing great, low fat breakfast, lunch and dinner…but I slipped one night….ate a humungous meatball sub…God it was delicious…However, at about 6 a.m. the following morning, I was off to the bathroom….and yeah, you could definately tell I’d eaten too much fat…yuck…So, I’m back on track. Definately gonna have to avoid the giant meatball subs…probably the reason I’m overweight to being with…but that’s another story…
Bought a bike and keeping my fingers crossed on the actual pounds lossed.

I just finished reading all the comments on Alli and would like to tell you abouth my experience. I started taking Alli as soon as it came on the market in June 2007. I started losing 2 lbs a week, every week for several months and then 1 to 1 1/2 lbs a week. I had very little in the way of side effects, just a little in the beginning until I got used to following a low fat diet. By the time Thanksgiving 2007 rolled around I had lost 30 lbs. I have kept it off and I must say this has been nothing but a positive experience for me. A friend of mine just gave me a bottle because they decided they did not want to use Alli. I started taking it again today and hope to knock off aniother 15 or 20 lbs. I am 59 years old and if I can do this I will weight what I did when I was 45 years old. Yeah, that will be wonderful.
By the way I went back to my doctor for my yearly checkup last month and he was so happy that I had dropped the weight. He had no problems with me taking Alli.

Hi i am about to embark on the alli plan. I am so ready to get healthy and maybe if I am lucky smaller size in jeans. I am not looking for a miracle drug. Just something to help me. I need motivation and something to help calm the stress eatings. My Dad is going through cancer bone,liver and lung. Not saying that is my reason for being so over weight. But I ahave gained extra since the dx.
I hope alli works for me as it has for you all. Any last minute recommendations before I go and buy my box of help. Thanks ever so much. If you like you can email me back.

I have started using alli in addition to weight watchers. I have been on weight watchers since May of this year and I had been doing well but I find old habbits starting to creep back in and I am lacking the self discipline to stay on track. I started Alli about 10 days ago and am using this product to keep myself honest. It may seem like a strange thing but it works for me. I have lost 6.6 pounds. It is very logical to say that all you need is diet and exercise and that is true but food addictions and compulsive behavior always overcome even the best of intentions.

My daughter and I are starting Alli today together. Due to some medications we have been taking we have both found our metabolisms seem to have slowed – and we are tired, etc. I’ve gained 15 lbs in the last year and she’s gained about 25. She’s getting married in February, and both of us would like to take off at least 10 – 15 lbs and neither of us is having any luck. I find the possible side effects a good motivator – because in addition to a 50 minute train ride in the morning, I have to walk about 10 blocks to my office. The idea of having an attack while on my way to or from work is pretty good motivation to behave. I already walk the equivalent of two miles per day to and from work, plus walk 3 miles 3 nights per week with a friend, and I still have been gaining this weight. Time to get a little help. Am hoping this works.

I’ve been on alli for about 2 weeks now and I’m having reverse effects from the pill. i have lost 6.5lbs , I’m on a low calorie and low fat diet (prob 600 cal & 15 grams of fat daily) and i find that i’m NOT using the bathroom regular—Why is this and what can i do ? should i buy laxitives or stool softners?

I started Ali 4 days ago I have been experiencing headaches is that common? Other then that everything has been ok.
Thanks,

Mitch
01/22/2009 at 7:55 pm
Sue, headaches? No.
I have been on Alli for about 18 months, never had any headaches. Common “Effects” all deal with your backside
Gas, runny bowel movements, grease/oil. If you are bad and eat too much fat, it can sneak up on you too.
Especially in the beginning, when the feel the urge, don’t hesitate, don’t think to yourself, “I can hold it until I finish…..” After a month or so you will get use to it.
Tracy
01/24/2009 at 9:37 am
I started using alli 5 days ago…I was stupid and didnt weigh myself first (no scale) but I will tell you a few things…I ate out with my daughter and physically looked at taco meat dripping with grease and consoled myself that just a few tablespoons wouldnt hurt. Boy was I wrong! It was on my lunch hour from work, and I spent the next hour and a half making multiple trips to the restroom. So, lesson learned
But almost more than anything else, I feel better! I feel more healthy, more in control, and actually feel positive about being on a diet.
Roz
01/28/2009 at 7:02 pm
Comment to Allison on the low cal diet: 600 calories per day is not healthy for anyone, and you may not be having “any effects” because you are following a diet too low in calories. Talk to your doctor or a nutritionist to sort this out!
rox
02/07/2009 at 6:06 pm
i have been taking alli for 4 days and have lost 2 lbs. i have had no side effects and am overall very happy with it
i have a question though, can you eat a fatty meal with no side effects if you skip a dose or will you still have the effect from the dose earlier that day?
Tracy
02/11/2009 at 7:24 pm

02/12/2009 at 1:33 pm
sue- you may not be eating enough carbs or did you stop drinking caffeine when you started alli? those are just some little reasons why you may be experiencing headache
Mitch
02/14/2009 at 10:54 am
Rox – I believe once you are on the plan for awhile, regardless of whether you take a pill with the “fatty” meal or not, you will have some side effects regardless, they may not be as bad. I have a “fatty” meal once in a while and just deal with the side effects.
Tracy – I am sure you will be fine with the program.
Bren
02/14/2009 at 11:12 pm
If you reduce the amount of Alli you take will that reduce the side affects? For example, only take 2 pills a day rather than 3? Also, would it still work if you only take it on weekends, maybe just not work as well and would you still have the side affects during the week?

For those of you having side effects like hair loss, headaches, constipation. Make sure you are taking a multi vitamin at night. VERY IMPORTANT! Also, make sure you are drinking enough water.

I have been on Alli for about 3 weeks–I agree the “treatment effects” are a good motivator–but mine have not been “uncontrolable”. I got the same effects when I did the Atkins diet and ate the sugar free carmels–I pretty much stick to the diet, mostly just the reduced amount of food I eat since my problem wasn’t so much eating bad food–just eating to much. I have lost 9 lbs. If you are looking for pill that will allow you to eat anything and loose or maintain your weight, this isn’t it. If you want to change your lifestyle and be healthy, go for it!

I’ve been using alli for 5 days and am having uncontrollable “effects” – I’m eating very low fat meals – salad, veg, teeny bit of fish and meat – no sauces – I make sure all my meals have lss than 5g of fat in them but I can’t control the effects. Should I stop the tablets?

I have been on Ali for a week now. I already lost 14 lbs by myself and now I am ready for a helping hand. I would like to lose 60lbs. It has been okay this week, I had 3 days of adjusting and my sluggish digestive system did not really want to work. On day 4 I had a couple bouts of “treatment” but they were managable and have been alright since then. I have discovered for weight loss and I lost 20lbs last year too that sometimes more is less. I say that because I was strugglng along on 1200 calories and not losing an ounce – then I decided to switch up a little bit and I started to lose weight ….. why?
well it seems you need food in order for your body to metabolise (my own words and findings LOL), eat too little and things wont work as well. Hence my “more is less” Eat smaller more frequesnt meals and you will put less weight on. I am hoping with this in mind and Alli by my side I can continue toward meeting my goal.

hi,i,ve been on alli for 2weeks now and have lost 6lbs….i,m pretty happy with that because i believe a steady weight loss is a permanent one…i have 2stone to lose.i have had hypothyroid for 3 years and have gone from a size 12-18,very depressing.i would like to know about how and when to take my thyroxine,i,m on 175mcg and always take them in the morning.i understand alli can interfer with the absorbtion,so i take my thyroxine 2 hours b4 my breakfast…would it be better to take it in the evening with my multivitamin?can anyone advise??thanks

Thyroid medication (for hypothyroid conditions) should be taken in the morning – same time every day – and @ an hour before eating.

I started taking Alli for the first time in Jan. 2009. I was on it for about 1 month and the results were absolutely amazing. I was down about 21 lbs. in 4 weeks time. I developed dysentary at the end of that time frame and had to go to the hospital. A colonoscopy was performed and a polyp was found in my colon. I am a smoker and have had a poor diet all along so there is no telling where the polyp came from.
I began taking Alli again about 2 weeks ago and am having good results again. I have experienced treatment effects but nothing off putting. I am heavy enough that the side effects are minimal to the health problems being heavy causes.
Best wishes to you all and good luck with the weight loss. -P

I bought Alli about a month ago and still skeptical. I have a stroke about 2yrs ago ( I believe from taking diet pills from thailand or GNC) I look good though, from size 8 to 3.
But after reading all this comment about alli, I’m so tempted.
Will any anyone advice if I should take it?

I was wanting to know that if I am on a diet of low fat foods and a lot of fruits an vegtables, will the alli pill still work and help me lose weight?

ive just started the ali diet today .
I am not obese just wanting to loose abit of puppy fat.
I weight 9 stone after losing a stone and just want to drop to 8 which is perfect for my height.
I am planning to only use the pill one a day with a main meal do you think it it will still work??

It depends on your intake the other meals. I use a pill for lunch and dinner for the last 2 years. My breakfast is oatmeal everyday, so I assumed it isn’t high in fat. I will take one with a snack too, if it is high in fat.
I buy my Alli at Sam’s Club at a discount too, which helps reduce cost.

I am not taking alli but after I consult my doctor my mother and I are planning to start Alli. The only problem is I’m still in school. I probably wouldn’t need to take a pill before breakfast because my meal is very small or on somedays I don’t eat breakfast. I would be able to take one before dinner but lunch time is the thing that would be an issue. The thing is I can’t take a pill at school, it’s against the rules, with serious consequences if your cought taking any substance. I mean i could take it discretely in the bathroom. So I guess my real question is, how long before a meal should you take the pill, right before or could you get away with a few hours before. And if not will it still work If I just take Alli before dinner?

Yeah just take it in the bathroom the odds are you will never get caugth.
One key thing that helps with losing weight is breackfast ALWAYS have it every morning !
It kick starts your motabolism (shit i cant spell )
You can take the ali pill a hour after before or during.

yeah i never take one for breackfast i only have bran flakes.I have noticed that the effects im getting are minimal even thougth i have cheated with a choclate cake lol
The only thing i get is the oily spots when i take a number 2 lol but the poos are normal like the same as b4 i started taking the tablets.
I think this may be due to the fact i only eat one main meal a day and dont snack just the odd treat
How much have you lost so far mitch
