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.

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.

Hello Ken:
I am one of the producers for the food show referenced above. Thanks very much for your offer, but we are working on a piece regarding women’s health so I was trying to reach “Erin” that posted to your blog. Could you put me in contact with her?
thanks!
Hi Candace, this is Erin. Ken is my husband and we write together on this blog. You can also reach me at erin at erinsgifts dot com or fill out the form on that page.
Once you email me I can also give you my phone number.
thx
Well Alli has work for me great. I have noticed that when I take vitamins I poop but is not like I am going to poop on my self lol. But the vitamins do help!
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.
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.
It increases you weight loss…and it does work. But yea won’t that be the day. We’ll just have to keep dreaming..lol
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!!!!
where did you get your phentermine at? i have ordered on line and got my across seas but it isn’t what it used to be. i found that it’s more like sugar pills now. it used to help me in the past,
thanks,
I’m sure this is because you got it on-line. The only reliable source for medication is a pharmacy. I think it would be great if we could all just order stuff on-line, but there are too many people out there making an easy buck. It very well could be a sugar pill.
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 
Just heard about Alli the other day. Reading all these comments,I don’t know whether to try it or not…afraid of the side effects. Will keep on watching & reading your comments and then decide
Ive been taking them for a few days and I’m actually rather disappointed…I haven’t had any “treatment effects” so I tested it out I ate tacos, pepperoni pizza, a large movie theater popcorn with a twix, Olive Garden salad, breadsticks, and chicken parmaseana with spagetti, IHop spinach and mushroom olmlet add ham with hashbrowns and pancakes, mcdonalds mcdouble and a mcchicken and i haven’t noticed much fat in my shit, maybe the oily residue on the top of the toliet but when I worked out really hard on my own without the pills I shit more solidlike fat, lol! I even varied when I took the Alli pill, before a meal, right before a meal, during a meal…nothing…I guess the scale will tell, I’m going back to my regular low fat diet tomorrow.
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 WANT TO BE FREE OF FAT, JUST THAT
I was just wondering what kinds of foods are good to eat while on Alli. I know it’s supposed to be a low fat diet. But what foods are ok. I have a really hard time figuring out what to eat.
i have a over weight grand son (16) i just put him on alli..i am wondering sence he is autistic and takes ritalin if there is any side effects? so far his doctor does not seem think there is any harm. ?
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.
Well im a 31 year old women and Alli is great.I have tried it all.I exercise every day to.
I dont have any side affects so far.I have been taking Alli for 2 weeks.And I have lost 16 pounds.So good luck to anyone who wants to try them out they work.
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.
Omg!! i just experianced the “Treatment Effect”..as you call it! lol! this is only my second day using it!
gross..
get in shape the right and healthy way
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.
Hey My doctor just told me to take Alli she said it is great to take since i have been on healthy diet and i m gaining weight
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
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!
I just started Alli yesterday. My question is ” How much exercise are you suppose to do ” ? I walk on my treadmill for an hour. Is that enough ?
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.
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
@Laverne Dendy –
Laverne,
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 am wondering if Alli is right for me. I am vegan, and 18 years old I am 5′ 11″ and weigh like 240. I should weigh like 200.
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,
Sue
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.
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.
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!
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?
I am a 39 year old that isn’t that over weight but would love to loose a few extra pounds… Im at 123.5 pounds at 5 “2″ and look bigger than I am. I would love to get down to 110/108. Is this diet for me????
Tracy
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
