In 2007, the first over the counter weight loss pill called Alli was approved for use by the FDA. I thought it would be interesting to see what the results have been for users since it was released to the general public 3 years ago.
Alli is actually the market name for Xenical, a perscription medication that contains the active ingredient Orlistat. Alli stops your body from absorbing the fat that you eat by blocking the action of the enzyme lipase, which helps your body to digest fat.
If you want to lose weight as efficiently and safely as possible, I would not recommend using Alli.
First of all, in 2009, the FDA has already ordered a safety review of Alli because there have been reports of serious liver injury in some people who’ve used it.
Second, there are some very unpleasant side effects from taking Alli such as gas with an oily anal discharge, loose stools or diarrhea, and more frequent and difficult to control bowel movements.
Third, reports are that you will only lose 3 more pounds a year on Alli than you would lose on a regular diet. This is based on studies done on Xenical which is twice the strength of Alli.
Before using Alli, you should consider if that extra bit of weight loss is worth the risk, extra expense and unpleasant side effects.
