Alli, the only FDA approved over the counter weight loss pill, is quickly becoming one of the most talked about and recognizable programs available today. Alli was developed as an obesity diet plan due to the fact that its main ingredient prevents fat absorption in the body. With that said, a few questions remain:
-Weight loss and Alli, does it work?
-What are the side effects of Alli?
-Is there an Alli alternative that works as well or better?
Benefits of Alli Program:
1. Effectively promotes weight loss
2. Provides reference booklets to keep your weight loss on track when your out of the house
3. Stress management tools help prevent the desire for emotional eating
4. Online community provides emotional and motivational support
5. Reduces blood pressure
Cons and Side Effects:
1. Uncomfortable bowel movements that according to Alli website "remind you when your eating too much fat"
2. Only blocks 25% of dietary fat from being absorbed
3. Designed for the overweight and obese, not a good idea to take if your just trying to lose a few pounds
4. Quite costly, refill packs run around $70 and the starter pack costs $50
5. No known long term side effects due to the fact that it is fairly new
So now back to my original question Alli. Does it work? Alli is not a scam and has been proven effective for losing moderate amounts of weight. However, the side effects you may experience as a result can be quite a turn off. Instead, you may want to try an Alli alternative.
