   although this sounds like a miracle pill, it’s really pretty rough. i had a prescription to it when it was available under the name “xenical” and let me tell you…you can eat what you want, but that fat’s gotta come out some way or another. it’s really gross. potential users: be prepared for accidents!

   May I ask you if it worked? Sounds like loosing weight with this pill has some drawbacks.

   Well, it definitely absorbs the fat, so my body was digesting less of it. I must admit that I did not necessarily diet, nor did I exercise while I was on a combination of Xenical and a generic form of Fastin– a type of hunger-blocker. I did lose weight, but not much, although I’m sure I would have been more successful had I gone the traditional route. My personal view of Xenical– now Alli– is that while the idea is absolutely awesome, the side effects really aren’t worth it. Even the slightest amount of fat from food will be absorbed, and any user will be paying the price later.

   How much does Alli usually cost, by the way? When I had a prescription to Xenical, my insurance company wouldn’t cover it, so the price of 45 pills was close to 80 bucks.

   For 60 pills of Alli you will probably pay around $50. Thanks for the information about Alli, if anyone else has tried it please share.

   I have been on the alli diet for a month now. I have now lost 12lbs. I have not been to the gym I wish I had more time but that is life. Long as you follow the directions and stay within your target fat grams and calories you do not have the side effects. I have never had any embarrising treatment effects. Just follow the plan you will start seeing results.

   I also tried Xenical a few years ago. Frankly, unless you want to wear adult diapers, it’s not worth the hassle. Also, keep in mind that if you eat the way they tell you to eat while on Alli to avoid the “runs”, you’ll be eating so properly that you won’t need Alli! But at least it’s a lot less expensive than Xenical was; so now, one can have accidents more cheaply. During the couple of months I tried it, it did not seem to help me lose weight any more than a good diet did.

   The only reason you get the side-effects is when you eat too much fat. The good thing about this drug is that it makes you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Let’s face it, the only healthy way to lose weight is to diet and exercise, not by just taking diet pills. You have to exercise and eat healthy if you want to live a long and healthy life. Our society is too fascinated with the get thin quick methods, which is why we have such an obesity problem…THEY DON’T WORK!

    You can read more about it by visiting the website or even Drugstore.com’s Alli section.

    I have been on Alli for about 8 weeks and I have lost 45 pounds. It is the best thing that I have ever tried to lose weight. I take the pill when I eat. I try to eat the fat grams that they say to eat, but sometimes I don’t. Sure you will have the (oily butt), but the weight comes off. I have never had an accident. You have plenty of warning when you need to go to the bathroom.

    I’ve been on Alli for about 3 months and have lost 24-28 lbs. My doctor is very happy with the results. I have had a few side effects but it was my own fault. Too much fat…I played…I paid. I don’t eat everything I should nor do I workout.

    I am interested in trying Alli for the first time however I am really fearful of the side effects. I was told that if you stick to the diet plan they recommend then all is well. Is there any truth to this???

    I am trying to get a printable $10 coupon for Alli Diet Pills, but I can not get it to print. My computer keep telling me it is a security risk and even though I press “allow it”, it throws me back to Alli’s homepage. I have Windows Vista and it just does not work with Alli’s website. Can you help me or e-mail me one?

    You must disable your antivirus software, it seem to be preventing you to print out the coupon. Also you can use the $10 drugstore.com coupon above which also gives you free shipping. It is probably a lot easier to use.

    I have been using alli now for about a month and a half on a random basis. I wanted to see how my digestive system would react to it. I have been very satisfied how my system has reacted to alli. I have lost five pounds to date since I started taking it. My digestive system is better now that before I did start taking the alli. My body must not break down the fats very well and that would cause severe constipation pain. With the alli product, I am coming out ahead in two different ways. I am losing weight gradually and I have managed to digest food better now than I have in the past. I don’t know if anyone else has had this same result but for me, I am very satisfied.

    Hi, I am thinking about using Alli; however, I am skeptical because of all the negative reviews. There are more negative views then positive ones. My problem area is my stomach, and I am just about ready to take on a little discomfort, if it means getting rid of my big belly!! My main concern is taking this pill as a diabetic. Once my doctor gives me the go-head, I think I will try it.

    I have been using Alli for 3 months. I have lost a total of 13 pounds, but I do not count calories and such. I cook 3 times a day (a stay at home Mom) and I just stay away from the obvious fat foods such as icecream, chocolates and such. I did have accidents from the start, but minor ones. I do go to the gym 2-3 times a week and the pills work A LOT better when it’s on a gym day. I was disappointed that I was only able to lose the small amount of weight, but I lost inches. I have gone down nearly 2 dress sizes. As of this moment, I am looking for a printable coupon so I can buy my refill pack of Alli. I feel better knowing something is there to help me along with my weight loss than by diet and exercise alone.

    To really clean out the colon, I recommend Alli and an herbal colon cleanser. The herbs will absorb the oily discharge and will get all the gunk out of your colon.

    Comment by Devona on 9 July 2008:

    Well….I have been usig Alli for sometime now and I dont ever see my life without it. The first time I took xylacal along with the precose (sugar blocker) I lost 26 pounds and went from a 10 to a size 6. Personally, I dont mind the “oily Butt”. That is an easy fix, losing the weight is the hardest thing for me, but Alli keeps me focused and I know that when I eat something “naughty” that it will pass, literally. So, who cares. The pounds come off, Im not constipated any more, and I love it.
