 Great so far... March 9, 2010
J. Tarkenton
Started taking Alli 2 weeks ago and I am down five pounds so far according to my ancient bathroom scale. I started using Alli because I have chronic back pain, heart trouble, and am probably headed for diabetes unless I lose a considerable amount of weight. Have a hard time exercising because of the pain and was getting really frustrated with trying to lose weight. I like that the Alli gives my weight loss efforts a boost by cutting back the digested fat. Since I keep a log of what I eat and my fat intake is always below the recommended limit, I haven't had "treatment effects" to the major degree others have "detailed" here. Just one minor "incident" after the first two days. Haven't tried the website yet.
For an overweight old lady with health problems and a voracious appetite this is a real lifesaver. Getting the weight down will help remove the diabetic tendency, and lessen the bad back pain as well as decrease heart attack risks, but knowing and doing are two different things. So far the Alli is helping.
Four stars for now and maybe five stars after a couple months success.
 Oily Bottom March 2, 2010
Vida (Maryland)
I researched Alli for a month until I bought Alli Starter pack. I read so many reviews about this product I started getting dizzy. I read so many reviews stating that if you eat fatty foods than you will have oil leaking from your anus or go #2 on yourself when passing gas.
So, I made sure I ate foods with very little fat so I wouldn't have nasty side effects. Please understand that I only took Alli pills 3 times a day for only 3 weeks. First 2-3 days were fine, after that I was leaking oil like a old car LOL. Never used the bathroom on myself but there was oil.
I decided to stop taking Alli and lose weight the old fashion way, workout and count calories without Alli.
Please note that I'm not saying that Alli does not work in anyway. It is not for me, however they are countless people who have reached there weight loss goal by taking Alli with diet and exercise.
I just didn't like the oily leakage and decided to stop taking the pill.
 After 2 weeks not very impressed February 24, 2010

So, im trying to lose my last 20lb after having my son 2 years ago. Started 2 weeks ago on Alli, and my weight is exactly the same. I work out 4 to five times a week, and eat a sensible diet. Had only one oily stool after eating some thai food, but generally have felt constipated and bloated. Feeling pretty disappointed...have spent $100 on this product (starter kit plus extra pills) and have had no benefit from it. Also read some research that Alli could possibly cause liver cancer. Have to say that I think i'm gunna go back to good old weightwatchers. Lost almost 20lb over 3 months to slim down for my wedding. It's restrictive and hard work, but it works! Plus as I have my at home WW kit from last time, its basically free!
The SCIENCE behind Alli February 22, 2010

Alli is a bad choice. Here's the science:
A review of 16 studies of orlistat (the medicine in Alli), involving over 10,000 patients, revealed that the drug causes about 6 pounds of weight loss in a year.
That is equivalent to around 2% of calories consumed. Now which seems wiser:
* Spend several hundred dollars a year, take pills at every meal, and risk digestive side effects.
* Eat one bite less food, once a day.
If we were talking 10 or 20% of calories blocked, that would be fantastic, but we're talking about fewer than 60 calories a day. A bite of food. Guys, this is nowhere near worth the price.

I bought this as an aid to help me loss those last 10 lbs. I lost about 25 lbs on my own, and then bought this product. I was not very impressed. It does make you have to *go* a lot/fast. Also, if you eat healthy -- this will not help you. Also, it blocks the good fat - from fish, etc.
