alli Review

alli is sold everywhere. No matter where you turn it seems there’s an advertisement or huge end cap in your favorite pharmacy or grocery store promoting what has been termed a “revolutionary” weight loss pill. Many people have noticed the catchy slogans, chic advertisements and luring intrigue but still don’t know exactly what alli is or how it works.

alli boasts that it is the only FDA approved, over the counter weight loss product. They take great pride in this feat and make it known that they are indeed a first. The alli program comes with a bottle of pills and a weight loss plan that encourages participants to change their eating and exercise routines if they don’t comply with the programs perimeters.

The program claims that the alli pills will accelerate weight loss by 50%. For example, if you would have lost 20 pounds simply by changing your eating habits, you could have lost 30 pounds by participating in the alli program. The alli capsules are said to inhibit one forth of the fat you ingest from absorbing into your body therefore allowing your body to rid itself of the fat instead of holding on to it.

The alli kit comes with a one month supply of alli capsules, a carrying case for your pills, reference booklets and a guidance plan to help participants keep track of what they eat and how often they are exercising. Although alli has taken the dieting world by storm, is it really a wonder drug with no side effects? Really, just go with Medifast.

The drug used in the alli program has been around for years under the name Orlistat. Orlistat has been used by people attempting weight loss but many stopped due to increased diarrhea, gas and uncontrollable leakage. alli is simply another marketing ploy that has reinvented the wheel with millions of dollars invested in advertising.

The FDA has stated that alli is both safe and effective, but how does the FDA define these terms? They claim it is effective, but in clinical trials people who took the alli drug only lost on average one pound a month. The same clinical study stated that as soon as the participants stopped using the drug, they gained the weight back in a matter of weeks.

The drug is very effective at blocking fat. Although this may be a positive aspect for people consuming an unhealthy amount of fat, it also blocks essential “good” fats such as omega 3-fatty acids. These good fats are crucial for brain development and other vital organs.

Some of the fats blocked are bonded to necessary vitamins such as vitamins E, A and D. Prolonged use may cause vitamin deficiencies that could lead to other serious health concerns. Vitamin deficiencies are not legally categorized as a side effect. This enabled the FDA to conveniently look over this aspect leaving alli with no legal cause to disclaim vitamin deficiencies as a possible side effect.

Although alli has made its mark on our society, it may not be all it’s claiming to be. The bottom line is that weight loss is simple and should be done in accordance with nature. Eating a low calorie, low fat diet coupled with daily exercise will shed the pounds effectively and safely.
