Product Reviews of Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 90-Count Starter Pack
Product Review: Horrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
The side effects of alli are not worth it for taking this pill. I had a diet of almost no fat and I still suffered from oil stool often time that I could not control and had to leave work several times to change. I suggest Hydroxycut Hardcore instead, cheaper and works much better and no awful side effects.Product Review: I can not take this product,

Product Review: I can't believe people are falling for this thing.
Summary: 1 Stars
I am not a nutritionist or a doctor, but in high school biology class (honors) I learned about glucose metabolism in human beings and how glucose is made from the foods we eat. It is the primary metabolism of human beings, and we stay in this primary metabolism as long as plentiful sugars and starches are available in our diets. If we eat these to excess, the extra glucose gets turned into body fat.
I guess most of the rest of the country has not had this lesson, because thirty years into the low-fat craze we still have not figured out that demonizing dietary fat doesn't do a thing for weight loss in the long run. I'm surprised, too, because we keep having to come out with "new" solutions like this idiotic pill, when if low-fat dieting alone worked for most people they would just stick with it and stay thin.
Without the biology lesson it used to be common knowledge that too much sugar and starch were not good for one's waistline. I remember hearing that when I was a kid, too, and I'm only 33. Dietary fad wins out over wisdom.
I don't doubt that some people are losing weight with alli. I'm going to hazard a guess that the dietary plan accompanying the drug calls for a severe reduction in processed starches and sugars and cutting out the junk food entirely. Fine. That is going to result in weight loss for a lot of people, but not because the fat's being cut back.
In fact, if you have not tried alli yet, try this first: Without counting calories in the beginning, just get rid of anything in your pantry containing white flour or sugar. Severely cut back on white potatoes. Skip the corn. Keep pasta and bread intake to a minimum, and keep the portions small. Meanwhile, go crazy on vegetables, fruits, and lean animal protein (if you are not a vegetarian). Be sure to include healthy vegetable oils in your diet such as olive, canola, and flax. If you don't lose weight from that, the pill's not going to help you.
I worry that people are going to continue with this fat-is-evil nonsense and they're going to seriously hurt themselves. YOU NEED FAT to produce hormones and other important chemicals in your body, and also to maintain your nervous system. Yes, you even need saturated fat! And I'll say it again: our primary metabolism is sugar-burning, not fat-burning, and it isn't excess dietary fat that gets stored as fat. Don't screw up your body blindly following a dogma that hasn't been proven yet. The Journal of the American Medical Association has documented as of March 2007 (Google it!) that people who cut back on refined carbs lose weight more effectively AND have better laboratory readings than people who follow extremely low-fat diets. If you're not getting about thirty percent of your calories a day from dietary fat then there's a problem.
People need to learn how to eat right, not pop yet another pill. And personally I would think the fact of having to go around in Depends from my thirties onward would negate any positive social effects I might experience from weight loss with this pill.
Product Review: I had many gastrointestinal side effects
Summary: 1 Stars
Before eating I consume a pill, and the gastrointestinal side effect such as diarrhea, flatulence and constipation continue asociated with pain in stomach. and this continue almost three days after the ingestio of the pill.Product Review: I think it's helped
Summary: 3 Stars
I began taking Alli 01/10/08. During that time I have had no side effects, as a matter of fact i've had the opposite (constipation). My starting weight was 167lbs, as of today, 01/25/08 I weigh 160lbs. I lost 6lbs in the first week, and 1 in the 2nd. I do karate twice a week, and walking about 4 days a week at work. i have stuck to a diet of no more than 1200 calories (give or take) so my results may have a lot to do with these two factors. i have also been taking the pills wrong. i've been taking them 30mins before a meal, and not with the meal. I just began taking them with the meal yesterday. i will write and updated review after two more weeks.
