Product Reviews of Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 90-Count Starter Pack
Product Review: Alli, a great addition to your weight loss plans
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been on Alli for two weeks now and have to say I love it. I've been reading the reviews on here and must say if you follow your meal plan then there won't be any embarrasing "accidents". I've already lost five pounds. You must also realize you have to do some type of exercising at least three times a week. IF you can follow these steps you shouldn't have any problems.Product Review: Amazing product
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is amazing! The instructions very clear and the online support system very helpful. They don't try to sell you a bill of goods, you get straight facts about the product and what YOU are required to do in order to make it work for you. I appreciate the honesty here.Product Review: An honest testimonial.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not going to make you look like Paris Hilton by tomorrow. If that's what you're looking for, see a psychiatrist rather than an endochrinologist!
This is not going to keep you from being hungry. There's plenty of junk on the pharmacy & "herbal supplement" store shelves for that.
What it will do, is mitigate some of the fat you eat. If you have an extremely low-fat diet, it will do nothing for you. If you have an extremely high-fat diet (i.e. an American) it will do lots.
My credentials: I've been taking doctor-prescribed Xenical for a several years now. I've recently switched to Alli, because it is the exact same chemical ingredient (Orlistat) at exactly half the dose, and is significantly cheaper.
My results: When I started, I weighed 320 lbs. I now weigh 240. Now, I can't give all that credit to Alli, because in the two years it took me to lose the 80 pounds, there were numerous other factors to consider. Mostly, changes in my medication for type 2 diabetes. But the important point is, there was no change in diet or exercise over that period. Makes it a pretty good success story in my book.
Point 1) All of the other diet drugs fall into a couple of categories. One of which is the "appetite suppressant" group. Means nothing to me, because I'm never fighting my appetite. I eat well (and, according to two diabetic dieticians, appropriately) so I seldom get so hungry I have to binge. I understand the phenomenon, (on the rare occasion I miss two meals in a row, I'm ready to main-line Sugar Pops) and feel truly sorry for those who experience constant hunger, but Alli won't help that.
The second group are the "Metabolism Stimulants". You want to take "uppers" to lose weight? You deserve everything that happens to you. It's not for me. And Alli won't help you with that, either.
The point is THEY ARE ALL DRUGS, by definition. They enter the bloodstream and work on some chemical or organ in some way. Problem is, you expose every cell in your body to every one of them. Side-effect galore.
Alli is not a drug. It never leaves your gastro-intestinal tract. Pie-hole to Hershey highway, no destructive stops along the way. The so-called side-effects are identical to the effects of particular foods. Sure, they are real, and maybe you can't live with them, but it's nothing compared to the potential damage from the other drugs & herbs.
So the point is that this food additive stands alone as a non-drug alternative to weight loss. If you're like me and are plagued by half the side-effects listed of about every drug on the shelf, then this (and insulin) won't hurt you.
Point 2) This will mitigate a high-fat diet to some degree. Literally can't live without some bacon in the morning? Some animal must die for you have eaten well? Think of butter as a beverage? Well, stage one is "don't eat like that". Once you determined that your quality of life is more important than the advice of the putz from stage one, move on to stage two. Alli's whole deal is to simply bind with the fat you've eaten and pass it through. So with no change in your diet, you'll be eating less fat. Period. It's tough to imagine a scenario where reducing the fat in your diet isn't a good thing. (Fat soluble poisons collected in your system? You're already Paris Hilton? Macrobiotic? O.K., then move on. Everyone else, line up.)
Point 3) As I said before, the side-effects do exist. With practice and good sphincter muscle control, you will be able to skywrite. Six-hour staff meetings are a thing of the past. In the worst cases, keep a spare pair of BVD's handy. (That one's right from the manufacturer. Believe them.)
Basically, if you've ever had a bowl of my chili, you'll be fine. If your fastidious about your "number two" habits, you might want to give it a miss. Oh, and don't miss a day. I believe the ballistic equivalent would be called a "sabot". I won't go into further detail here. Just trust me.
So, to summarize:
It won't help you with your appetite.
It won't affect your metabolism.
It will remove some amount of fat from your diet.
It will give you the green apple quick step.
It will help with diabetes. (Lowered my average blood sugar by 50 points!)
It will take time to lose weight. (But hey, I should be the "Jarod" of Alli. It does work.)
It will lighten your wallet.
Product Review: Avoid side effects by not overeating folks!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been taking this for about a month, and lost weight very steadily (no small feat give that I'm within 5 lbs. of my preferred weight already). I've had no treatment effects because I followed the INSTRUCTIONS that come with it. It defnitely works, but I can't help but chuckle at all these dire warnings like "can't go out after I eat" and "side effects are horrible". Um. No. You guys are still eating too much fat with your meals, that's why you're having all these treatment effects, and the plan is very clear and specific about that. It's not mysterious or complex, and it's not the pill's fault. It's for people who want a little extra boost in their rate of weight loss while practicing healthy weight loss habits, and also serves as a motivator to not eat too much fat, but it's not difficult to avoid at all. It IS NOT for people who want to continue to eat cheeseburgers and fries and half a pizza, then blame their lack of weight loss on a pill.Product Review: Bathroom Here I come!
Summary: 1 Stars
I can review this miracle pill in a very short manner.
If you want to wear an adult diaper or stay in the bathroom most of the day, this is for you. You will definately leak out the ounces at a time. Just read the label, it will agree.
