Alli is the latest buzz in the weight loss industry. It is a diet pill coming out this summer that is FDA approved (the first ever!) and it is available over-the-counter.
What is Alli?
Alli is a new weight loss drug that is made by GlaxoSmithKline. It is half the dose of Xenical and it is especially a fat blocker. It carried a quarter of the fat you eat through your body without allowing it to be absorbed or stored. This cuts down on your fat and caloric intake.
What About Diet and Exercise?
Alli only works if you follow a healthy diet and keep up on your exercise regimen. You have to be committed to your diet and exercise first, then sue Alli as a diet supplement to aid your weight loss. The problem is that anyone can get it at the pharmacy now without a prescription, so your commitment will not be tested or enforced.
Side Effects
It should come as no surprise that Alli has unwanted side effects, like most weight loss drugs. Alli speeds up the process of taking fat through the body and escorting it out. The problem is that you can experience loose, watery BM's and you may experience oily spotting without warning.
The Support of Alli
Alli is said to be your ally in your fight against obesity. But no one should have to travel their weight loss journey alone, so they set up a site for those taking Alli to find support at www.myalliplan.com.
My Recommendation
Save your money and your trip to the pharmacy. Alli may be more convenient now that it is available OTC, but it is best to ignore the hype. Create a healthy lifestyle and focus on balance and moderation, while eating sensibly and exercising daily.
