- - Alli - What is it, and does it work? (https://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/does-work/115217-alli-what-does-work.html)

I am one of those people who have used alli without problems. This is my second time using it. Will only use a 90-pill bottle so just a month. So far it is working great. What I like about alli, is that you always lose weight, at least me anyway, every single day, even if I am not eating the healthiest diet. I eat pizza sometimes and still no problem.

My mother used it when it came out, at the time I was vehemently against using any kind of pill and I remember being very rude to her about using it. A couple of years later I decided to give it a try.

Either way I have to watch what I eat and exercise but without Alli, I was just maintaining my weight, once I started taking it (about 3 months consistently) the scale has finally started moving.

I know people who have had no success with it, and people who had way too many side effects. So I guess it all depends.

I definitely would not, if there's not enough fat it can give you some serious cramps. They also tell you how much fat a meal should have before you take it and I've found a lot of diet meals don't have enough.

Side effects wise for me, if I eat the recommended amount of fat I don't get the...mess I'll say. Take it with a cheeseburger and fries and you'll regret it.

The key for me is, I drink a big glass of fiber with every single pill, binds up any oil that may come out.

I still take supplements (Fish Oil included) but I take it at a time when it's not effected by the pill and I do not take Alli 3 times a day, my breakfast never has much fat, and sometimes my dinner doesn't either.

Yes, you should be eating fat in order to take it. The first time I took alli I was having dinners like tuna and spinach. I felt nauseous and now I know why. When taking alli I think it is better to have a more fat and protein based diet than carb-based diet.

Does anyone here still take this?

I am in the UK and started on it last week. I got it from my doctor and am being monitored monthly.

budgiesareawesome, in case you are visiting this again - I would highly recommend you DON'T take any pills to assist with your weight loss. I do not think the list of side effects and potential risks to your health are worth it.

Just my two cents.

Wondering if anyone else on Alli? Day 3, no side effects, been watching my fat intake, so far so good!

OK, I have gone on and off Alli a few times over the years, always just for the sake of kickstarting things, and now I'm DONE.

I think what gets me the most is you can be going along great, with no treatment effects whatsoever. (Or you actually get stopped up). Then suddenly everything goes to **** and you're sick for an entire weekend. I think if I experienced treatment effects more consistently it would be better but it just felt so random.
