Anyone going to try My Alli
Is anyone going to try My Alli it is due out tomorrow. It is a reduced dose of xenical (60mg as opposed to 120mg).

I read a lot about it. I don't think it would do much good on this diet though as it's such a low fat diet. But what do I know? :-)
So is anyone going to try it? Speaking of this - there was a supplement tab on the news today - you eat it and for 30 min. afterwards you cannot taste anything sweet. They said it does work - they showed 2 women at a ice cream shop - gave each one a tablet and 30 seconds later had them try their ice cream - NO taste ! |
oh my gosh that would be really funny to experience!

How weird. I need something to block out salty though, that is my true nemesis.
So, what is the perk of the reduced dose of xenical? I tried xenical a few years ago. As long as I did not eat fat, I was fine. If I did, my tummy hurt so much it was horrible. Also, TMI, I know, but those commercial disclaimers about explosive diareahh (sp?) and gas with oily discharge are all very true. |

I think on this plan it would be a waste of money , we basiclly eay right. |
WOW. I am so glad someone said something. I was curious about it and picked up a pamphlet at the grocery store. I'd rather take the weight loss at my pace than have explosive diarhea and oily dischrage... that's God-awful!

Eeeewwww...thanks for the info. I've been seeing it advertised everywhere and was wondering about it myself.

Forget it!
I tried it via Rx from my MD....
No thanks! I couldn't deal with the "leaks" ...ruined many a pair of underwear/pants. :devil: Even while watching my fat intake. |
ok, well then, I'll be crossing THIS off my things to check into!
|
If anyone tries this, please know that you will lose your fat soluble vitamins; so it is important to supplement these while on this medication

This is a quote from the Jenny Craig Newsletter:
"The addition of alli to a 1200 calorie/25% fat calorie menu may result in an additional net loss in caloric absorption of only 75 calories per day, or 0.15 pounds weight loss per week . " I don't know what the fat calorie percentage is for LAWL, but if it's anywhere near this, it doesn't seem that it may do much good. Disclaimer: I did not notice a source for this particular piece of info. Good luck all! Holly |
