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.
