   I initially ordered Alli strictly for weight-loss. However, I now use it to keep me regular. I have always been extremely irregular, many times going 2 weeks without relief. Irregularity causes extreme bloating, pain and irritibility. I have always had to use laxatives every week, just to move things along. But, as anyone knows who's ever used laxatives, they cause pain and you better be home while you're using them. I have also tried colon cleansers with absolutely 0 results (unless you consider extreme bloating a result). With Alli, I go every day and without the pain. I have only experienced the oily discharge one time in 3 months, so it is great for me. If you are anything like me, then you would benefit greatly from this product.

   The only weight loss assistance product (fat blocker) that has worked for me. Two friends are also using it with success. The fact that this is an over the counter remedy is also a plus. Very few side effects (you will have to read about those elsewhere) and a provider of great benefit that clearly outweighs any side effects one might experience. Takes some getting use to... but all is well after a few weeks. If you are more than 20% overweight this is a fantastic alternative to harsh prescription drugs, bad diets, and false remedies. Recommended !

   This product is a wonderful weight loss aid - I have lost 41 pounds in 7 months (and is much cheaper on Amazon than it is in the stores)!! You DO have to include diet and exercise (but anything that tells you that you don't is either lying, unhealthy or both)! Here is what Alli does for you: 1. It burns away 1/4 of the fat that you eat without any stimulant 2. It makes you lose 50% more weight than you would on your own (so if you were going to lose 10lbs you lose 15lbs instead! 3. It has no stimulants that can damage your heart and make you shaky and unstable - those are very bad for you. 4. Alli is the ONLY weight loss OTC drug that is FDA approved - meaning they know that it is proven and safe! If you are just starting out I would recommend the starter kit because it includes some great extra goodies (like a case to carry the pills with you when you are on the go and some books that help to get you started). There are a few warnings to give: 1. If you eat too much fat (more than 15g of fat per meal depending on the person maybe you could eat more but probably shouldn't since you are dieting anyway) YOU WILL GET ILL THE NEXT DAY. But I like to see it as a deterrent - it keeps you from over binging. If you really want something, I like using a one bite rule. Just take one bite - get that wonderful taste in your mouth - and move on to your healthier meal. It is hard but it is definitely worth it! (If you do know of a special occasion where you want to eat really fancy fatty food make sure you don't take the medicine for about 4 days before) 2. Start eating healthy about a week prior to starting the program so you don't have any residual fat just to make sure you don't get sick. 3. IT IS ONLY AN AID! You have to be ready to eat right and exercise or your progress will be minimal at best. The side effects sound scary but are most definitely worth it if you have weight to lose and want something to accompany diet and exercise! It has worked for many friends and family - the best for those who are truly dedicated to an exercise program. They do have a website that can help you with tips and plans! Good luck!
