alli Weight Loss Pill: Facts, Testimonials & Ratings

alli® is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product. But it’s more than just a pill. It’s an innovative weight loss program. The pill works by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat. And the program includes an individually tailored, online action plan to help you lose weight safely and gradually.

So says the makers of alli®. Obviously, the FDA approval is a big deal, though it is far from a guarantee that it is safe (i.e. Vioxx). Still, the number of tests for efficacy that a drug has to go through before being approved by the FDA is extensive, and so alli® should be given the benefit of the doubt there. As with all weight loss pills, more than the pill will be required to lose weight.

Feedback & Overview
Actual Customer Feedback:
I've been on the "My Alli Plan" for 5 1/2 weeks and have lost 19 1/2 lbs...with a purchase you go online and register your product code in your pack. I registered the 90 pill starter pack and I received 90 days of online support, with EVERYTHING you need (as far as tools and information) to follow the plan. If you were to join an online weight loss plan such as Weight Watchers it would cost $65.00 FOR 3 months. So you get that free with ALLI, which is a $65.00 value in itself (which in a way, pays for the pills, mine were $60.00 + tax.). They have a meal planner, a food log, a recipe lookup, a water log, a weekly weigh-in, a calorie and fat counter, an activity log listing calories burned, an automatic tally of what you consume, a weekly plan, with guidance for the next step, and a message forum to talk with others (the buddy system). Sure there is more, but I can't name them all.

If you have an extremely high-fat diet (i.e. an American) it will do lots.

As supplements go, alli® certainly has a large following. Its biggest detractors will readily admit that it works in what it sets out to do, because it teaches those who use it how to eat more healthy diets. As that happens, the user will lose weight. Its side effects are fairly disgusting, but it is through these experiences that the user learns how to keep the weight off.
