Alli
Does Alli Work?
It’s probably a more effective colon cleanser than weight loss supplement. I’m sure you’ve read about the stinky side effects: explosive diarrhea and oily discharge. Alli is proven to help you lose 1 lb a month. Big deal.
How Does Alli Work?
Orlistat (main ingredient) helps reduce caloric intake by inhibiting the absorption of fat in the body. It hinders an enzyme in the pancreas from breaking down triglycerides in the intestine, thus preventing fats from being absorbed. Where does all of the unabsorbed fat go? It leaks out of your you-know-what and all of your khakis. In fact, Alli even recommends that you carry an extra change of clothes with you at all times!
Alli Side Effects
Probably the biggest drawback to Alli is the undesirable side effects that are pretty much unavoidable. Extremely loose, uncontrolled bowel movements and flatulence seem to be very common and prove to be embarrassing to most users. Those nasty experiences just don’t seem worth the one pound of weight lost during the month! Over half of the testimonials we have read claim that it is definitely a below average product that is overpriced and ¾ claim to have experienced a disagreeable stomach and uninvited leakage. The repeat positive comment we read is that it is available at basic stores such as Wal-Mart.
Alli Pros
- Available at Costco, Walmart
- Informative website
Alli Cons
- Awful side effects – explosive diarrhea – NO THANKS!
- Inconvenient – who wants to carry an extra pair of pants?
- No money back guarantee – where’s the confidence?
- Only 1lb of weight loss a month
- Expensive
Alli Conclusion
I don’t recommend Alli to anybody. Trust me, I’ve taken it, experienced the nasty side effects and didn’t lose 1 pound. It’s not even close to being one of our top 3 Weight Loss Pills.
There are many supplements that have quicker and higher weight loss without the negative effects. You just need to know which ones and where to find them. We have included a list of supplements that can provide much better results and don’t keep you running to the bathroom! We have also included a link to the best and most reputable places to purchase them.

#2 Phenphedrine
- Gives users an "Herbal" feeling: "Natural High"
- Helps Appetite Suppression
- Stimulates overall feeling of well being.
Phenphedrine will without a doubt provide users the QUICKEST weight loss results. It's the only product we reviewed that surpassed the weight loss results of the now banned Fen-Phen in Weight Loss Speed and scored a 100% in this category. There have been reports that Phenphedrine's "Controversial" formula contains trace amounts of the prescription drugs Phentermine (a centrally acting stimulant chemically related to amphetamines which halts the hunger sensation in the brain commonly sold under the names Fastin and Adipex) and Prescribed Pain Relievers. Our thorough research into Phenphedrine has not produced any evidence of these ingredients and we believe these rumors to be false.
Phenphedrine does however give users a feeling of a "Happy" sensation which helps suppress ones appetite and overall feeling of well-being. This euphoric feeling is most likely caused by a herbal combination of intense stimulants that stimulate what is known in the scientific community as C-A-R-T and Humulus Lupus (one of only two plants in the family Cannabinaceaea... the other being Marijuana) which inhibits NPY. Concerns that Phenphedrine may be soon taken off the market like Fen-Phen may make finding bottles in the U.S., Canada, and United Kingdom difficult. Phenphedrine is definitely the diet pill of choice for those seeking extraordinary RAPID results. Its results Super Exceed its price tag.

#3 Ephedrasil Hardcore
Ephedrasil Hardcore was not made for the average dieter looking to shed a few pounds of fat. It was made for those looking to lose AT LEAST 25 pounds. Yes, this is one HARDCORE weight loss pill.
To clear the rumors, Ephedrasil doesn't contain ephedra or ephedrine alkaloids. And it doesn't contain any other banned substances. It contains pharmaceutical-grade, potent fat burners and appetite suppressants, all of which are legal (currently) in the US.
At $79, Ephedrasil Harcore is pricey, but you get from you pay for. With a 98.4% success rate (according to EH) there isn't much risk in giving it a try. They even offer a 90 Day money back guarantee guarantee.

I think the problem with Alli is that it is not the pill that makes you lose weight, it is the exercising and the diet or healthy eating. If you take Alli away and just do the exercising and healthy eating you will lose the same amount of weight. All Alli does, is like a “poo” booster which means it helps you go to the toilet daily. For those who don’t follow a healthy lifestyle or exercise they will get the diarrhea symptoms that people describe. So, is Alli worth the price tag? No, just stick to the healthy diet and exercise and buy a box of tablets that help you go to the toilet naturally – much cheaper.
I have only taken alli for 4 days and have already lost 4.5 pounds. I have not had any severe side effects from this product, as of yet. I will keep taking this product as I need to loose 40 lbs. I have tried every diet pill that you can imagine and so far Alli is the firdt one to help me loose weight. I live in Canadian and purchased this in the States when I was there, does any one know if you can get it in Canada. I do not eat any large amounts of greasy foods and have had no problem, with real loose bowels. I guess everyone is different.
Congrat Maria, best of luck to you. Just started taking Alli last night…. will let ya know
People never cease to amaze me…I have been taking Alli for about a month now and I am down about 15 lbs. I love Alli and if you simply take the time to read the bottle, then there should be little or no problems while taking it. Yes, there is potential for an “accident” while taking Alli, but it is clearly stated in the instructions that a high fat diet will cause such problems. And yes, Alli does pose a risk of depleting your body of certain vitamins but it is also printed in the information insert that you must take a daily multi-vitamin while taking these pills which we all should be doing anyway. Alli is not a fat burner, appetite suppressant, or any other kind of diet pill. It is strictly a fat blocker. With a sensible, reduced calorie and low fat diet it makes weight loss so much easier. You just have to be responsible about what you eat and exercise in addition to taking the pill. Another plus, Alli is approved by the FDA. Most “diet” pills on the market are NOT approved and can be extremely dangerous. Bottom line…if you are serious about losing weight, give Alli a try. If you are looking for the easy way out and are not willing to change your eating habits and get some exercise, then maybe liposuction is your best option.
My husband and I took alli for about a month. No results. My husband actually got extremely sick about two weeks into. Serious loose bowels for four days. He wasn’t able to even eat and he still didn’t loose one pound. I know they say some things don’t work for some people, but we are opposites, you would think it would work for one of us, if it works at all.
If your FAT then go to the gym and stop eating crap. You can eat all day long if its good for you, so whats the question? Everyone in this country is looking for a pill to fix everything..Everyone wants instant results, well it takes a long time to get a million extra pounds off, so just do it one pound at a time and live for today..It upsets me that so many people are so ignorant..
Some of you may say “well she must be skinny to say all this.” Well I wasn’t and I made a choice and guess what,? I eat all day long. I eat food, not garbage. There is a difference. America get off the sofa and get off the diet pills and take control of you freaking lives..Make an executive decission to do it for yourself for life..
I HAVE BEEN TAKING ALLI FOR 3 MONTHS I EAT MOSTLY WHAT I WANT AND I HAVE STILL LOST 22 POUNDS I THINK IT’S THE BEST DIET PILL ON THE MARKET AND WILL CONTINUE TAKING IT UNTILL I LOSE ALL MY WEIGHT WICH I NEED TO LOSE 70 MORE LBS AND THE MORE I LOOSE THE MORE I WANT TO EAT RIGHT. I EXERCISE ONCE A WEEK WE HAVE STARTED A WEIGHTY LOSS CLASS AT CHURCH ON MONDAY NIGHTS WE WEIGH IN AND THE EXERCISE.
I READ WERE A LADY SAID SHE HAD THE WORST STOMACH PAINS SHE PROBABLLY HAD SOME FAT IN THE FOOD SHE EAT BECAUSE IT DOES THAT TO ME ALSO BUT I KNOW I EAT SOMETHING THAT HAD FAT IN IT, I WISH PEOPLE WOULD NOT PUT DOWN ALLI BECAUSE IT WILL WORK IF YOU CONTROL YOUR DIET AND JUST WALK FOR 15 MINS 3 DAYS A WEEK
well kris i here you but some people have mayor thing in their lives that has cause the over weight problem. i dont mean eating poorly, over eatng, eating late i mean medically and they are trying to fix the problem with a lil help just enough for about a month to get them where they can do the rest by themselves. so every1 that is fat does not just sit around and have poor habits.
People can be so judgmental. For those of you bashing others because the crap-causing pill Alli didn’t work for them have no business telling others what they should do to lose weight. Let me tell you something: I followed the Alli plan to the letter, exercised, did everything I was supposed to, and did not lose a single pound. Yet when I was on my own custom diet, I lost 6 pounds in two weeks. I think I will go back to that. Because Alli can for me be summed up into 2 words: Utterly useless and a complete waste of your money. It even made me have severe stomach cramps by the second week, and I was hardly eating any fat to begin with! For those of you who are having trouble, I would suggest making small changes, and follow your own diet that works for you. After all, you are yourself, and you know your body better than anyone else right? And one thing that has helped me was fiber and protein. They help you feel full. I should have stayed on my own diet instead of trying Alli’s crappy diet and worthless pills. For everyone thinking about trying it but aren’t sure, trust me: save your money for something that’s worth it.
it made me runnn oil on my panties today and smells horrible if u pass gas during sex….it sux
it works 4 me….i eat all day and feel lighter
I have only been on Alli for a week but I have lost 7lbs and if you keep under 15g of fat per meal NO SIDE EFFECTS.You eat more than that you will get them its that simple !You do however WANT to make the life change and if you cheat? Well greasy farts its that easy.
it works, you have to eat health you can not eat a lot of fat and not expect to not have the the runs. If you have the runs then you need to eat the right foods not fat food.
I just started the Alli program a week ago…I haven’t been on the scale but I can tell my clothes are looser than they were. I had a few ‘treatment effects’ at first but I am fine now. I have read the reviews and guess Alli is not for everyone. I think it is right for me though…I know it is not a miracle pill and that hard work comes along with it…so I will continue and see how well it works for me…Good luck everyone I wish you success with whatever program you choose.
I BEEN TAKING ”XENICAL” THE SAME IS ALLI,I HAVE TAKING IT FOR TWO YEARS,I ONLY LOOSE SEVEN POUNDS.THE SMELL IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!
If you think that you are going to buy this pill keep eating like a pig, then you’re gonna crap like one. You must always watch what you eat and get off your ass and workout! This pill does help if you follow a healthy balanced diet!!!
I tried alli for over two weeks. This medicine made my stomach hurt and gave me gas. I didn’t experience lose stools but i did experience oil farts that ruined my pants. I had to throw away my chair at work and lie to my boss and leave early. That is unbearably horrible for anyone to experience. The adds explain that you have to eat under 15 grams of fat, which i do already and exercise. I thought the medication would help me lose that last 10 pounds. I lost zero weight a few days of work and 70 dollars in the hole. I didn’t even finish the bottle figuring if i hadn’t lost a single pound yet why continue with the horrible side effects.
Honestly, its not worth it. I’m gonna stick to my low fat diet and exercise. If the weight doesn’t come off then it doesn’t come off. Theres no way i would recommend this product to anyone. My mom asked if i would send her the remains of my bottle and I threw it out. I wish that on no one. Even though it only happened twice, once is too many times. So even if you follow the rules your still gonna fart and spray oil ruining your pants and whatever your sitting on. There is no controling it……
I have been taking alli for ten months in those ten months I have lost 50 pounds I weigh 190 last yr in july now im back at 140lbs. I started a low fat diet in September 09 and taking alli, exerciseing not eating after 7pm no soda. I had side effects the first few weeks ten nothing. I learned that the fat intake at ech meal was to much is why it was happening, so I chaiged it and no side effects just weight loss! So for those who say it dosent work or other thins. Well you must of not resd the little books that come with the pills and maybe you should learn how to eat then see ur results. Because alli does work!Oh the oily spoting is because ur over eating! Soif nothing changed for some of you then maybe you werent using it the right way! You have to work out people!
I started taking Alli when it first came out. I was wearing a size 28. In one year I lost 100 pounds. You do have to watch your fat intake and I started walking at least 4 days a week. It really is about watching what you eat, I had accidents in the beginning until I learned how much fat I could take in with each meal ( i didn’t go over 19 grms at that time). It’s now 2 years later and I’m about to start taking Alli again (now I’m a size 14). As long as you eat healthy, do a little exercise this product should work for you. I will NEVER go back to a size 28, I feel so much healthier now and I can’t wait to start losing again…I’m going for a size 10. Wish me luck and good luck to you all!!
I purchased Alli about 2 weeks ago and have decided to quit. I don;t think the pills work for me. There were times I had more than the recommended amount of fat intake and nothing happen; no loose bowel, oily farts nor 1 lb lost.. But there was a problem with my digestive tract that I just couldn’t understand. So, Alli was a waste of money for me.
I have been taking Alli for 3 months and have lost inches not lbs. And i feeel a hole lot better. I drive a 18 wheeler and i eat right and walk.
