Alli Diet Pill Review

By: Stacy Harlow

Alli, pronounced "ally" is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss diet aid. This product, released on June 15, 2007, does not proclaiming to be a miracle weight loss pill. In fact, the Alli Diet Pill and the accompanying diet plan might be somewhat of a challenge to the average dieter.

The effective ingredients in Alli don't work to curb the appetite. Instead, the product attaches to enzymes in the digestive tract to prevent absorption of up to 1/4 of the fat eaten. The body then expells the fat thereby producing a gradual weight loss.

The Side Effects of Alli include excessive gas, bloating, oily stools hard to control bowel movements, and gas with oily spotting. However, it is reported that many of these side effects can be prevented when the drug is taken in conjunction with a low-fat diet. Since Alli doesn't work to curb the appetite, Alli doesn't produce the sleeplessness, jitteryness, and rapid heart beat like some of its competitors.

The most advertised Benefit of Alli is the fact that the product doesn't just come in a box with the instructions: "take one table 1 hr before meals". Alli is a Weight Loss Plan. The Alli Kit comes with a Welcome Guide, a Daily Journal, and a Calorie and Fat Counter. Moreover, the Alli Website provides access to "myalliplan" which is an online, customized action plan tailor made for each individual dieter.

Alli is not the diet pill for every individual. Alli will not provide overnight success. Further, each meal consumed should contain not more than 15 grams of fat to reduce the unsightly side effects. Any diet should be a serious undertaking. Be sure to contact your doctor before starting any new diet plan. If you believe Alli is the answer for you, arm yourself with all of the information available before committing to the plan.
