Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule. But it's more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat. The alli program starts with your commitment to adopting healthy eating habits. It combines the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product with an individually tailored support plan to help you achieve gradual and healthy weight loss. When you take alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, you can lose 50% more weight than dieting alone. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds with diet alone, you can lose 15 pounds with the alli program. alli is safe - it works in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. It will not cause jitters, sleeplessness, or a racing heart. You can't just try alli - you have to commit to it. More information can be found at myalli.com, where you can also talk to alli users, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and fitness experts on the alli message board. Or talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian to help determine if you're ready.
Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories. The main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can't absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them "treatment effects." These include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal. Don't use alli if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have had an organ transplant, or if you are taking cyclosporine. Do not take alli if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in alli capsules. Ask a doctor before using alli if you are taking warfarin. Do not take alli if you are not overweight. You can take up to three alli capsules per day, one with each meal containing fat. Take a multivitamin daily while taking alli capsules to ensure adequate absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta carotene.
Losing weight is easier with support. That's why the alli program includes an individually tailored online plan called myalliplan. myalliplan offers free individualized support and was developed by nutritional and weight management experts who understand the struggle to lose weight. When you register with myalliplan, you receive: A customized online action plan. Personalized emails that deliver lessons about meal planning, managing hunger, dealing with setbacks, and making food and lifestyle changes to help you succeed. Menus and shopping lists. Online tools to record your progress. Connection to a network of other alli users. You may have a better chance of success when you enroll in a customized, interactive support plan. If you decide that you're ready to commit to the alli program, purchase the alli starter pack. This package contains portable reference guides to help you follow the alli program. The starter pack also includes a carrying case, called the alli Shuttle, to make it easy to take your alli capsules with you. The in-pack guides, together with myalliplan, deliver the support to help you reach your weight loss goals, and teach you how to eat healthy for a lifetime.
Losing weight doesn't have to be a bland, tasteless affair. With help from the alli program, you can learn how to create healthy and flavorful meals. So instead of that high-calorie, high-fat cheeseburger, try a juicy turkey burger that's loaded with flavor and low in fat.

5.0 out of 5 stars WAR ON FAT, April 13, 2010

By

This review is from: Alli 170 Count Refill Pack (Health and Beauty)

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in February, 2007 approved orlistat capsules (Alli 60 mg. capsule) as an over-the-counter (OTC) weight loss aid for overweight adults, kudos to Bush administration. Prior to this date, orlistat was marketed only as Xenical, the prescription form of the same drug, orlistat. The FDA did a fine job in making orlistat an OTC, ahead of the EU, for instance. Orlistat works by inhibiting the fat-busting enzyme called Lipase in the gut. The "unbusted" fats cannot be absorbed by the body and they find their way into the toilet. In doses of 120 mg. three times a day, 30% of eaten fats will go into the sewer. Less than 2% of the drug gets absorbed in the body so more than 98% of the drug passes in the stools, mostly unchanged. Still not happy?

One might ask what happens to the bad fats in the blood, e.g. bad cholesterol? One can expect lowering of bad cholesterol aka LDL, the lethal variety that makes widows. It does not affect the good cholesterol aka HDL by much but the HDL gets up by exercising, the pill is a good adjunct to 'other things' such as eating healthier foods, not drinking alcohol, exercising, not smoking etc. The pill is taken only with a fatty meal. In other words, if you are eating an apple for lunch, there is no need to waste a capsule there. Many feel that this is an "expensive" capsule. I agree. The sponsor is making a killing over some lousy fat fed to people by way of fast foods, another killing in the first degree. Frankly, a Big Mac should come with one free orlistat. In the global economy, one orlistat should cost no more than 12-15 cents, in my view and they still will make decent profits. I do not know when the patent is up for the generics to plunge in. Hopefully soon.

Administration

Administer during or up to 1 hour after each main meal containing fat.

Precautions:

Fat soluble vitamins also 'get lost' in the process. A multivitamin containing the fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) should be administered once daily at least 2 hours before or after Alli. Vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is a common condition as it is (thanks to the deep freeze winters). Orlistat will make this worse. This is especially important in women and is totally preventable. Lack of Vitamin D also causes muscle incoordination besides thin bones thus increasing the chances of fall and fracture, not common knowledge.

Orlistat is a God sent pill for Type II diabetics, mostly obese. Therapy modification is recommended w a doctor.

Orlistat is not recommended for use during pregnancy/lactation and transplant patients.

Drug interactions

If you are taking blood thinners, transplant drugs, or some other prescription meds, you need to talk to your doctor for adjustment. Your pharmacist has a list of these for free.

Drink plenty of water when on orlistat to keep kidneys flushed well.

For obese kids over 12, consult with your doctor.

Orlistat thus appears to be a safe drug, no lawyer has collected anything on it that I am aware of. Now, that is something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alli -- seems to work, but look out for those "treatment effects", December 30, 2010

Alli (Orlistat) apparently works by blocking absorption of some of the fat in what you eat. It seems to work, as we've seen some weight loss with it, but if you overdo it on the fat consumption (or even eat a "normal" amount of certain particularly fatty foods), you will experience the euphemistically named and decidedly unpleasant "treatment effects". I will not describe those here -- you can read about them elsewhere -- but I will say that it takes some care and commitment to avoid them. The starter pack instructions do make all of this clear, but until you experience Alli's "treatment effects", you really can't appreciate them.
