this twin pack is the best price I've seen for Alli. It comes with two complete starter kits, that include travel pill holders, food journals, calorie guides, and full instructions. It is perfect if you have a buddy that wants to start this diet plan with you, or if you just want to save some money yourself. I've been using the Alli pills for a few weeks now, and have lost several pounds. I have not had any drastic treatment effects, but I find they do make me gassy. If I know I'm going to eat a fatty meal, I skip the pill for that meal, just in case. The thought of "oily discharge" will certainly keep most people from overdoing the fat, so that in itself is a good diet motivator. When you get your kit, you can register on the Alli site, where you can get more information and use the message boards for support.
Price update: The price on Amazon has gone up since I originally reviewed this product, however, they have several other sizes with reasonable and competitive prices, today, 1/19, the 150 size starter pack is $44.95, so it pays to check each size when you order for the best price.

Just want to share with all that this is a great price, can't be beat, however; expiration date is 08/2009 for those of you thinking about stocking up.

This 2-pack deal is the lowest price you will find for Alli. However, I encourage you to read on if you are unsure if Alli is right for you.

First, if you are looking for a magic pill to help you lose weight without controlling your diet and not exercising then save your money and just keep on browsing. This is not for you.

Alli was meant for people who need a "boost". For people who are really trying, but just need a little extra help to shed those pounds. It was not meant for people who eat high-fat meals and have no intention of changing their diet or exercise habits. This pill will work if you are willing to commit to it -- and that is the magic word.

Let's be serious here -- dieting works when you make a commitment between your body and yourself that you want to change. Dieting works when you break a sweat and get active; it works when you put down the Big Mac and pick up the whole wheat lean turkey sandwich; it works when you stop drinking soda and start drinking water and other healthy beverages. Dieting only works when you put the effort into it.

Yet, for some folks, they need a little help now and then. Maybe they need to break through a plateau they have reached, or they need a way to help them work through the long winter months when outside activity is not possible. That is where Alli comes in. Alli works by stopping your body from absorbing some of the fat in the foods that you eat -- not all, but about 25-30% of it. Since fat contains the most calories, it helps you take off weight by limiting the amount of calories your body actually consumes from the food you eat.

The side effects of Alli (which are well known by now) are common when you eat diets with too much fat in them. Pizza, greasy burgers and french fries are almost guaranteed to give you a "treatment effect" as they call it. I call it a motivator to not eat so much fattening food!

So if you are ready to change your life for the better I suggest that you take these steps:

1. Commit to yourself to do it.
2. Get active! 30 minutes a day.
3. Eat healthy. Don't starve yourself, but eat healthy meals and snacks.
4. Give the first 3 at least three months to work. If after 3 months you find you need an additional boost then purchase Alli.

I'm a pretty fit gym rat, 47 and I spend most of my time on the weight floor. When I look to loose some fat when it's summer or going on vacation I found Alli about a year ago and noticed I do not gain extra fat when I'm cycling through it even when my diet isn't that good. That let's me lose more fat from working out because my dietary fat is partially inhibited from being digested so I can work on my already existing fat deposits. But, talk about the potential for explosive orange oil being fired out your backside when you're using Alli. You have to be careful. It does create gas and can cause major "I gotta go" times so you want to be close a restroom. The worse problem is that you can feel like passing gas and next thing you know all that oil you're body didn't digest decides to make a grand entrance, and being it's oil, things can get very messy at the wrong time and place. For me, the benefits have outweighed the side effects it gives me and my girlfriend who takes it as well. If you can be diligent and wait until you are sitting down comfortably in a rest room to pass gas, then you can be prepared. Good thing is after you are off it for several days things return to normal and life is good. I certainly don't suggest it to be used for more than 4 to 6 weeks straight. For me I say it helps me drop an extra 5 lbs of fat during the period I use it, train and eat properly to lose weight compared to doing the same without Alli.

This product comes unpackaged?????? Very concerned I have not received good product from this company. One of the bottle tops was very sticky like it had been opened. Beware...would not recommend this Amazon vendor to save money...suggest you order directly from Amazon for safety and good product...or purchase from store directly.

This product is wonderful! I have been a user for several years. I used to get it through my doctor when it was prescription only. This is a great way to take the weight off if you follow a healthy eating plan, exercise and maintain a good sleep pattern.

Not as pic shown. Came WITHOUT BOX. Do not look retail item. Disappointed!!!!!!!!

I read an article that links Alli to
pre-cancerous lesions in the colons of mice.
According to Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, director of Public
Citizen's Health Research Group, "while it is not
known whether these pre-cancerous lesions will lead to
colon cancer, he and other cancer experts do not
believe use of the weight-loss drug is a risk worth
taking." I agree! I would rather find other ways to
lose weight than risk my life taking Alli!

I bought a bottle of Alli and it works for me for about one week. However, after losing about 3 lbs, I started to get really really hungry and it is very hard to control the hunger. I think this is my body's natural response for losing the 3 lbs. I guess it depends on how each person like to lose weight.....Alli would not do all the work for you, it only takes out 25% of fat intake, which is not much. You still have to control your food intake and exerise regulary. I think there are better diet pills on the market which would help to loss the weight faster and easier.

Also, Alli can be cheaper at Walmart. I found this dual pack (180ct) for only $39.99 at Walmart today.
