The New ALLI Diet Pill

Is It For You?

If you are curious about the new weight loss pill called Alli, you're not alone. It's not often that an FDA approved safe diet pill comes on the market. So what's it all about, and how does it work?

The active ingredient in alli attaches to some of the natural enzymes in the digestive system, preventing them from breaking down about a quarter of the fat you eat. Undigested fat cannot be absorbed and passes through the body naturally. The excess fat is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it in the toilet as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza.

Alli only works on enzymes that break down fat, not on other enzymes. So carbohydrates and proteins are not affected. You still absorb those nutrients. But, since fat grams have more than twice as many calories as carbs and proteins, alli capsules work on the worst offenders - the calorie-dense fat grams.

Alli is safe when used as directed - it works only in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. That means you won't feel:

• jittery effects
• sleeplessness
• a racing heart

• What are treatment effects?

  alli™ works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes, known as treatment effects. You may get:

  • gas with oily spotting
  • loose stools
  • more frequent stools that may be hard to control

  What to expect

  The excess fat that passes out of your body is not harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Eating a low-fat diet lowers the chance of these bowel changes. Limit fat intake in your meals to an average of 15 grams.

• This is why they say you MUST be committed to following a low fat diet plan!
