Customer Reviews of Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 60-Count Starter PackCustomer Review: MY ORLISTAT REVIEW Summary: 4 Stars
I like this product and think it's much better then all the other stuff i've seen out there. You see, if you take it and don't change your eating habits or exercise, then you are more than likely to not see any change and if you do, it wont be a huge change and it will be very slowly over a long period of time. However, if you DO exercise and change your eating habits (even just a little..im not saying you go to the gym twice a day and eat only veggies), you will see a definite improvement.
Let me put it this way... A lot of us dont exercise because we are impatient with the results...so we do it a few times and then give up. However think about it; If we went and exercised a few times and DID see results already, we would be motivated to not give up and keep on exercising. And the more you do that, the more you see pounds shed and you start to feel that starting to eat healthy long term for once wouild actually be worth it now.. So in my opinion..it's worth it. Having a medication that makes the results of exercising and eating healthy show up faster and more dramatically is a big motivator for people who have been putting off loosing weight too long. Look- you're either going to stay fat and keep getting fatter....or you're going to stand up and decide to do something about it by eating healthier and doing more exercise. So if you choose the later, the sooner you do it, the easier AND if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it full force to keep the motivation up to make sure you KEEP doing it. So I think that this pill is great. NO it's not some magic pill that makes the pounds fall off. But if you are willing to spend the money to buy the pill and you want to be skinnier..then you should be willing to change your eating and activity habits a little bit to make it happen. So if you aren't going to do this, dont waste your money on the pill because it wont do anything but keep you from getting fatter as fast. But if you're the kind that wants to try but think you might give up...there's no better time then now and here is the motivation you've been waiting for... If you're gonna do it, you might as well do it right. And you might as well do it now beacuse the longer you wait, the harder it will be (age and more fat both make it harder and then youll just use that as more of an excuse not to) so stop procrastinating, buy the pill and make the changes. Youll feel great metally and physically. It's VERY worth the time, effort, and money. There are a few side effects that happen in the bathroom, but it's not THAT bad, and it's a small price to pay for being skinny again ;)
What I did personally-
A: MEDICATION - I took the pill(60mg) 3 times a day.
B: DIET - To eat healthier without completely changing my entire life and without ruining eating completely (common...everyone enjoys their food), I cut back on food intake. The hunger feeling was only there for the first couple days and then after that, it goes away completely so it's just a matter of sticking it through (you're not gonna die of starvation..so it wont kill ya to just suck it up for a couple days!) I then made sure to cut back on one very fattening thing; sugar. I did things like cut back on stuff that has sugar in it that isn't junk food (like ketchup..etc) and then for actual sweets, I was only allowed one small sweet thing a day (like 1 cookie) and NO MORE regular soft drinks (so i drank tea with splenda...etc) Also, I made a list of all the 'healthier' foods that i don't despise and replaced everything that i would have eaten and then later felt guilty about with things on that list. I stopped snacking and when i did, it was a few wheat pretzels or fat free yogurt/pudding or carrot sticks or something like that.. To cut carbs, when i ate meat, i stopped eating it with bread... like chicken instead of a chicken sandwhich or a burger without a bun. And when i did eat things with bread, i tried to eat it with grain or wheat.
C: NUTRITION - Nutrition is important because some of it helps you loose weight, some of it helps you feel healthy so that you can exercise to loose weight, and some of it makes sure you stay healthy while you are cutting back on food intake to loose weight. I took a once a day pill for women that had the daily dose of LITERALLY every single thing that you basically need. I also did a LOT of scientific research to look at herbal supplements that had been PROVEN to help weight loss by giving energy, increasing fat burning or blocking, fascilitating digestion, suppressing appetite, and causing water loss. I took a few of those just for that extra edge. Here's a list of the ones i found that were proven in tests to be helpful....
Fat burning/blocking..etc; 7-keto, yerba mate, coleus forskohlii (forskolin), pyruvate, chromium, green tea (egcg), and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
Energy; bitter orange (citrus aurantium or synephrine)and guarana (guaranine).
Helping Digestion; aloe vera, senna (sennosides), fiber, cinnamon, and fennel.
Diuretic effect; dandelion leaf
Topical toning/skin tightning; ab-solution plus and this toning lotion made by jergins
C: METABOLISM - To speed up my metabolism (which is very important), first of all I stopped eating late at night (i couldnt eat anything within 4 hours of bed time). I also started eating 5 really small meals instead of 2-3 big ones, which really helped a lot. And I made sure in the morning, i always got my metabolism going by eating something very small like fruit.
D: CRAVINGS - For cravings (cause we all know that's one of the hardest things to not give in to and it's also what makes most people give in and give up on their diets), I did things like chew gum or suck on mints if i wanted something sweet. Most importantly, I allowed myself have my favorite weakness (choco icecream) once a week, but only as a reward, which means if i hadn't followed my diet/exercise plans that week, i couldnt have my treat. This was good because it wasn't as hard to keep things up because it wasn't like i cut everything i loved cold turkey..and it also gave me something to look foward to which was motivation to keep going, and it was a reason to keep to my plan completely because if not, i couldnt get it!
E: EXERCISE - I put a treadmill in my living room infront of the TV. When i would normally be sitting on the couch to watch TV, i instead would be WALKING on the treadmill.... I tuned out and would forget that i was even walking! It's like i didnt even know it. If i was tired that day, i wouildnt use it as an excuse to not do it, but would in stead just walk very very slowly. This helped keep my metabolism up and it also burns fat/calories (more than you'd think). I also made sure that everytime i talked on the phone for a while, i was walking on the treadmill the entire time too... Every other day i did a work out video. It's one of those 15-20 minute work outs. The workout is cardio, which burns fat, and to add some toning benefits to it, i put on 2lb weights on each ankle and wrist. The 2 lb weights stayed on all day, everday (i forgot they were even on...and noone else could see them to know either) and a lot of times i would wear them while watching TV on the treadmill too... And lastly, i just stopped being so lazy and procrastinating with anything physical. For example, if i heard the dryer buzzer go off, i made myself get up right then and there to go do the laundry...If the phone rang, i got up to answer it. If i wanted something downstairs, i didn't wait till the next time i went down for something else...if i ever needed something, that day i would run to the store just go get it... and 2 other things; I ALWAYS parked in the back of the parking lot so that i would be forced to walk to and from my car every time i went someplace (Even though i didnt want to..like if their were spaces closer i passed them and if their wasn't i wouldnt wait for a closer one like i used to), which was really good if i went out to eat because i would have to walk after i ate (activity after eating is smart because it speeds up metabolism). I also stopped going to drive thru's and walked in instead..(a little goes a long ways! every bit counts~) Lastly, I stopped taking elevators and escalators completely and ALWAYS took the stairs...
So these changes combined with Orlistat made me loose MUCH more weight MUCH faster than i would have if i would have done all this and not taken the medicine...Therefore i'd have to recommend it to anyone that wants to loose weight because it's a great motivation to do it. I hope i've helped some and good luck out there.... it DOES pay off, both mentally and physically. SO order you're today and make some changes.. it's worth it~ =)

|  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.
