ALLI
Alli must work, right? After all, it’s an over the counter version of orlistat (Xenical), a drug prescribed to treat obesity. And sure enough, it does work, kind of.
The studies that have been done so far are on orlistat, not Alli per se. By taking orlistat, you can lose 6 pounds a year. Not a lot. A reasonable expectation might be to lose 3 pounds a year by taking Alli.
How does Alli work? It interferes with the ability of your intestines to absorb dietary fat. What does that mean to you? Well, it means you might soil your underpants with the fat that doesn’t get absorbed by your intestines. Other charming side effects include flatulence, “accidents” (break out the adult diapers!), frequent bowel movements, and diarrhea.
Still interested?
Well, there’s one more dandy aspect to Alli. Because it reduces absorption of dietary fat, it also reduces absorption of the GOOD fat, the essential fatty acids. In other words, taking Alli will cause loss of vital nutrients.
Wonderful.
