Summary: For me - - IT WORKS
Comment: Many reviewers bluntly conclude a product is bad or otherwise ineffective when it doesn't work for THEM. Keep in mind it's individual experience being related, which may not be the same as for others.
That said: WOW. Alli works for me. I've used it a full month and intend to continue. I've been 50 pounds overweight for the last 10 years, and for the first time since that weight gain, my clothes are fitting better all over.
Some of this was accomplished, as some have noted, from sheer "Fear Factor" of the dreaded side effects. That said - - even when I eat a little too much fat - - effects are not anything like those described in wonderfully gory detail by others. Individual experiences vary. I simply follow eating suggestions as proscribed, which are simple: eat sensibly and control fat intake at a given sitting.
I've achieved results without any additional exercise. This is nothing to brag about: I share it only to illustrate I've changed nothing about my eating or exercise habits except for taking Alli, so may therefore reasonably deduce Alli is the catalyst for the changes noted.
Modest yet consistent exercise along with simple dietary adjustments promotes healthier results, tones you up, and makes muscle and bones stronger. This will increase the odds of my keeping the pounds off after I reach a reasonable weight and cease taking Alli. So, I've just started a more proactive exercise regimen of mini-trampoline sessions plus light weight lifting to reap the clear benefits of aerobic and weight bearing exercise.
Look online and you may find concerns expressed about Orlistat use, yet consider the awful toll being overfat wreaks: Syndrome X and pre-diabetes, elevated blood pressure, poor lipid balance, stroke, heart attack...the list is long and unpretty...
I am happy with my choice because I've been unsuccessful many times before with weight loss, and now I'm seeing REAL results.
For some of us, Alli does help.
