alli™ Orlistat 60mg Refill Pack 170 Capsules

What is alli™?
alli is the only over-the-counter weight loss aid that is FDA approved.

Your part and our part
alli is more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by making healthy, positive changes. With alli you can achieve safe, gradual weight loss - and learn smart eating and activity habits you can follow for a lifetime.

Lose more weight with alli
The alli program combines the only over-the-counter, FDA approved weight loss pill with an individually tailored support plan, to help you adopt healthy eating habits. When you take alli along with a reduced calorie, low fat diet, you can lose 50% more weight than with dieting alone. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds with diet alone, you can lose 15 pounds with diet and alli.

alli is safe. It's a fat blocker - not an appetite suppressant or stimulant - so it works in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. alli will not cause jitters, sleeplessness or a racing heart.

How does it work?

alli blocks 1/4 of the fat you eat
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 - so if your meal contains 16 grams of fat, alli will block up to 4 of them. And because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body naturally.

Does alli have side effects?

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". They 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 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.
