If you have not heard about Alli from the recent media spotlight, Alli is an FDA approved over the counter weight loss product. Alli is not a dietary supplement; it is claimed to help you lose weight gradually; by working as a fat binder or fat blocker. Alli has only recently hit the high street and already caused a controversy.
An investigation by the Telegraph has revealed that High Street pharmacies are selling a controversial weight loss drug to patients who do not need it. Alli is supposed to be sold to those considered overweight or obese. The Telegraph found no questions were asked about weight or their BMI.
The Sun newspaper has also commented on the effectiveness of Alli for sustainable weight loss. They argue you still have to put in a real effort and must change the way you eat including burning more calories. Reviews of Alli from other sources outline how certain side effects such as loose motion, frequent bowel movements, gas, etc. if you do not observe the restriction of 15 gms of fat, may also occur.
We have little doubt that Alli will be a success on the high street given the demand for a quick weight loss solution. Obviously if you are able to adjust to the dietary limitations and put up with the side effects - "treatment effects" as the makers of Alli call them - Alli should be able to work for you.
There are other weight loss fat binders that are recommended that have no reported side effects. These should be considered in light of recent news.
