Question 1

can i use alli occasionally when i eat fat?

Accepted Answer

You might regret it: You should be on a low-fat diet when you use alli. If you take it with a fatty meal all the fat will pass through and you might wind up with an accident.

Question 2

what should the fat intake be while taking alli?

Accepted Answer

Alli: When taking Alli you should limit your fat intake, but not eliminate fat entirely or the Alli won't work.  The Alli works by by blocking fat absorption into the body so that you feel full.  So would eat a lower fat diet.

Question 3

have you recommended the diet fat blocker alli?

Accepted Answer

No: When on a diet rich in fats and you take pills to block fat absorption, you are likely to have problems controlling your bowel movements. You may find yourself in situations with the need for immediate access to a toilet and possibly even situations where you don't always make it in time.  Limit fats and increase proteins and don't take such medications.

Question 4

are there any health risks to the alli fat blocker?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alli is the over the counter & lower dose version of orlistat, a drug that blocks fat absorption from food. Common minor side effects include:fatty/oily stools, increase defecation, fecal urgency/incontinence...The drug can also cause malabsorption of fat-soluble vitamins, thus a multivitamin is usually recommended to take with orlistat. Major side effects of orlistat include: liver/kidney toxicity.

Question 5

what are the health risks to taking the alli fat blocker ?

Accepted Answer

Toilet problems: When on a diet rich in fats and you take pills to block fat absorption, you are likely to have problems controlling your bowel movements. You may find yourself in situations with the need for immediate access to a toilet and possibly even situations where you don't always make it in time.  Limit fats and increase proteins and don't take such medications.

Question 6

is it safe to take alli along with alpha t2 fat burner?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Yes, but the alpha-2 fat burner is of little value!

Question 7

will the alli diet pill also take away breast fat from.women because i want to lose weight but not loose my breast size?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: You can't spot-reduce fat so if fat loss occurs and will occur all over.

Question 8

can you take a fat inhibitor (xenical or alli) and a fat blocker, like chitosan supplements, together? how about an inhibitor and a fat burner?

Accepted Answer

Xenical: is FDA approved. Most so called burners are not FDA approved hence evidence for thier use,adverse effects and drug interactions are limited

Question 9

is alli safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes: For patient's who took orlistat (alli) in the first year, they roughly had a 9-10 kg weight loss (10% of baseline weight).

Question 10

can you take alli as once offs or does it need to be taken continuously?

Accepted Answer

Diet Pills: I would recommend you not waste your money or your health on this product.  This, like much of the weight loss supplements market, is not a product that will lead you to real or lasting weight loss.  It will, however, postpone your making life changes and lowering your calories and sugars that you should not be eating.
