The fact that you MUST eat a low-calorie, low-fat diet WHILE taking this drug is absurd.<br/><br/>Eating that way has been shown in studies to be very ineffective for weight loss and is not as "healthy" for you as we have been led to believe. I've blogged about that quite often here.<br/><br/>But anyone who wants to eat a low-carb diet, which is higher in fat and calories than what they are suggesting people do with this pill, will have MAJOR problems with Alli.<br/><br/>Why not just get on the low-carb lifestyle and stay there to see lasting weight control while enjoying healthy and great-tasting foods in the process?

Eating that way has been shown in studies to be very ineffective for weight loss and is not as “healthy” for you as we have been led to believe. I’ve blogged about that quite often here.

But anyone who wants to eat a low-carb diet, which is higher in fat and calories than what they are suggesting people do with this pill, will have MAJOR problems with Alli.

Why not just get on the low-carb lifestyle and stay there to see lasting weight control while enjoying healthy and great-tasting foods in the process?

So if you did that you would lose weight, but this will help with a few more pounds. Maybe it is not worth the $$, but just the plan might help people live healthier lives, which is good, right?

If you are not already on a super low fat diet, it makes life very unconfortable. The label warns of diarriah. Well, it's a bit misleading. It's more like foul smelling vegitable oil coming out of your back end. It's so liquid and oily that it's difficult to hold in and resulted in more than one "accident" during my two week trial. I don't recall having lost any weight. Even if I did, it wouldn't have been worth it. I am currently doing a low-carb diet with no diet pills. I've lost almost 70 pounds in six months. I'd imagine that since my diet is now a little higher in fat than before that if I were to add orlistat, I'd be unable to leave my bathroom.
