Has anyone tried Alli?

I went to the website and thought this looked pretty good! Anyone tried it?

My sister tried it. She didn't like it. She said that when you eat fatty foods, it makes you get diarrhea and fart a lot. The farts have this oily discharge, so she said she had to wear a pad but further back all the time. lol. But I guess if you stick to a healthier diet then it should work for you. I have been taking Slim Quick. I like it so far.

I have and I have one word for you - DON'T!!!!

I have. I used it for a short time after I joined Weight Watchers last year to "jump start" my progress. Between Alli and WW, I lost over 50 lbs. Of course, the week I got my 50 lbs. loss award from WW, I found out I was pregnant....

The side-effects are legendary and true, but most people that stay within the prescribed fat-consumption guidelines don't experience them. That's the kicker, though - you have to keep yourself honest otherwise you WILL experience "treatment effects".

I didn't use it for weight loss as much as I did to keep me honest with my WW plan at the beginning. The fear of experiencing a "treatment effect" was a great motivator for me to stick a low-fat plan, and it did help me lose a bit more than I would have lost without it. Once I got down to "overweight" (vs. obese) standards, I quit taking it and just opted for WW.



If I have problems dropping the weight after this next one, I'll go back to Alli & WW after I ween Itty-bits. It's not for everyone, but it worked for me.
