Editors' Top Pick of 2012

Do we ever rate a diet pill positively? Yes. Although it's rare, there are a few diet pills that meet our strict recommendation requirements. Why don't we recommend Alli? We're looking for clinically proven ingredients, money back guarantees and low prices. Apidexin is our favorite. You can read our review or go to the official site.

Alli

If you’re looking for a diet pill based on reputation alone, then Alli appears to be one of the best formulas on the market. A reduced-strength copy of Orlistat (a prescription weight loss pill),

Alli has been used by countless consumers worldwide as a way to treat obesity. It’s been promoted by magazines, commercials, and celebrities, and will supposedly help you reach your weight loss goals safely and effectively.

Alli’s biggest claim is that it is FDA approved. Manufacturers this up a lot on their website, luring costumers into thinking that just because a pill is “safe” that it can help you lose weight without the negative side effects.

However, if you were to search Alli’s website further, you probably wouldn’t find any incredible claims that would make it stand out from any other diet pill on the market. One of the most substantial claims is that this pill, “could help you lose 50 percent more weight than what you are losing on your current diet,” -which isn’t bad, but it’s not knock you out of your seat material either.

So the real question is, can Alli live up to its reputation as a diet pill? Or is it nothing more than a placebo with amazing marketability? Let’s dig a little deeper to see what we can uncover about Alli’s performance.

Side Effects of Using Alli

For an FDA approved diet pill, Alli has some surprisingly unpleasant side effects. Alli works by inhibiting the absorption of fat in the stomach, so this fat has to go somewhere right? In theory, the fat will be passed through the digestive system along with any other unnecessary dietary waste.

However, manufacturers warn us that the side effects of Alli are (1) Gas with oily spotting, (2) diarrhea, and possibly (3) anal leakage. Although these symptoms may be mild for some, you might want to see if the weight loss benefits of Alli outweigh the extra time you’ll spend in the restroom.

Pros

FDA approved
Affordable low price
Wide Variety of Consumer Reviews
Can decrease appetite

Cons

Gas with oily spotting, Diarrhea, Anal Leakage
Expensive
NO FAT BURNERS
NO GUARANTEE

Should You Try Alli?

It’s #6 on our $30-$50 range diet pills, but we are reluctant to recommend this product wholeheartedly due to the negative side effects. By inhibiting the absorption of dietary fat, Alli can help you keep off a little extra weight gain, and by naturally cleansing the digestive system, Alli has the potential to give you that satisfying drop on the bathroom scale.

Unfortunately, these results will only be temporary, and much of the weight you lose will be in water not fat. Although many consumers have successfully lose weight with Alli and its ingredients are relatively safe for use, much of the fat you burn will depend on your current diet and exercise levels not Alli’s formula.

Additionally, using products such as Alli can increase your risk of dehydration. Be sure to drink plenty of water while using Alli and to consult your doctor before adding this, or any other product, to your current health regimen.

2012 Consumers' Choice

Why do consumers love Fenphedra? Because it really works. In fact, Fenphedra outperforms Apidexin in every category except safety and price. However, due to its powerful ingredients, Fenphedra is not for the average person looking to looking to lose a few pounds. Only consider it if you have 10, 20 or 30 plus pounds to lose.

Alli is HORRIBLE! I am very devoted to losing weight. I began working out 6 days a week a few weeks ago and wanted something to push my progress along. I purchased the over-priced Alli. The first two days, I was excited as I did not experience any “Treatment effects,” as they like to call them. It says not to eat more than 15g of fat per meal, I ate 10g or less. No butter, no oil and little to no carbs. Well, come day three I was cramped up, spotting red oil and constantly going to the bathroom. I DO NOT recommend it to anyone unless you are obese and eat WELL over 15g of fat per meal and do not have to leave your home.. and if you don’t mind frequent, painful cramps and trips to the toilet.

Instead, try Clinitrim-5, it’s working out GREAT for me.
Keep in mind no supplement is going to work without diet and exercise. You have to make a lifestyle change and REALLY want it. Whether you want to lose weight for vanity or you want to cut the risk of diabetes and heart disease, I highly recommend clinitrim with exercise.

I seen the commercial and a pharmasist highly recommend this product alli, but now I read these comments and I’m discouraged about this product, so what I’m looking for is a diet supplement with absolutely no caffine in it because I can’t have this in my diet at all, due to the medicine I’m on, and I’m wanting to loose alot of weight because I’m getting married and I want to look my best and stay looking that way and healthy as well. I take a centrum vitamin everyday and it’s good for you, but makes you hungry alot. Can any one help me, with a FDA approved product that’s safe, and affective. I don’t have a problem with walking as an exercise because I love to walk and ride my bike, but the pounds gotta come off and stay off. If anyone can help out and it’s affordable please e-mail me I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you, Lisa Sparks

I have used Orlistat ( another name for Alli) for 6 months on perscription from my Doctor. It does take some getting used to.. Sometimes I get the stomach cramps and have to get to the loo quickly, but this in only in the mornings and once “been” I am fine.. I am hopeless at dieting but needed to loose weight due to my high blood pressure. I lost 20 pounds in 6 months and did not change a thing in my diet. My persciption was for 120 mg and I see Alli is only 60 mg.. worth thinking about.. Yes it is expensive to buy 120mg even in Spain it was 90 euros.. for 84. My pharmacy says it ost them £35.00. Good luck stay by a loo in the mornings..

@stephanie..it is horrible for YOU and that does not mean that it is horrible to everyone,many people have used it and they say it works with diet and exercise,i have been doing research on Alli so that i can be safe,not to use risky drugs…how can we be sure that Clinitrim-5 company did not pay you to advertise for them, so long as it is approved to be safe and authorised..thumbs high and i am going to try it. Because i know i will be safe,with bowel movements you can use tampons or put dypers and am sure if u take less fat it will not ossur.It is pathetic this website recommends the dangerous drugs with ephedra posing death risks,heart attacks in the name of faster weight loss, it is better Alli the slow and sure way.. than others and you die suddenly..make a wise choice.I will try Alli atleast 1month or so.Good luck, remember once you become a statistic of the ephedras.ur dead and you will be no more..think wise, the safer approved way.

This product did help me lose a few pounds, thanks to the uncontrollable diarrhea and then the fear of eating ANYTHING if I was going to be in public. I work nights as a nurse and I was afraid to even take this and go to work because I couldn’t always run for the bathroom the minute the urge hit or guarantee that there wouldn’t be someone already in there when I got there. I even broke down and started wearing pantiliners to protect from “unexpected treatment” side effects. It just wasn’t worth it even though I am desperate to lose about 40 lbs. If you live a life wear the unexpected cramps and diarrhea can be answered in a timely manner, then this might be okay for you. It will force you to eat healthier. Any fat is a no-no. I’m not saying this is a bad product, it just wasn’t the right one for me. Good luck and stock up on the pantiliners!!

Alli is one of the worst things you can take. It may not be harmful, but unless you can live your entire life at home next to a toilet and washing machine it is just not worth taking. If you plan on leaving for the day, forget even starting it. I found it to make me very gassy and spotting is an understatement. If you happen to pass gas while taking it, you will require a clothing change. All of the undigested fat passes through your body and collects, once you pass even the tiniest bit of gas, it all comes pouring out since there is nowhere for it to go. It is guaranteed to ruin outings, trips, and clothing. Some people are sure to argue with me on my statements, but if they have taken Alli they know exactly what I am talking about. If they continue to argue with me on it, they must enjoy the greasy feeling and anal leakage. I am 23 and can handle quite a bit, but if you are middle aged, embarrass easily, or entering the dating world please save yourself and don’t bother with this. Go to a gym instead or drastically reduce your caloric intake.
