Alli

Made from Xenical, the Alli dietary supplement has had to be reduced to half strength in order for it to be allowed on the market. So yes, they may claim to be the only over the counter dietary supplement to be approved by leading health authorities, but the lengths it has gone to, to reach this status is questionable.

Alli is clinically proven to:

  • Prevent the absorption of fat by 25% by inhibiting the enzyme in your pancreas that is responsible for the breaking down triglyceride in your intestines
  • Reduces calorie intake

Medical Backing:

  • Is at the center of huge debate for containing Xenical (at half strength) which was formerly banned

Side Effects:

  • gas
  • bloating
  • incontinence
  • oily spotting (diarrhea)
  • muscle cramps
  • gall bladder problems

One of the many limitations we found with Alli is its one sidedness. Yes it is true – if your diet is well balanced with less than 15g of fat per meal, you will experience an easy weight loss of 1-2lbs a week.

Final consideration: there is nothing easy about having to worry about the movement of your bowels every time you go out, nor the problems of controlling your fat intake per meal.
