Do you know what the research stated about people keeping the weight off after they stopped taking alli?  I do not want to take alli for the rest of my life,. Once I get to my goal/ideal weight and maintain healthy diet and exercise, will the weight return if I stop taking alli? 

Slow,steady weight loss is the healthy way to reduce body fat mass.  The alli program encourages life style changes that help achieve realistic goals toward improved health and maintaining that weight loss.  Orlistat doesn't affect your apetite or metabolism so once you stop taking the pill and continue with your diet and exercise program you should be ablet to sustain the weight loss. Research has shown a larger percentage of maintained weight loss after one used orlistat.

Hope this helps.
