Let me explain how alli works and then you can decide if alli is the right plan for you. First of all, alli is not a magic pill, therefore alli is not for everyone who wants to lose weight.alli is for the committed consumer. Secondly, clinical studies (and there were hundreds in order to obtain FDA approval), have shown that people who were taking alli, lost up to 1 to 3 more pounds more (50% more) than people who were dieting alone.
FYI - The safety and efficacy of orlistat is well established. A higher dose of orlistat has been marketed as the prescription drug Xenical in the U.S. since 1999 and is supported by nine years of use in 145 countries. Orlistat experience in more than 25 million patient treatments and more than 100 clinical studies with more than 30,000 patients is unprecedented for a weight loss drug. One of these studies was the four-year landmark XENDOS trial conducted by its manufacturer, Roche. This study is the longest study ever conducted for a weight-loss medicine.
Also, obesity experts in the U.S. agree and widely available research demonstrates that moderate weight loss is beneficial. It is important to emphasize the health benefits of five percent weight loss and to change the perception of Americans who reject this as an insignificant amount of weight loss. Achievable, realistic weight loss of five percent can result in significant improvements in overall health, including decreased risk for heart disease. Slow, steady weight loss is the healthy way to reduce body fat mass. The alli program encourages the lifestyle changes that help achieve realistic goals toward improved health and maintaining that weight loss.
