so i just started taking alli about 3 days ago.. it wasn't until the 2nd day that this started happening. its rather embarrassing. i haven't been eating  a lot of fatty foods, or so i thought. i dont know if my body is just clearing itself of the fat that was in  my body to begin with. please help. is there something else i can do to help it?

I know how you feel.   the first week was hard for me to adjust to the way I felt and going to the bathroom so much.   As you continue eating low fat foods you shouldnt have any side effects at all. (at least i dont)  unless you eat too much fat at a meal then the side effects will return.  Stick with it the pills really help.   If not only for the fact they block fat.  Im so worried of having side effects and a bad time It really keeps me focused on what I put in my mouth.

Best Wishes

You very well may have had excess fat in your system that was consumed before you started taking Alli.  Also, if you aren't filling out the nutrition log every day you may be consuming more fat than you realize.  The TEs will stop as soon as the excess fat is excreted from your body.  The key to success with Alli is to meet your daily calorie and fat grams without going over.  The best way to know if you're on target is to keep a daily log.  Good luck with implementing your new lifestyle change.  Let us know how you're doing.
