    Taking Alli Pills

    Reply

     I have a question:   If the pills affect you when you reach 15 grams of fat.  Then why do I need to eat 19 grams of fat per meal.  I can't deal with treatment effects when I am at work.  I have no time for it.  So I haven't taken them yet, because I am scared to do so.  I work at a resturart and durning the lunch and dinner rush I can't just run to the bathroom.  Please advise

     Hi Cheryl,

    You shouldn't have any treatment effects if your plan calls for 19 grams of fat. I was doing the 1800 calorie plan when I first started and didn't have any effects.

    The alli meal plans are based on 30% total calories from fat.  Fifteen grams is the average amount of fat in the four levels.  In your case 19 grams per meal is 30% of your total recommended intake of 1,800 calories.

    Please let me know if you need anything else.
