Your recommended target calories and fat are within range, 30% calories from fat is considered a healthy low-fat plan to provide a safe and healthy weight loss. However, If you are experiencing treatment effects, those are usually managed by cutting down the fat in your meals. First, spend some time reviewing the alli Calorie and Fat Counter, there are so many foods we consider low-fat or fat-free that have their own natural fat. For example, 1 hard boiled egg = 5 grams fat, hard pretzels (5 sticks) = 7 grams fat, plain pancakes (2- 4" each) = 10.9 grams fat, 1 med. piece grilled salmon = 12 grams fat. As you can see fat grams add up quickly! Also, try to log in your food intake at myalliplan.com, it will help you track your daily calories and fat to make sure you are not going over your target fat and calories.
Treatment effects can be managed with a low-fat diet, but to report these, please call 800-671-2554
