I honestly thought that those treatment effects that are mentioned on the guide couldn't happen to me.  The reason for this is because my meals do not consist of overly fatty foods. I'm not obese, but rather trying to loose 10lbs or maybe 15...I do exercise between 3-4 days a week and sometimes even 5, but for some reason my body just decided to quit on me...and I'm only 28!  That's why I've decided to take this pill, to help me loose the stubborn 10s. 

Has everybody experience the treatment effects? I mean the thing that comes out of your body is rather GROSS and weird... I mean is orange!  Why is it orange?  I've only been taking it for 2 days now, so I'm assuming that'll stop after the 48hrs.  Also, has it been worth it for all of you guys?  I've gotten cramps and I've felt a little bloated.....mind you, I do not go to the bathroom on a regular basis, so that fact that I've gone two days in a row is a miracle.  Can you guys share your experiences.  I think I would die if what happened to me after I got home would happen to me at work!!!  

I've been taking Alli since Monday and I'm still having the treatment effects. My understanding is that they don't go away and the more fat you eat, the worse the TE. So the best way to avoid the TE is to watch your fat intake.

I haven't weighed myself yet but am anxious to do so. I have had some cramping and bloating but continue to stick with the plan since I have so much weight to lose. If it helps get rid of the weight, then the TE are worth it to me.

 Good luck!!

i was already eating lite when i started. as a guy using this i was careful. the first few days there where many times i thought i was going to go on my pants. after the first few days it got better. after a week it was just about over. i do notice that if i cheat a little, say have a little candy or something not so healthy  i  will wind up in the bathroom.  i do avoid fat foods like burgers, pizza, anything with cheese or fat cooked meals.

 i don't know how long it will take to lose weight, i am almost at 3 weeks and haven't noticed weight loss but i think i am starting to notice a slight decrease in body fat. too early to be sure. if anyone can share weight loss or fat lose increase and how long it is taking i would like to hear from you.

 

It will clear up after awhile..ya I call them little orange fart drops..haha..hang in there!!

Hey! I also started and after just 2 days I'm noticing the orange stuff... It's weird. I feel bloated as well and have had cramps. I'm trying to lose about 15-20 lbs and I'm only 17 but for whatever reason i can't get these last lbs. off!! Good luck! :)

 You have to *count* fat grams and stay under 19 per meal.  I notice only a little orange on the t tissue occasionally.  I keep to about 36 fat grams per day.  I've been on target for going on 3 weeks...not a lot of weight loss...about 2 lbs.   Have to count every calories too. :)

 

You know, I just started yesterday and I was just in Target and had a stomach cramp that scared the .... well, I think you know... out of me!!!  I told my husband and two sons to check out and I'd be in the car.  I dealt with "fart" jokes all the home!   :)

I'm mostly just gassy (TMI..I know) and crampy with a little bloat now that you mention it.  Nothing weird in the toilet or anything like that YET, but the way I feel right  now I certainly don't rule it out.  I'm almost scared to have any type of TE for fear I'll be somewhere and be completely embarrased!  Thank the LORD I work from home!!  Oh, and can somebody answer the question why it's ORANGE??? 

 Thanks!! 

I started a low-fat diet one week before I started taking the pills and I lost 4 pounds!  I couldn't believe that.  Today is my first day taking the pills and I haven't experienced any treatment effects.  I think as long as I follow the plan, the effects will be rather low like they said in the books.  I don't know what the 'orange stuff' is but am also interested if anyone knows.

Good luck everyone!

I want you to know that the treatment effects can be avoided.  Before I started taking the pills I had already begun a lowfat diet.  You really have to keep close track of your fat grams.  Use the website to track what you eat.  Track everything!!!  I think you'll be surprised how those fat grams creep in there.  If you follow the low fat diet closely then you shouldn't have any TE.  You may still notice some orange drops in the toilet when you go to the bathroom but that is normal.  It's blocking the fat.  When I really watch my fat grams then I have zero problems.

I started watching my fat foods a cfew days before I started taking the pill. It hasnt been that bad for me. I have added exercise to my non fat diet and after taking alli for a week I have already lost 4 pounds. I used to drink alot of soft drinks daily and I have cut them down to 1 a day, so alot of that 4lbs. was probably fluid.

I have been on Alli since Monday and started having a little bit of oil discharge on the 4th day. Last night I went to PF changs and had a few glasses of wine and some chicken and 2 fried crab wontons. A few hours after I got home home I passed gas. I didn't feel anything come out, but I had the orange oil stain about the size of CD. I woke up this morning and have had major diarrhea all day and have crapped out so much oil. I really have an incentive to eat healthy now! I don't ever want to experience that again! I am just glad we have these message boards, otherwise I would have run myself to the ER!!

Deja Vu!!! I have been using this about a week and it is getting better but  I still have to be very careful. I don't want to sound gross, but be careful if you think you are just passing a little gas cause it may cause a lot of embarrassment. I literally "leaked" out an oily discharge on my pants at work. I had to go home!!!  I think that is one of the ways it helps you lose weight- between running to the bathroom and the use of public humiliation to reduce fat intake.....  Hope its getting better for ya'.

I lost 3 pounds the first week, and 2 the second week.  I only had TEs once, and I know exactly what I did wrong.  YOU HAVE TO COUNT EVERY GRAM OF FAT, and stay within your stage limit.  You also need to count calories if you expect to lose weight.  Good luck to everyone.

i have been taking alli for about a week and i haven't changed my diet too much and as unfortunate as this sounds i have not experienced any treament effcts. could someone tell me what i am doing wrong. i know it sounds like i want the TE but i feel like maybe i am doing the whole program wrong.

 

Weird, you know... I haven't had any TE yet... I've been taking the pills since wednesday, and I have pooped a little every day and felt really bloated, I mean REALLY bloated... almost like my period bloated... but no orange, no TE at all... I've even eaten a few things I knew I shouldn't. I hope it's working for me. Everyone has been saying that the first few days were like, YUCK, but nothing for me. hmm... ???
