I am scared when I read about the TE's. I started last night with a pill but no bad side effects. This AM, I had a bowl of raisin bran and skim milk. As I did not eat too many fat grams, I did not take a pill. Is this correct?  Should I take a pill only when I eat 15-16 fat grams with a meal or thereabouts? Must I take in that much fat with a meal- I can eat very lean when motivated as I am now. Mostly, I worry about the TE's and that keeps me from eating badly.

 I have been taking Alli for a week and I have been taking a pill with every meal no matter what amount of fat you eat.  I think it will cut 25 % of the fat you eat even if it is 10 grams or 30. I have only had the TE's once but Made the mistake to not take the books with me for work one day but I have lost 7 pounds the first week. 

take the alli nomatter how little fat you eat, i would not eat more than 15 grams of fat, or you run the risk, but if you only eat 2 grams of fat, take the pill anyway
