Hi, I just started on Alli but I am a bit confused as to when to take the pills. Do you take them before, the meal or after? And how long before or after. I have been taking them after, like 30 minutes after I eat and have felt very little. No TE at all. I have been on the pills for two days. I just want to make sure I am taking them right.

Hi adya29,

Alli can be taken up to 1 hour before, during or up to 1 hour after a meal a be effective.  It is suggested to be taken with a meal as a reminder to take the dose and as a motivator to stay within your caloric and fat gram guidelines.

You have been taking Alli as suggested.  You are not experiencing any effects since you are eating within the guidelines and doing it right. Soon you will start seeing and feeling the changes on your body.

Hope this helps.

 THOSE ROUND ORANGE CIRCLES ARE TREATMENT EFFECTS.  USUALLY A SIGN THAT YOU CONSUMED TOO MUCH FAT IN A PREVIOUS MEAL OR EXCEEDED YOUR DAILY FAT THE DAY BEFORE.  IT IS A SIGN THAT ALLI IS WORKING!
