How Does Alli (Orlistat) Work?

03-08-2009

Alli has been hailed one of the most effective weight loss and diet pills that is available over the counter. Unlike many other diet pills that reduce cravings and hunger or are meant to act as meal replacements – Alli is able to decrease the amount of fat that is absorbed into the body from the food that we eat.

Up to twenty five percent of the fat that is found in the foods that we eat can be effectively blocked by Alli. Reducing the amount of fat that is consumed within the regular diet can accelerate the weight loss process. Combining this fact with a low fat diet increases the potential that the client can lose weight effectively.

Alli works efficiently to increase the amount of weight that can be lost through a regular low calorie diet program combined with exercise to increase the potential weight loss that the dieter can see up to fifty percent. What does this mean for the dieter trying to lose weight? The dieter can see ten pounds of weight loss through diet and exercise alone, as an alternative, a dieter using Alli while taking part in a weight loss and exercise program can lose up to fifteen pounds in the same period of time. There are a reduced amount of calories which are being absorbed into the body and therefore the potential for weight loss is increased.

It is important for dieters to realize that Alli is an effective weight loss tool but only when combined with a low calorie diet and exercise. One of the main principals of Alli is that it promotes a gradual weight loss of one to two pounds per week, which has been proven to be a healthy level of weight that can be easily maintained by small changes in the lifestyle including regular exercise of at least thirty minutes per day and a lower fat diet.

In order to maintain the effectiveness of Alli it is important to ensure that in each meal, there is not more than fifteen grams of fat which are consumed through the food. More than fifteen grams of fat per meal could leave the dieter running to the bathroom unable to control their loose stools, as a result of excess fat. Unfortunately, this is one of the adverse side effects of Alli and it can be difficult to prevent if the dieter is unwilling to make the lifestyle changes that are associated with taking the prescription diet supplement, Alli.

The average weight loss for patients that are taking Alli is fifteen pounds throughout the term that the over the counter diet pills are taken. This can provide a welcome addition to weight loss from diet and exercise alone. Therefore, taking Alli and making the changes in the lifestyle can create a weight loss program that is effective – but most of all safe.
