Hi Lmb

My workmate started it last week. Dont know her results yet but she isnt having any problems with it. She was very nervous about taking it but all good. She says there is a funny after taste though from the pills and is totaly paranoid about the smell of her breath now

hi im about to start on alli but not sure what to eat ,i know its low fat but can anyone give me a sample menu of what i should eat daily im not too sure about the amount of fat grams in foods thanks !

Stoner

did they not give you a run down and sample menu in the chemist? I asked about it in the chemist beside me and I was told that they have to check your BMI to see if it is above 28 and give you a detailed run down before they sold it to you, she gave me a little booklet with at least one menu in it.

You do know what expected side effects are? It is a similar drug to Xenical

Basically, they work by stopping your body absorbing all the fat in a meal. The excess is excrete in your poo. It may also result in "Anal Slippage". Hence warnings to carry spare underwear and dark trousers.

Well today is day 5 of these things...and yesterday was day 4 & i got major nasty effect like what they talk about but it was only one incidence....I had eaten a waffle, fish cake & steamed veg so not sure if this triggered it or an earlier consumption! I have read on another board that a girl on day 5 of the tablets had the above but is fine thereafter. It was very nasty the effect - won't go into the detail but it was literally just one bowel movement affected!

I am taking alongside WW diet so most things are very low in fat or almost free from fat. My weigh in is tonight so will post tomorrow. For the last 2 weeks I have lost 1.5lb so if it does what it says on the tin my weight loss should be approx. 2.25lb.

how are ye all doing on the pills? any weight loss?

lmb

i slipped off them and this week lost 3.5lbs - only took 3 tablets this week after dinner. Week I took full supply and had drastic effects only lost 1.5lbs. My friend on them and took constant for the week and stayed same weight - on WW so eating very healthy also. Have a feeling they do not work with everyone

fishey babe

hi guys i have been on the alli now for about 10 days and also following WW diet
i have lost 5lbs but again dont know weather its the healthy diet or the pills !! i havent had any of the side affects thank god apart from wind !! for me i think the fear or eating too much fat is where alli is probably working for me will keep going for another while and see what happens talk to ye soon !!

Hi all

Thought id register here coz am interested in Alli and want more info? mostly can anyone tell me where i can get it in Cork and How Much?

I am on medi-lite at the moment and thats working for me, so thought id speed it up a small bit by trying this, am gettin a great buzz from loosing weight but am afraid that will stop and ill revert back to my own ways..

So id love to know more about it. ive tried Xenical, which i think is the same..

So id love to know the price if anyone can help and where to get it..
