Alli Information:Alli is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product. But that's only part of what's different about Alli. First, Alli is not a miracle pill or a quick fix. Lots of other weight loss products promise results overnight. But Alli is based on good things like hard work, smart choices, and gradual weight loss. Second, Alli is a unique combination of a pill and a plan to help you lose even more weight than dieting alone. If you could lose 10 pounds through dieting alone, you could lose 15 with Alli.
But Alli only works if you work. And individual results may vary.
Alli is not for everyone, and it's only for you if you can commit to eating more sensibly and getting more physically active. Alli puts the focus on the most important element of success in weight loss:
You. You are the active ingredient.
How does it work?
The Alli capsule works by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat. When you take the capsule with meals, Alli prevents the enzymes in your intestines from digesting about one-fourth of the fat in your foods. Undigested fat can't be absorbed and passes through your body naturally. Which means your body can't store it as fat.
But it's not enough just to take the capsules. Alli is more than a pill, it's a comprehensive program: a pill with a plan.
What's the plan?
Everyone knows losing weight is easier with support. That's why the Alli program includes myAlliplan, an individually tailored online action plan developed by clinical experts who understand the challenge of losing weight. myAlliplan was specifically developed for use with Alli capsules.
Here's how the plan works: When you purchase Alli and register online with myAlliplan.com, you'll receive a customized action plan, based on confidential answers you provide in a brief survey. As you check in
, you'll get immediate feedback on your progress, plus specific guidance on next steps. You can also access recipes, menus, and interactive tools. And remember, this innovative support program is available online 24 hours a day.
Does Alli have side effects?
In many cases, that's up to you. Alli works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes, known as treatment effects.
You may have:
- gas with oily spotting
- loose stools
- more frequent stools that may be hard to control
Eating a low-fat diet lowers the chance of these bowel changes, especially if you limit your fat to 15 grams per meal.
While no one wants to experience treatment effects, you may think of them as a way to become more aware of what you eat. Minimizing treatment effects can be an incentive to keep from eating too much fat.

Managing treatment effects
Even before you begin taking Alli capsules, try following a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet so you can get used to making smarter food choices. Then choose a day to start with Alli capsules such as a weekend day so you can stay close to home if you experience a treatment effect. When you work with Alli, you can get the guidance you need to possibly avoid treatment effects altogether. And support is there right from the beginning with myAlliplan.
Begin with the Alli starter pack
When you're ready for Alli, look for the Alli starter pack. The pack includes Alli capsules and easy reference guides to help you follow the Alli program. The starter pack also includes a carrying case called the Shuttle, making it easy to keep your Alli capsules with you at every meal.
The portable reference guides, together with myAlliplan, deliver the support you need to help you succeed with weight loss and teach you how to eat healthy for a lifetime. Because individual results may vary, it will take hard work on your part. NOTE: This product cannot be shipped to Canada due to customs restrictions.
