Start your weight loss journey with Alli, the only over-the-counter weight-loss aid containing orlistat. Alli works by blocking about 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed, helping you lose weight when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Remember, Alli isn’t a magic bullet. Consistent exercise (aim for at least 30 minutes most days) and a balanced, calorie-controlled diet are key. Expect to lose weight gradually; studies show users typically lose 5% more weight with Alli than with diet and exercise alone. This translates to roughly 5-10 pounds over several months for an average person.
Pay attention to potential side effects, primarily oily spotting, loose stools, and gas. These are usually mild and decrease as your body adjusts. However, consult your doctor before starting Alli, particularly if you have pre-existing health conditions like kidney or liver disease, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Proper medical guidance ensures safe and effective weight management.
