Does Alli Work?

it works i lost about 5 pounds but then i had to stop takeing it cuz the side effects are horribel i felt sick all the time like i had a tummy ace or something but the worst part was,ok it works by takeing all the fat out of the food you eat but it has to come out somewere right? so it comes out of your buttin like an oily fourm its so discusting and the more fat u eat the more oil comes out and its uncontrolabel i had to were a pad every day it was nasty!!

Gastric band: didn't work for many b/c they assumed they could go back and eat normally when they lost all the weight and took off the band despite being told otherwise, despite not being able to eat as much as they had before (so changing their eating pattern). They *knew* they couldn't overat yet something else subconcious told them otherwise (their emotional response).
So do I think Allie will work? no, for the exact same reason.
The pill may work for some but not for all, just the same as the gastric band, just the same as liposcuction and even many diets.
People need to deal with their own deep seated issues with food and learn it is a functional tool not something to party and pleasure themselves with (no that was not a pun! I meant that!!) people need to stop and take responsibility for their actions WHILST they are doing what they are doing. This is not impossible, its challenging but not impossible. If busy lives get in the way of eating more wisely then maybe those people need to accept defeat and cut back the business of their lives, share tasks. Governments and managers and companies also need to play a part eg in this respect stop expecting so much from people in the way of work so workers can gain some of their lives back, can watch their health, can have the mental energy for taking care of themselves.
So many problems and Allie is not the way out because unhealthy weight gain is not the problem,
because its only a symptom!

The Alli marketing tries to spin the, uh, leakage issue by saying that this side effect helps a person learn for the future that they've made a food choice that's too fatty- like shock aversion therapy, except you'll have to make all new friends & burn your house when you're finally skinny. It also doesn't seem to discriminate between supposed good fats and bad- so fish, avacado, & nuts are out I guess, but i think Special K is low fat, so go tango. Fortified vitamins probably taste better than the ones in plants and such anyway, eh? Also worth nothing that their former sponser Wynona Judd didn't have any success with it & has moved on to other, more successful albeit unconventional methods.

As with any type of weight loss gimmick (from diet pills to fad diets to good old fashioned diet and exercise and everything in between) you'll find people who love it, people who hate it, and people who are indifferent about it... But it's usually good to hear from the people who didn't like it because you'll learn what could be bad, you hear what could be good from the commercials.

That's great. I would love to hear about your experience with Alli

heh i've lost alot on alli more like 5 ibs or more a week , i like it

haha! But I don't like that it's just an ad for another diet pill. Still very funny, though! Anal leakage!!!

too funny!!! - thanks for the link Asithi

This is a very funny parody to Alli called “YourBuddi.” at http://www.yourbuddi.com/
Basically it is a butt plug for the “side effects” of this drug.
I thought it was hilarious when someone posted the link on the comments in my blog.
