Does Alli work?

Well, according to this editorial in the Lancet:

NO.

According to the big brains over at the Lancet:

• The average weight loss with alli is only 2.5 kg / 5 lbs per year.
• The cost of OTC alli is 6 times higher than the equivalent dose of prescription Orlistat.
• Both OTC alli and prescription Orlistat have the unfortunate side effect of steatorrhoea

And, for those of you that don’t know what steatorrhoea is:

• Steatorrhea is the presence of excess fat in feces.

As a result:

• Stools may also float due to excess gas
• Stools may have an oily appearance
• Stools may be especially foul smelling
• You may experience an increased number of bowel movements
• You may experience an urgent need to have a bowel movement
• You may experience an inability to control your bowel movements

And, as a result:

• You may experience an oily anal leakage or some level of fecal incontinence.

And, just to remind you:

The average weight loss with alli is only 2.5 kg / 5 lbs per year.

Good Luck!
