Alli Review
Alli is an OTC (over the counter) diet pill. It is marketed as having the effectiveness of a prescribed weight loss pill without requiring a prescription. What makes this pill an over the counter alternative is the component called Orlistat. This is one of the major components of one of the most popular diet pills in the world, Xenical. This popular diet pill could also be purchased as an OTC diet pill. In fact, Xenical diet pill that was the basis for Alli is the first OTC diet pill in the US. The diet pill could be bought per bottle and a single dosage will cost the consumer between $1.00 and $2.00.
How does it work?
Most of the diet pills that we see in the market and prescribed by doctors are taken for the purpose of cutting that fat that enters your body. Alli on the other hand, takes on a totally different route in preventing absorbption of fat in your body. Alli influences the diet preferences of the user, eventually changing the eating habits of the user which is to stay away from fatty meals. The small fats that are already in the body or when fatty foods are taken by the user in the meal, they are also flushed out with the help of Alli.
Side Effects:
There are of course, side effects of this Alli. One of them is gastro-intestinal problems especially when fatty foods are eating by an Alli-user. The pill strongly reacts to any fatty foods and literally flushes the fats through the stool. That is why users of this pill will notice that their stool is very oily. Another known side effect of this pill is that aside from flushing out the fats in our body, other vitamins are jeopardized. Because of this side effect, it is highly recommended to take Alli with additional vitamin supplements to replenish the flushed out vitamins.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The biggest advantage of Alli is being an OTC diet pill. No need to reason out with your doctor why you need the particular type of pill. It is closely associated with the world famous diet pill Xenical. Alli is known to have half the power of the world famous pill with of course better price. You get to pay only at a maximum of $2.00 per intake.
On the other hand, the side effects of Alli are very uncomfortable for some. Maintenance of Alli is required indefinitely for those who want to stay in shape. Alli could let you lose a good amount of weight within six to eight months. Without the prescription, there is a great possibility that the fatty food habits may go back which makes Alli an indefinite diet pill.
