The first OTC weight loss pill to be accepted by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) was Alli. All those attempting to lose weight would believe this to be terrific, a safe drug which could solve their problem. This weight loss pill actually uses the same substances as Xenical, however the quantities utilized being reduced. If you intend to lose weight with the help of Alli, you should know it has similar side-effects like those produced by Xenical and you will have to take $ 60 out of your pocket for it.
Despite its approval by the FDA, Alli still proved to trigger nasty side-effects on those who took it in order to lose weight, at least that is what the researches showed.
Alli has to be taken in the same manner as Xenical. The weight loss pill reacts in the following way: it blocks a quarter of the fat ingested, causing it to be eliminated. It is essential to know that some of the oil might not be entirely discharged through the intestines. This will trigger the unpleasant side-effect known as “oily stools” or “gastrointestinal discomfort” therefore those who are using this weight loss pill should wear dark-colored underwear. Alli also causes depression so, the best thing you should do in case you intend to try this weight loss pill is to do it under your doctor’s supervision.
Fats will no longer be absorbed into the body if you choose to take this weight loss pill. Do not forget that fatty acids such as Omega-9, Omega-6, Omega-3 are extremely important for the proper functioning of your body. The absence of these fats may lead to complications of the neurological kind. Further on, if there are no fats, the body will not be able to retain fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, E and D. Lack of vitamin D can cause serious conditions like depression, schizophrenia, diabetes, prostate cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis as well as many others. Lack of vitamin D is very common in the people living in the West, the U.S.A. included. Therefore, if you take this weight loss pill you will diminish vitamin D absorption in your body which will be more vulnerable to cancer.
In spite of all the negative side-effects presented above, there are still people who choose to try this weight loss program, whereas others are rather unbelieving, coming to the conclusion that they would rather lose weight improving their lifestyle.
Those who decide to try this weight loss pill are relying on the decision of the FDA, although there were situations in the past when a drug had been initially approved as safe by the FDA, the institution retracting the approval later due to the problems caused by that specific drug in time. Be very careful if you are using Alli as a solution to lose weight. Pay attention to possible side-effects, read again the ones mentioned above and stop taking this weight loss pill if you feel something is not right. The effects caused by Alli could be embarrassing, but also painful and very devastating for your psychological health.
Clinically speaking, this weight loss pill did not generate satisfactory results. Those who used Alli to lose weight were only 1 pound lighter at the end of one month. Not very encouraging. Such a weight loss could be accomplished much easier by drinking more water or by chewing gum. And if that is not enough, as soon as you stop taking such a weight loss pill, the lost pounds will get back where they were in the blink of an eye.
