 worst experience I ever had August 15, 2010

I bought Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 90-Count Starter Pack in Dec,2009 and kept track of myself on their website before they changed it. I religiously followed the instruction, ate 1000 calories per day(all healthy food) and worked out 45mins(7 days non stop). I lost about 14 pound in a month, I think it was because of my diet/excercise, not because of the pills. In that month, I had orange oil/fat in my poop and stain on my underwear(it is very hard to wash). The most horrible thing was that I had 18 days period, which never happened in my life. My period is always 7 days every month, with that much food I ate, my period should be less/shorter, but that wasnt the case. My period was more than usual. Then I stopped taking the pill, my period became usual again.(hooray) Also, I lost all my records due to the website change, I couldnt find any useful forum posts on their forum anymore. People actually complained a lot on their website, a lot of women had menstrual problem(like period disappear, or longer period).But all those postive/negative comments were gone =/
So after 7 months, I started my diet again with this pill, I took it twice a day(lunch and dinner) and I used calorie count to help tracking calories intake. The same diet and work out routine, I lost about 6 pound in half month. This time my period came 10 days earlier, I bled for 2 days, then it stopped. After 1 more day, it started again,then I had severe cramp with diarrhea, the pain was unbearable(the feeling is like you took multivatamin with empty stomach), my colon was painful and my belly was bolated. I was laying on the bed, not matter how I adjusted my position, I felt horrible. After 4-5 hours, I finally fell asleep, the dull pain was still there. This morning, I decided to write this review to share my experience, now I still feel light headed and bloated. I know all the suffering was from the alli pill, because my husband ate the same food as me, he was fine. I suffered the pain for 4-5 hours straight in 20mins after I took the pill.
It might work for you, but alli is not for me. I dont think it is worthy for me to sacrify my health for the trouble and suffering. I would rate it 0 if I can. Sorry for the grammar/spelling mistakes.
 Is a great product, but you MUST follow the plan EXACTLY. August 2, 2010

Please take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. Alli is a very usefull tool for weight loss if you follow the plan to a "t" and do EVERYTHING that the books that come with it say to do. You will not have "treatment effects" if you do it the right way. If people actually read the liturature that comes with it they would know this. You MUST not go over the reccomended amount of fat grams for each meal and snacks. You cannot "save up" the fat grams and eat a whole days worth at one sitting thinking you will not have problems. There is no way to eat high fat foods while taking Alli and not have "treatment effects", you will never be able to eat cheeseburgers while on Alli and not have a problem, even if you starve all day. The Alli plan tells you to keep a food diary for EVRYTHING you eat. If people are just writing down estimates or not writiing down anything at all thinking they can remember everything you ate, you most likely have "treatment effects". You have to be diligent about how you eat and 100% certain about the calrories and fat grams in everything you eat. Here is the bottom line, Alli is a great tool, Alli really works like it says it does. The people who say they had problems with it were not as diligent as they should have been in follwing the plan. For instance a person may very well have eaten Chicken and veggies for dinner, but they failed to include the fat grams of the oil they cooked it in. This happens alot with resatuarant meals. You have no way of knowing for certain if there has been extra fat added to a dish unless you cooked it yourself. I can say with almost 100% certainty that all of the people who claimed to have "treatment effects" despite following the program are not being honest with themselves. Alli is a tool, not a magic bullet and it is ALOT of work, but it is worth it! On side note, you dont have to give up the foods you love on Alli. With a little bit of searching online, it is possible to find low fat versions of many of the foods you love! Be creative, you probably can come up with your own low fat versions of your favorites!
 Awesome Alli August 1, 2010

I've been taking this... for some time now near to a year now... and I love this stuff!
I can honestly say that these little pills work. I'm a housewife, and busy chasing three kids (Unfortunately, and I'll be 100% honest here) other then chasing the boys, I may get an hour or two of real exercise a week, and in making sure my boys eat right, I don't always get to monitor my fat intake and the like... but! These pills help with that!
I've lost up to forty lbs total while using these (Pregnancy weight and then some!) and as of yet, have not had an explosive amount of fat pew forth from my back end like some people complain about.
The trick of these things is, is the same as when teaching a kid to potty!When you get that UH OH feeling.. GO! If you feel like you need to fart, GO TO THE BATHROOM! It's not all that hard!
The best part of these: You don get the jitters like you do from most 'diet' pills! These are just about the best things you can use!
ALLI IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 July 24, 2010

I HAVE BEEN TAKING ALLI FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OF THE GAS PROBLEMS OR THE LEAKAGE I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE TAKING ABOUT. WHEN YOU USE THE RESTROOM YOU CAN SEE THE FAT THAT YOUR BODY DID NOT ABSORB. I HAVE BEEN ON A LOW FAT DIET AND THAT COULD BE WHY I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS.
 Doesn't work for me! July 20, 2010
