With the introduction of several new diet pills and slimming aids over the last few months the focus has drifted away from Alli.

Alli is still regraded as a bit of a benchmark – with such a wide array of commercially available weight loss products presenting too much choice there is a tendency to prolong a decision or make no decision at all.

Alli is still unique in so much it is the only diet pill that is FDA (Food and Drugs Agency) approved that is available to buy without prescription. This is a fact that no other over the counter diet pill can lay claim.

Alli Orlistat

Alli uses the same ingredient that is present in the most frequently prescribed diet drug (Xenical). This ingredient is called Orlistat.

Orlistat works by blocking the absorption a portion of fat from the food that you eat.

Alli (Orlistat) is powerful and it is suggested that it is only suitable for anyone who has a high BMI – of 28 or above.

The fact of the matter is that this advisory note has been somewhat diluted as of late and is more or less available to anyone.

Using Alli, it is suggested that that you can lose an additional Lb (pound) for every 2lbs that you lose by your own efforts. So in effect if you work with the product by eating sensibly then it is highly likely you will benefit more – up to 50% more.

Where To Buy Alli

Alli is available in most countries to buy over the counter. The two most popular countries where Alli is sold is the UK and North America, although in Canada it is not available over the counter as such it has to purchased online. Read about Alli Canada

Both the UK and the United States there is a more open policy. High street purchases of Alli is not entirely straightforward though.

It not a case of putting the product in your basket and having it rung through the checkout. Before purchasing, the in store pharmacist will have to make a quick assessment in the form of a questionnaire. After which a purchase can be made.

Although it isn’t often that an Alli purchase is refused – even for those that are obviously not in the BMI 28 or above category. The simple fact that buying a diet pill is a bit of an embarrassment – its like admitting to everyone in close proximity that you are fat!

Buying Alli Online

Perhaps the easiest and less potentially embarrassing way of buying Alli is using an authorised online distributor.

There are several, but the least complicated company we have found is Slimming.com

Although there is still a need a to fill out a questionnaire (every stockist is required to do this) the questionnaire required by Slimming is the quickest to complete.

Alli can be bought in two sizes the 42 and the 84 pack.

Alli created a bit of stir when it was released into the commercial weight loss pill market last year. Alli became the the first non prescription weight loss pill to be granted approval from the FDA (Food & Drugs Administration.) The FDA is the (US) body set up to oversee many industries to ensure that products are fit for human consumption.

It was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Alli would be granted approval as it is a lower strength version of the prescription weight loss drug Xenical. Read about Xenical

This is quite unique – a commercially available weight loss pill that has been given approval usual reserved only for prescription only drugs.

What Is Alli

Alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule (brand name Xenical). But it’s more than just a weight loss pill. It’s an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. Alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat.

Alli is a fat blocker that can stop the absorption of over a quarter of dietary fat from food consumed. Fat blocking and fat binding is a very effective method of weight loss.

Alli Side Effects

When Alli was released onto the market the internet was awash with consumer reports of side effects. The most being an oily discharge from the rectum. This doesn’t sound very pleasant but it does prove that fat is being stopped or blocked from being absorbed into the digestive system. The undigested fat has to leave the body somehow – the oily discharge.

Does Alli Work

Alli has been proven to work and is proven for safety, hence the FDA approval. The biggest drawback is the “lower strength” part. Xenical is a powerful weight loss medication and is so because of its formula and strength. Alli gives the impression it just too diluted to compete in the commercial weight loss market.

Alli has had some good consumer feedback and positive testimonies.

Where To Buy Alli

The American consumer is spoilt for choice – the UK market is a little less welcoming in terms of UK stockists.

Alli Can now be purchased online via registered online pharmacists.

Alli is available either in a 42 or 82 pack with each capsule containing 60mg of Orlistat
