I'm sure you will all have heard about Alli by now, either through the adverts, posters, articles, etc. It is the magical blue pill that helps you lose 50% more weight than you would without it. It is also the only medication of its kind that is available without a prescription. It works by stopping about a quarter of the fat in your meals being absorbed, the fat then passes straight through you, thus saving calories and unwanted weight gain. The pill appears to work on percentages rather than a total amount so if you eat a grilled chicken meal containing 16g fat you will pass 4g of fat. Likewise, if you eat a 80g KFC meal you will pass 20g of fat - ...  Read the complete review

Alli is a weight loss aid, apparently for every 1lb you lose with Alli you'll lose 2lbs more! Alli contains a drug called Orlistat, which helps prevent the absorption of fat from your meals. It is designed to combat obesity and is meant for people with a bmi (body mass index) of 28+. I had a baby a couple of months ago and am getting married at the end of the year so am desperately trying to lose weight. Over the years I have tried Weight Watchers, calorie counting and various diuretics but had seen Alli advertised and thought I would give it a try. I have now been using it for 1 month. I was 13st 2lb when I started and I am now 12st ...  Read the complete review

Alli has been branded the 'miracle' diet pill. This review aims to dispell that myth. The main ingredient of Alli is Orlistat. What this drug does, is disables some of the enzymes in your gut that absorb fat. Not all fat. And what goes in, must come out. Orlistat is available on prescription (currently £7.20 per perscription in England) under the name of Xenical. What needs to be stated, is that Alli is HALF the strength of Xenical. The drugs look the same - little blue bullets, but the difference is in the pennys you hand over, and the strength you receive. IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH - PLEASE STOP READING NOW. YOU HAVE BEEN ...  Read the complete review

As you have probably guessed from my previous reviews, I do like to eat some calorie filled food. I'm not in anyway massively overweight, but due to my height (5ft 1), my BMI is over 28. I can't remember when I first heard about Alli... I was perhaps in Superdrug or somewhere and saw the massive Alli cut out display board and its promise for weight loss. I went home to 'google' what Alli was exactly, as you have to be checked by a pharmacist to see if you are eligible to use Alli (health conditions and a BMI of more than 28). They are also not the cheapest of products with 42 pills costing £21.99 on a good day (always offers on Alli Pills). ...  Read the complete review

I got Alli from my local sainsburys in october 2010 after reading up about it and seeing good reviews and results. I was 10 stone and a half and at 5'2 felt very uncomfortable. Although i'd bein trying for ages to lose a stone or two, nothing was working (so it seemed) except for calorie counting which i didn't have the motivation to do as at the time i was working 12 hour days, so i picked these up. They were £34.99 for 30 tablets which yes, was expensive, but personally i feel they're worth it. Alli is also available on prescription for people who are classed as obese. Alli also reduces blood pressure, and appears to prevent the onset of type ...  Read the complete review
