Getting the Facts Straight about Weight Loss Pill Alli August 18, 2009
To dispel rumors about GlaxoSmithKline’s new weight pill Alli, people must know the facts about how it works to reduce weight. The best thing about Alli is that it acts not merely to trim off those pounds, but as a comprehensive program that promotes good dietary and lifestyle habits.
In order to achieve maximum results from Alli, a sensible, healthy diet plan must be closely followed. If not, one may experience side effects such as diarrhea, upset stomach or gas and still retain those unwanted pounds. Alli decreases the absorption of fat from the food you eat by binding itself to enzymes called lipases, limiting their capacity to break down fat into smaller fats, which get absorbed in your digestive tract.
On the average, Alli prevents the absorption of 25% of fat in the diet and can help people lose over 50% of their weight compared to just dieting. While the results vary based on diet, exercise habits, and body chemistry, the FDA says users can expect to lose about 1 to 2 pounds in a week. Important provisos that go with Alli are: when you skip a meal, skip a dose of Alli; and if you miss a dose, do not take a double dose. More importantly, Alli must be accompanied with a sensible, low-fat meal.
