In June 2007, a new weight loss pill was released in the U.S. Alli (pronounced as “ally”) is the first non-prescription drug that blocks fat thereby preventing it from being absorbed by your body. It is particularly designed to treat obesity.

Alli does not affect your appetite in any serious way. Once you take the pill, most of the activity happens in the digestive system. It does not decrease or increase your appetite for that matter.

About 25% of consumed fat is reduced, as guaranteed by the makers of the drug. Orlistat, the active ingredient in Alli, prevents the lipases and inhibits them in the gastrointestinal tract. The drug does not have any effect on protein and carbohydrates.

Combined with a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet, alli will work effectively as much as it breaks down the calories you consume. Your daily intake of fat, protein, and carbohydrates should be equally divided over all of your daily meals. Stick to a healthy, proper diet; follow your medication and exercise routines very closely to make it more effective.

Alli works right away, and how much weight you will lose depends on how much how much fat is in your diet. Exercising and lowering your overall calorie ingestion while taking the pill can make you lose more than you would by just taking the drug and not having to alter your lifestyle.
