Why do people keep chasing the elusive 'magic pill' to lose weight?
As they say, just get off your bum 3 times a week and stick to 3 meals a day and NO snacks. That's it!

Mmmmmm Xenical........... dangerous stuff. One of my ex colleagues had a devastatingly embarassing experience at a neighbours house. A combination of too much beer and curry made him a rather windy and not thinking he thought he would release said wind............. anyone using Xenical will be aware of what can happen in such situations. Suffice to say that the neighbours white sofa was ruined as was the friendship.....

Naah I will stick to my dieting rather!

thats exactly what happened to me, id been into town to pay for my honeymoon, strolling leisurely, when i felt the need to let a little bottom burp out, there i was 10mins from my house, not only did i fart but the oil/fat come out with it, all over my beige linen pants, the horror!! (felt like i'd sxxt my self) and that was not the only accient on these tablets, in my opinion ther not worth the money, stained clothes or the shear embaressment, and i lost nothing!! so please save your money and try healthier eating:D:D:D

I started it today. I'm on the prescription strength (120 mg) how long before I start seeing side effects;).

Thanks

i have pcos and so its not the fat my body sticks to but carbs due to the insulin resistance part so i started a low carb diet in feb of this yr and lost 15lbs but got stuck. because a low carb diet doesnt leave much else to eat but fat i ordered alli off of chemistdirect.com 1 moth for £30 something. on day 3 and starting to see the side effects.

not nasty but not pleasent as the fat has to come out somewhere so its like pooping pure grease. i know not the loveliest thing to talk about but i think people should be aware of what they could face.

so they do work and i think this side effect will subside when you lower the fat in your diet its like a reminder you are eating too much fat but at the end of the month i will report back

so im on low carb, low fat and alli 3 times daily

ive dont seem to be having any side effects for the last couple of day but have been eating lot fat

I was telling OH about teh side effects of this pill, he was wondering if you took Imodium at the same time then perhaps you wouldnt get them:rotfl:

Work out your bmr drop it by 500 cals a day lose a pound of fat a week .
a pound of fat is 3500 cals.
I haven't read uu on this ,but a supplement called Chitosan .
Which is does a simuilar job to Ali Exanicle.
I think long term about a year you can expect to lose about 5% bodyfat.
So to lose and maintain your ideal weight is lifelong change in diet(eatinng plans)
Remember what Peter Kay says - cakes seconds on the lips forever on the hips.
Chips take away the C what do you get ? Hips.
One pill you can buy or makeyourself for abo
uta fiver a week is E C A

Chtitosan an otc supplement is cheap to buy what mg you need to take to get the eqiverlent dose as Ali
I do'nt know but I bet it works out cheaper. A GIRL WHO TOOK exenicle said it worked because she said if she ate cream cakes etc or to much fat .She would suffer the conseqenses later well her bowls/pants would .If you know what I mean.

How would you go about getting this from your Dr? Obviously alot cheaper, but do you have to meet stricter requirements? Like higher BMI, natural weight loss goals etc? More moneysaving than shelling out, but don't want 2 waste my time if they're just going to say "eat more lettuce" rather than dealing out the poo pills!
