The prices have finally dropped below £20 at recognised, real pharmacies!

I just searched for 42 Alli Capsules on googl, went into the product results, and when i ordered by price there are actually some legitimate ones under £20. Normally they are way more than this and the RRP is £32.95!

    Anyone tried these? Do they really help?
  • My best pal is very overweight and used these for a month, she didn't stick to the diet recommendations(she says she couldn't) in the instructions and became a cropper a couple of times. She didn't lose any weight, I think if you can stick to a low fat diet then you don't need these tablets anyway.

    Anybody that genuinely needs these can get them on prescription from their GP. Works out much cheaper, plus your treatment (remember, these are drugs) will be properly supervised.
    Gone ... or have I?

    They're not a magic pill and you'd have near enough the same weight-loss results if you had the same diet with or without the pills. Just with the pills you'd have the negative consequence for not eating properly. Same principle to Antabuse for alcoholics - if they drink alcohol they're made violently sick.

    To lose weight eat properly and do a little more exercise. Don't waste money on pills (this is a money saving site after all).
  • My friend has been taking these, under doctor supervision although not on prescription. She's lost 6 stone I think. She's eating healthier but doesn't restrict herself entirely. Lunch still has crisps, she still eats chocolate etc. Nothing is going to let you just eat crap and lose weight, and she now swears by these.
