Alli

OVERVIEW
Alli (pronounced like ally) is the only over-the-counter weight loss product that is currently approved by the FDA. This diet pill, which is manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, is a 60mg Orlistat capsule that you can obtain without
a prescription. Taking Alli may prevent your body from absorbing some of the fat that you eat, and the manufacturer claims it can help you lose up to 50% more weight than you can by dieting alone.

However, it is extremely important that you stick to the specific diet plan recommended by Alli. Otherwise, you run the risk of experiencing loose stools and other unsightly side effects. This side effect is so common that pharmacists
advised people taking Alli for the first time to try it on a day off. It should also be noted that these effects subside once the user commits themselves to the dietary restrictions necessary, primarily a diet made of no more than 30 percent fat.
