Alli diet product
That Alli weight loss product sure costs a lot. I think it would be less
costly to visit an M.D. and ask for a prescription. Alli is an over the counter, weaker version of ollisat (generic) or Xenical (brandname.) Orlisat inhibits absorbsion of about a third of the fat intake, so provides useful support to people dieting to lose weight. The AHA recommends supplementing with fat absorbing vitamins as orlistat tends to inhibit their absorbsion too. If you go to a doctor for a prescription, you are going to get one tailored to your needs, rather than a 'one size fits all' diet. Kudos on Alli for their diet plan help and for popularizing drug assistance. It is good to see people making money from non-phony diet assistance - just not quite that much money. If you have an overweight child, Alli is only approved for people over 18, but orlisat can be prescribed for much younger children. Mal |

It is too expensive, especially for such meager weight-loss results....then they instruct you to reduce your fat. Huh? If you have to change your diet, you might as well eat a little less fat in the first place. Also, the latter helps get you into a better diet. I can see people relying on Alli for the rest of their lives. In fact, people generally ignore instructions....they seem to always have antibiotic left over, and just stop taking drugs once they feel better for example, no matter what the Dr. recommended. I'm sure there will be people who take Alli, then eat MORE fat, since this is what happens with low-at foods and reduced calorie food in general. I'm a retired dentist and when I was in the Army, there were of course post-op instructions after an extraction which included: do not smoke for 24 hours, do not spit, stay closed on the gauze...among other things given orally and written. The patient would always nod "yes" I understand all that. The joke was that we would occasionally watch people leave the clinic, spit the gauze out, spit some more blood and usually the clot along with it, then light up a cigarette all within 10 seconds of leaving the clinic. Some people, unless they fear for their lives, often do anything they feel like. I already eat low fat, so it would probably be dangerous for me to take the pill, but I did read all about it. True, it is no gimmick and I'm glad it is available, but I think you'll see some people GAIN weight on Alli making the price potentially much more costly than the high price tag alone. dkw |
