Diet pill not magic

Xenical's (orlistat 120mg) is not going over-the-counter, but a weaker version of it called Alli is. GlaxoSmithKline will make sure their "fat-buster" is on shelves by June. Alli (orlistat 60mg) is not a magic pill. It can assist with weight loss, but you also must exercise and eat healthy. Alli sits in your gut and grabs hold of fat from your meals before your body can digest it and incorporate it into your thighs. It zaps about one-fourth of the fat from a meal and is not needed if you have a fat-free meal.

Alli won't speed your heart rate or increase blood pressure, however, it may stain your underwear. Undesirable side effects, such as gas with oily spotting and more frequent stools that may be hard to control, might make you rethink taking it, especially if you have plans for a seductive evening or Pilates. If you eat a low-fat diet, you'll do yourself (and everyone else) a favor because you can bypass the side effects. People with gallbladder disease, kidney stones, pancreatitis, or cyclosporine users should avoid Alli. Long-term users will need to supplement with a high-quality multivitamin, containing A, D, E and K.
