What You Should Know About the New Diet Pill "Alli"

Tina Samuels
A diet pill usually claims better results than it gives. Most will typically offer fast results and have a great accompanying book. If this is what you are looking for, look elsewhere. While the new ultra-hot on the market diet pill Alli will no doubt have many people buying it up in hopes of fulfilling their weight loss dreams, a closer look and you will see that the side effects greatly outweigh any benefits you may get with the drug.

This diet pill only offers very small results. Typically around an extra one or two pounds a month according to your nutritional diet plan and your exercise routine. It says that it will be gradual, and with results this microscopic we understand why. While most diet pills tell the consumer that diet and exercise are a key role, it seems like this new drug offers little else to stimulate the weight loss other than the diet and weight loss.

Other negatives on the diet pill Alli include not only what is termed "gastrointestinal discomfort" but also the phrase "oily stools" advising people who take it to wear dark clothes and dark or brown pants. This is one side effect most won't, and shouldn't have to, tolerate. For an additional pound or two in weight loss, I'm wondering how many people will put up with gastrointestinal issues and oily stools.

There is an accompanying book, supposedly to maximum the benefits of the diet drug Alli. It includes diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and about eating out and the distribution of fat grams. Essentially what is in every health book on the market. To accompany both the book and the pill is the website. There are many issues addressed in the FAQ section of the site. Mostly it says it's completely up to the individual whether you will see results. Again, to reiterate, is an extra pound or two a month really "results"?

Check out the section on the message boards about this before you purchase. Weigh your options, pun intended. Instead of Alli, couldn't you work in an extra 10 minutes of cardio a week to deal with that extra pound or two and not have to deal with wearing brown pants because of your "gastrointestinal distress"? With all the hype that companies usually do, isn't Alli a bit quiet and low key, worryingly so? Make a conscious decision on whether Alli, new diet pill, is right for you.
