Since I need to knock off pounds right now, I thought I would: #1 go low calorie, low fat (10-15 grams of fat a day total); and #2 take Alli when I ate too much fat at a meal, so it would...uh..pass thru my system (putting it delicately).
Well, the other day I made a pizza from scratch using Kraft brand low fat mozzarella, lots of tomato, spinach, red onion and parmesan. OK...so I ate the whole thing myself (yes!); of course, I did this only as a favor to all those starving kids in China my mother told me about. I don't eat that much normally, but this was the day's meal totally. OK..I felt like pigging out that day to be honest.
Anyway, the gist of this is: I sat and waiting for all the gas, all the loose stools and other side effects...and.....nothing. I mean nothing!!!! Where were the terrible side effects of Alli
?
I guess the 45 grams of fat in the mozzarella are still not enough for the Alli to kick you into diarrhea mode, so, unless you eat alot (more than 45 grams) of fat every day, I wouldn't worry about the side effects.
Myself, I am eating about 10-15 fat grams total a day--even tho Alli recommends 15 a meal. I lost weight--and felt great--doing this before, and feel it is a pretty healthy way to go for me.
Now if I could just continue this for life I might make it to 90 like I want to...
Anyway, don't let the side effects of Alli scare you away from trying it.
