No. The alli product is indicated for overweight adults 18 years and older.

Each gram of fat contains 9 calories as compared to 4 calories per gram for carbohydrates and protein. alli capsules inhibit the absorption of about 25-30% of the fat you consume. So, alli will save you approximately 2 1/4 calories for each gram of fat you consume.

For example, if you eat a meal with 20 grams of fat, (9 calories X 20 grams =180 calories of fat), alli will prevent the absorption of 5 grams of fat (9 calories X 5 grams =45 calories from fat); you will still absorb 15 grams of fat (9 calories X 15 grams =135 calories from fat).

The alli capsule works in the digestive tract and is minimally absorbed in the blood. Orlistat, the active ingredient in alli, is a lipase inhibitor and works by binding to specific enzymes that break down fats (triglycerides). As a result, about 25% of the consumed fat is not absorbed and passes through the digestive system and is naturally excreted by the body. Since the calories associated with this unabsorbed fat are not used (1 gram of fat=9 calories), the number of calories that enter your system is reduced. Orlistat doesn’t limit the absorption of calories from protein or carbohydrate. So, if you replace calories from fat by eating carbohydrates or protein, you will not get the benefits of alli and will lose less weight. Therefore, it is important to stick to your calorie and fat target by eating foods that are naturally low in both calories and fat.

alli (orlistat 60 mg capsules) works by blocking the absorption of about 25% of fat in the foods you eat. Since the calories associated with this unabsorbed fat are not used (1 gram of fat=9 calories), the number of calories that enter your system is reduced. alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet can result in a 5% to 10% weight loss over time. alli meets the rigorous FDA standards for an over the counter weight-loss drug. Clinical trials have consistently shown that alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet to be more effective than diet alone. alli plus diet can help people lose 50% more weight than with dieting alone. This means that if you lose 2 pounds with diet and exercise, alli can help you lose 1 more.

The first time you take the alli product along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat meal, it works to inhibit some of the fat you eat. During the first few weeks you may have some trial and error sticking with your recommended fat and calorie target. It’s important to know that although alli works on an individual meal, if you consume a high fat meal, diet-related side effects may not appear for 12-72 hours since it depends on the time it takes for food to pass through your entire digestive system. This time, known as gastrointestinal (GI) or bowel transit time, is affected by the types of food you eat and how much you drink, and different people can have different bowel transit times.

If you follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, get regular physical activity, and take alli capsules as directed, you could see results in the first two weeks. Most weight loss usually occurs within the first six months. Individual results vary. If you stop using alli, continue with your diet and exercise program. You may start to regain weight after you stop taking alli. You may need to start taking alli again along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and physical activity.

It is important to recognize the health benefits of a five percent weight loss and to change the perception of many Americans who reject this as an insignificant amount of weight loss. A weight loss of five percent can result in significant improvements in overall health, including decreased cardiovascular risk factors. Although a greater weight loss may result in more health benefits, a 5% weight loss is an achievable and realistic starting goal. The alli brand encourages slow, gradual weight loss and lifestyle changes that can help you achieve and maintain a realistic weight loss goal.

That depends on how closely you follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, get regular physical activity, and take alli capsules as directed. alli along with the recommended diet promotes a gradual, modest weight loss of about 1 to 2 pounds a week. For every 2 pounds you lose from diet alone, alli can help you lose 1 pound more. In clinical studies, most people lost 5-10 pounds over 6 months. Individual results may vary.

Yes. alli capsules work by blocking the absorption of about 25% of the fat ingested. Consequently, the calories associated with that unabsorbed fat cannot be used. For example, if your meal contains 16 grams of fat, 4 grams (about 25%) will not be absorbed. Since 4 grams of fat are equal to 36 calories, your body takes in 36 less calories.

The formulation for the alli product is the same as it was when it was originally launched as an over the counter (OTC) weight loss aid in 2007, and it is manufactured at the same site in the U.S. alli contains the same active ingredient, orlistat, at the same levels since its launch in 2007.

The alli product is not an appetite suppressant and does not contain any stimulants. alli does not work in the central nervous system, but instead, works locally in the digestive tract. Some people find that changing their diet to include more fiber, like fruits and vegetables, can make them feel fuller.
