Has anyone here used Alli for weight loss? I read up on it on web md and it sounds promising with some restrictions. You take it after a meal but you skip it if you eat a high fat meal. Just curious what success, if any, people have had with it.

hahah that's because if you eat a high fat meal, you'll poop your pants. It will never replace learning how to eat right consistently since it's just a temporary fix. Are you going to use it for the rest of your life?

I actually wrote a little blurb about alli years ago Please Wear Dark Pants | Sarcasm Is An Art

Never said I was going to use it. Doing some research for a family member. I've also heard some not so great things about it.

I get anal leakage when someone claims a pill or some other miracle diet for weight loss. They somehow think that it can replace smaller portions, good nutritional foods, lowering fat and carb intake, while eliminating the need for physical activity.

Why in the world would people want to be sensible? I mean even though every diet aid has been debunked they are still willing to shell out money, risk their health and live in a fantasy world that the weight will magically come off if they take it.

I wish I knew. I lost my weight by eating sensibly, moving about. I call that a success. I am keeping my weight at my goal weight. Again, more success.
