Alli Weight-Loss Aid, Orlistat 60mg Capsules, 120-Count Refill Pack

I thought I would post this info that took me hours to find at Universal Drugstore dot com.

A doctor recommended I try Alli rather than an appetite supressant (I had requested an FDA approved prescription rather than risk ill effects of over the counter or those found online with possible origins in Asia) that speeds heart/raises BP. The good thing about Alli is that doubling the standard dose is the equivalent of the $400 drug, Xenical. Same results. Same medication.

However, I generally eat quite healthy -- never eat fried foods, or rich fatty foods, no pastries or desserts. However, I do intake too many calories of carbs and as of the holidays, sugary calories as well. I explained this to my doctor.

After the holidays, I've resumed my typical diet of non-fat sources of food, lean meats, fiberous veggies and for treats, fruit and Kashi bars. However at night, when I want a snack, I eat too many calories for my final meal. One of my favorite treats is Jello pudding made with nonfat milk after dinner.

Combined with being mostly sedentary on the job, I've gained 15 lbs since October. Upon researching this product, it only works for those who consume more fat than I currently intake.

In fact, if I followed their ([...]) 1200 calorie diet (online) I would have to modify, albiet worsen, my diet where the caloric breakdown of their site 1200cal menu would leave me with over 9% of my calories coming from fat (where I strive to stay below 6 currently) and carb intake of 50% of my calories, protein would be 18% of my calories and sugar intake would be significantly over what I normally allow for myself. My calories are roughly 30 Fat-30 carb-40 protein currently.

Xenical doesn't work unless you intake "fat-based calories." I guess what I need is an appetite suppressant...despite what the doctor suggested.

Ordered this product and never received it. Contacted Amazon's Customer Service only to receive a standard letter and no help or assistance contacting the postal service from their end. One only had to look at the tracking information to see the product never left shipping after being logged in. Oh yea, they did offer to refund my money if I waited a certain length of time to see if the package arrived.

Buyer Beware If Ordering From Amazon.com!

I started using ALLI three weeks ago after I read all the reviews on Amazon.com. Based on the reviews, this is what I did:

1) Reviewers stated that taking Alli causes gas but after the body became acclimated to it, the digestive system would produce less gas. Based on this information, I started out by taking 1 Alli pill a day after my heaviest fat meal. I continued this for the first week of my diet. The second week I took two Alli pills a day (once for breakfast and once for dinner). The net effect was that my body did produce some extra gas, but not a lot of excess gas.

2) Reviewers stated that taking Alli could cause an oily discharge. Other reviewers claimed that consuming a high-fiber supplement would stop the oily discharge from occuring. So I bought ProFibe (also available from Amazon.com) and started taking one scoop a day. After three weeks, I have never experienced an oily discharge.

3) Reviewers stated that they needed a mini-pad in their underwear to prevent accidents. You can also use a few squares of toilet paper stuffed into your butt. It's a little uncomfortable at first, but it works.

I have now lost 5 pounds in three weeks (from 205 lbs to 200 lbs). I am taking only two Alli pills a day (breakfast and dinner) and I am happy with the results. I also walk between 3 to 6 miles a day.
