What is Alli?
Alli is one of the few FDA-approved over-the-counter weight loss pills. It's half the strength of the prescription only weight loss pill Orlistat / Xenical and is only available to adults with a BMI of 28 or greater.
Their website claims that for every 2lbs you would lose on a good diet you'll lose 1lb more with Alli.

How does Alli work?
Alli is a fat blocker and works by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat in your diet. They say it blocks around 25 percent of comsumed fat.
According to their website, the active ingredient Orlistat attaches itself to natural enzymes found in your bodies digestive system. This prevents around a quarter of the fat you eat from being digested and absorbed as calories. The undigested fat passes through your body when you have a bowel movement.
Alli isn't a magic diet pill and is designed to work with a diet and exercise program. Your daily intake of fat, protein and carbohydrates should be evenly divided over all your meals. You should reduce the amount of fat you eat and note your progress.
Alli side-effects
Alli causes a purely physical reaction in your body so there are going to be some side-effects. They are natural effects of Alli's fat-blocking action and are signs that the diet pills are working. Most of the side-effects below are temporay and will go away.
oily stools

Alli's fat-blocking action can also has a negative effect and blocks some of the vitamins and minerals in your diet. They recommend that you take a good multivitamin.
If you have any serious side-effects, stop taking Alli and seek medical attention.
