So people would rather poop their pants than have a few extra pounds? Something is wrong in the world.

Those people with the disgusting stories above are expecting Alli to be the magic diet pill. They are STILL taking in way too much fat.

I have been taking it for a month now and have learned that if I consume a high fat meal, I will suffer the consequences. Alli has helped me. 8 pounds in 3 weeks is a major accomplishment. And just the thought of having a horrifying episode like one described in the article has taught me to prepare and enjoy a lower fat diet.

Someone on Yahoo!Answers posted saying they had tried and experienced these results and concluded by saying they were going to sue the makers of Alli for it. What is it with our culture wanting instant gratification without doing any work to earn it?

I hadn't heard of it and read the paperwork from the package inside of Costco the other day. One thing it noted was that the people who were in the control groups were given adult diapers. I stopped reading at that point. I knew how you could lose that "50% more". Nope. No. Un unh. No way. Eat less, exercise more...that is the only thing that works.

That is why there are warnings in all the materials that clearly state this is a side effect. The packaging tells folks to in fact where dark clothes --just in case. If any fatty is complain they should worry about their reading skills AND that lard ass

ps- is that a typo--does her brother build fences or feces?

My sister, who is an office worker, told me about it too.

My brother, who builds fences, almost tried it.

These things happen only if you eat A LOT of fat. The pill keeps about 30% of fat from digesting, so the 'orange river' probably came from an ocean of fat.

Of course you can always cheat and stay clean by eating lots of pasta, bread and salty snacks...

The pill was introduced in Europe a long time ago and it's called Xenical.

My sister, who is almost a registered dietician, was telling me about this ... but that second quote is hilarious.
