Alli
The Alli program is rated 3/5
Alli Review:
Background
Alli is the first and only weight loss pill approved by the FDA for sale over the counter. A softer version of the well-known drug Xenical, Alli works by blocking 25 percent of the fat you consume from being absorbed by the intestines through the use of the chemical Orlistat. GlaxoSmithKline, the company behind Alli, promises 50 percent more weight loss by using the pill than you would lose by diet and exercise alone.
What to Eat
Three meals a day, each one containing no more than 15 grams of fat. A pill should also be taken with each meal. While there are no forbidden foods per se, eating meals high in fat will result in severe side effects, so cutting down on fat intake becomes the main focus of the plan. Certain foods, such as dairy, are often higher than 15 grams per portion, so they must be limited to a minimum.
The Good
The website offers lots of support regarding nutrition, diet plans, shopping lists and recommendations, all free of charge. A forum is also available. Lots of tools online, including calorie counters and exercise recommendations. The pill is effective when used as directed.
The Bad
The side effects of the drug are, at best, uncomfortable and, at worst, dangerous. For those consuming more than the recommended number of fat grams a day, gas, cramps and diarrhea are common. Oily spotting and incontinence are also possible and many users report having a need for special intimate pads to prevent stains. Taking the pill for a long time or exceeding the recommended dosis can result in malnutrition in the long term.
Exercise
Exercise is recommended and tips are available in the Alli website.
Costs
$38.99 for 60 capsules.

Not only does insulin manage glucose, but it also transports Tryptophan (pictured right) to the brain.
