People are saying Alli is the first OTC drug that has proven to be effective. They are gratified that as Alli helps you reduce weight, it will not do everything for you. Diet and exercise is still essential to promote weight-loss. Alli is only responsible for decreasing the fat taken in by the digestive system. The weight reduction is gradual. The rest of the program is for you to work on.

Even if Alli does not reduce weight like Xenical (Orlistat), its reduced dosage still makes it a safer alternative. It will even form a healthy behavior for its users since you won’t be too dependent on a high dosage drug.

Lifestyle is also a key factor to look into when it comes to the weight loss program. There are obese people who follow a wrong lifestyle. They need to change this to succeed in losing weight.

Amy Stuart, a nurse, gave a good tip for a healthy change in the lifestyle of obese individuals. Obese people must make it a habit to take one capsule of Alli before every meal (breakfast, lunch and supper). They also need to lessen their calorie and fat intake. This should be done with patient exercise of about 5-6 days per week. This routine can in fact lead to a steady loss of weight and more energy to go on.
