I am used to doing ww or other low fat diets but they seem to be too low in fat thats why i am totally confused by all of this. I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Thanksyou. Valerie.  |
Hi Steppingstones.
I have been taking the Alli pills for 2 weeks now and have lost 7lbs. I have to say, I started off feeling very much the same - not wanting to take them if eating out etc. However, I have only experienced the side effects when eating very fatty foods (naughty). As long as you stick to something reasonably low in fat you will be fine. Always carry spare underwear and panty liners help with any 'leaking' (I haven't been unlucky enough to experience this particular side effect). Good luck!
