Do the benefits of Alli outweigh the side effects?

What is Alli?The makers of Alli, GlaxoSmithKlein,describe Alli as a weight loss pill. It is touted as a fat breaker and needs to be taken with every meal. It is well known that the function of the digestive enzymes in our system is to break down the fats contained in the meals that we take. It is claimed that the main ingredient in Alli 'binds with the digestive enzymes' to perform this function. But since Alli combines with these enzymes, it prevents them from digesting about ¼ of the fat contained in the food that is consumed. This fat, which remains undigested and unabsorbed is allowed to pass through the digestive system and is excreted out of the body. The overall result, therefore, is that fewer calories from the fat contained in our food are stored as actual body fat.

Even the makers of Alli admit that it is not a magic wand to lose weight. They recommend a regular exercise with a reduced calorie diet which is to be taken through a specific diet plan that restricts the intake of fats even if you take Alli. And if you disregard their recommended diet plan of taking 15 grams of single meal and do not take the regular exercise, you keep growing in flesh, Alli or no Alli. Moreover, just like in usual weight loss plans, you are required to constantly monitor the calories that you take, read the food labels and restrict the ingestion of high fat foods also If, however, you do not follow their instructions, you are likely to 'experience some embarrassing and serious side effects' besides not losing weight as wellAlli is yet to appear for sales in the market. So its price as yet remains unknown. It would be available over the counter and doctor's prescription would not be needed. But the question arises: is Alli a safe and effective drug? According to Natural News, around half the users of Alli are expected to experience gastronomical side effects. This was reveled when its clinical trials were conducted. Alli is considered to be a weaker version of the Roche Holding's prescription drug Xenical, known generically as Orlistat. It is reported that Orlistat obstructs the production of an enzyme that is produced by the body to break down the fats for digestion and help the metabolism. The drug, moreover, is not absorbed by the digestive system and, therefore, remains sitting in the gastronomical tract. This may cause harmful effects. Moreover, since Alli blocks the body from digesting fat, the body resorts to different ways to excrete the fat that comes along the food. The fats eliminated through the feces lead to numerous side effects such as loose stools, leakage and "gas with oily spotting," Conclusion: The side effects of Alli outweigh its benefits.
