I am wondering why the FDA has approved this one, and not hundreds of others. It has to be different somehow (safer, maybe?) ... but I suppose that doesn't mean it works.
Here is the website if you're curious: http://www.myalli.com/.

I am not looking for a lecture on how I should lose weight be eating health, working out, etc. I am not even sure I am considering using this pill. The FDA approval has just peaked my interest and I am curious.

You know, I am getting so sick and tired of spammers who jump into these types of threads to advertise their products. If you are not here to discuss this question, get the F out.
If I check your answers and you have pasted this same answer in 30 other weight loss theads, you WILL be reported. Have a great day! :)

Alli is actually the former perscription weight loss drug, Xenical (Hence why it was FDA approved, it used to be avaialbe only by perscription). This medication can have some NASTY side effects. The medication works by not allowing your body to absorb fat. Trouble is that if you injest anything that has fat, it's just going to have to come out the other end. While on this medication, expect to have what I call "greasy feases".

There is plenty of FDA approved weight loss pills available. This one just happens to be over-the-counter....must be less effective. Talk to your doc and get a script if you want a weight loss pill.

This is the over-the-counter strength of orlistat. It helps block the absorption of fat. It must be used in conjunction with a low fat diet or you will experience uncomfortable and potentially embarrassing discharge of the fat through the bowels. It is, therefore, no "magic bullet" for losing weight. The only true blue means is to burn more calories than you take in.

No one has tried it since it's not out yet.
Just because it's FDA approved doesn't mean it's safe in the long-run (remember phen-phen?). It just means it is proven to help and hasn't resulted in any unsafe side affects YET.
You really should try to lose weight the good old fashioned way before resorting to drugs.

Go to the FDA's web site. I'd be highly skeptical that they actually approved it. Seeing that they don't even regulate supplements.

Proteins takes more time to digest than carbs so eating protein will make you feel full for longer
