Alli is actually the first over-the-counter diet pill to be FDA approved. This means that you can purchase alli without a prescription.
Alli works a bit differently than other "diet pills".
First it doesn't curb your appetite or stop cravings and it it isn't a stimulant so you don't get jittery or nervous.
Alli is a fat blocker and blocks about 25% of the food you eat so that your body doesn't digest it. They say that with alli you will lose 50% more weight than dieting alone.
With alli you do however, have to make a commitment to eat a low fat diet in which your meals contain 15 grams or less of fat. Since it does block fat if you eat too much you can have some unpleasant side effects like having lose stools so you have to hit the bathroom fairly quickly and you may have an oily leakage.
That's why they say that you really have to make a commitment and be ready to stick to a low fat diet. You can't give in to a thick greasy burger and fries lunch since you'll be over the recommended 15 grams per meal.
You have to decide whether or not a 50% increase in weight loss is worth the trade off of the giving up of fatty foods and possible side effects. Only you will know if alli is for you.
It's not for everyone.

First FDA approved diet pill? Nahhh. I don't know anything about Alli, but the FDA approved some amphetamines for weight loss decades ago.
http://www.medhunters.com/articles/bodyAlteringDrugs.html
...the stimulant drugs were well established in treatment of obesity, and both amphetamine sulfate and methamphetamine sulfate are still approved for use in most countries, albeit under tight restrictions.

Medical use for weight loss is still approved in some countries, but is regarded as obsolete and dangerous in others.

Diet pills are for LAZY people who dont want to exercise and who think they can easily find solutions in a simple pill.
Diet pills reinforce LAZINESS and the lazy mentality...which is ironic because it is that kind of laziness that makes people fat in the first place.
To lose weight, stay away from pills. Get off your but. Your body is a temple and so is your mind. If you change your way of thinking, if you work hard and take care of yourself you will lose weight. Laziness mentally and physically does not help.
Many pharmaceutical companies offer kickbacks to physicians. The physicians get paid extra for prescribing drugs to patients. If you buy and take these drugs, you are not only being lazy but you are helping to pay for your docs mercedez benz.
EDIT: by the way you will find lots of companies here trying to see their product. trying to exploit your need to lose weight. dont be lazy. dont give in to their marketing tactics. they will say you will get something free..just pay shipping and handling for 10bux lmao

pick up a 5 or 10 pound weight at the gym and visualize that weight coming off holding the weight in your hands helps bring home just how heavy even 5 pounds of extra fat can be
