Alli the weight lose pill.
it prevents the absoption of fat and produces yucky side effects if you overindulge in fat. its suposed to be a reinforcement/learning thing. you learn that eating fatty things leads to problems, so you are less likely to eat fatty things in the future. there is nothing really magical about it. you do absorb fewer calories since that fat carries some calories with it. but if your problem is sugar and carbs, it won't do anything for you. like anything else, its a tool that can help you in your journey. you are right though that you will still need to work out and eat better. i have used it on and off (as both xenical and alli). i think it helped me to not gain weight when in situations where i didn't have control over how food is prepared (eating out, living at a boarding school, family events). if you are going to buy it, compare prices. online costco is much cheaper than say the corner CVS.
