Jus thought id share my experience with alli
First week i experienced no side effects at all but that was most likely due to me eating not much more than salad and fruit, i also went for a 30 minute jog 3 times as well as walking for at least half an hour every day. I was drinking about 2 litres of water a day as well as taking the multivitamins. I was shocked to see that i lost 8 pounds after just one week ( I weighed 10st 3 to start and was down to 9st 9) I was going on holiday the next day so i left the alli at home, my goal weight is 9st so at that rate of weight loss i didnt even think id use all my pills! As soon as i had eaten the first meal (burger king at the airport! obviously to celebrate) on holiday i felt awful. I had stomach cramps and a headache almost immediatley and spent the next day near to the toilet. Even though i had stopped taking the alli the side effects continued for another 3 days, but worse than that i gained all the weight back by the time i had got home.
After feeling shitty because of the weight gain (in one week eating reasonably well!) i decided to start the alli again even after the side effects.
The next couple of days were ok, i think the only side effect when your eating under the 15g of fat is feeling slighlty bloated and not at all energetic. I didnt do as well as the first week and cheated a couple of times mostly by snacking, and by the end of the week i had only gone jogging once and walked the half an hour about 5 days. I had lost 3 pounds and was now down to 10st which i was happy with.
The third week was much the same and i lost another 2 pounds which is good, and i think due to the alli. I have tried eating healthily and excersising without taking the alli but i just cant shift the weight, and i have found alli extremely helpful. The side effects can be bad and anyone who says they had a takeaway and not had any comeback must be lying because the way alli works is literally to get rid of the fat content, which is why its not advisible to eat a fatty meal then take one. I would reccomend alli if you find it hard to lose weight after you have hit a certain spot, platued. I would recommend lots of water and something which has really helped me is hot water and lemon when ive had the stomech cramps. I dont believe keeping a food diary as its hard to be completely honest with yourself, where as alli puts you off cheating because of the innevitable side effects. After you have gone over the fat allowance or had an unhealthy snack once or twice you will seriously consider it before doing it again.
If you have any questions ask away and i hope you found that helpful!
