Taking the Alli Challenge

Well, this is it! I'm taking the Alli challenge. I've finally made up my mind to take the Alli Diet Pill in order to assist in losing weight. Of course, the key to my endeavor is diet and exercise. I've read allot of research on Alli and listened to many satisfied and dissatisfied users. A friend of mine had been on the Alli diet for about a month before he left for Australia on an exchange program. He was very satisfied with the diet He was looking to lose some weight without exercising a great deal. So this is what he did. He stopped exercising all together. He followed the directions for recommended use as indicated by the Alli Weight Loss Plan. This is to say that three days before he started taking his Alli diet pills he started a low-fat diet. He told me that according to the Alli Weight Loss Plan you can't have any more than 19 grams of fat at any one meal. This is because the Alli Diet Pill is a fat blocker. It prevents a percentage of fat from being absorbed by your intestines. Given that the fat is not absorbed it must be excreted and that's why you must be careful about your fat consumption. In his experience 19 grams of fat or less per meal didn't produce any notable change in bodily functions. The directions are very specific and he made sure to ensure that I knew this. By going on a low fat diet three days before taking Alli you ensure that all of the excess fat is out of your system. He said that if you were to go eat a Fast Food meal and take Alli the following day you would certainly be unpleasantly surprised.
The dissatisfied users, for the most part, all complain about exactly that; the diarrhea associated with taking Alli. In one instance the weight loss candidate was very happy taking the pill for three days until he had eaten at McDonalds. He was then disappointed with the results and advised others not to take the pills. I think that the bottom line is that Alli, as with all medications, needs to be taken according to its directions. If not, the side effects will follow.
So, given all of this information and research that I put into this thing I have come to this conclusion. First, I need to lose weight. I'm 36 years old, 250 pounds, and suffer with degenerative disk disease. My lower back pain prevents me from doing a great deal of exercise, although I can participate in some low impact upper body and cardio vascular training.
Second, today I start my low fat diet in preparation to start the Alli Weight Loss Diet. I have to recognize that Alli Diet Pills are a dietary supplement, not a diet in itself. The low fat diet and regular exercise program are going to provide the weight loss. The Alli is going to help to speed the weight loss along. I have great hope that this is going to work, and I'm finally going to start losing weight in a manner that I can keep it off. Third, I will purchase the Alli Starter Pack tomorrow so that I can read the instructions for myself.
In a final note; my friend reported 3-6 pound of weight loss per week without doing any exercise. I am sure that this will work. I'll keep posting my progress. Maybe it could work for you as well.
