"I took it about 2 weeks ago and thought on the entire situation before I decided to comment and concluded that this wasn't for me. I have always managed to carry that extra 20 pounds or so around even though my doctor says that he just doesn't get why. I practically already live the "Alli diet plan". I eat healthy and I do cardio 4/5 times a week and weights/yoga 3/4 times a week. I was hoping that maybe this would aid giving me through that extra step. I had the same problem as another reviewer with "leakage" (as Alli calls it). It was only the second day of taking it. I'm sure glad it was a day off. I spent all day in the bathroom and felt miserable. And unlike what they say, I wasn't going out and munching on hamburgers and fries but eating grilled chicken or fish with veggies! So like others have said... if you already feel that you know how to eat properly, this pill is not for you and can only make life more embarrassing!"
Well, this post is kinda a propos of nothing but yeah, I know something about this as I am on a weight loss kick.
alli is a pill used to peel off about 1/4 of the fat you're eating. Up to about 18 grams of fat in one meal and you do not have issues; it's when you have more fat than that that issues crop up.
So -- you probably just ate too much fat in one sitting. That's not a criticism, it's an observation. Fat is snuck into a lot of our foods. 5 grams of fat (which is what you'd be eating if you ate 4 oz. of skinless chicken breast and a couple of cups of veggies without sauce) will not make you sit in a bathroom all day.
A pound of chicken, with the skin, and veggies with alfredo sauce? Yeah, that'll do it.
