The US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) have formally
endorsed the first miracle weight loss drug to be available
over the counter without any prescription is called Alli
(pronounced al-eye).
While the US has been troubled by obesity for some time,
with some 65 percent of adults overweight or obese, the
problem is starting to take hold in Europe. While weight
loss pills have attracted some negative comment in the past,
the fact the FDA have approved the product offers a great
deal of support to many.
The Alli diet pill itself is a low strength version of
the prescription weight loss diet drug
Xenical, also known as Orlistat which has
an impressive safety record, and encouraging clinical trial
results Like other weight loss diet drugs you may have heard
about that act in the brain or central nervous system to
suppress appetite or to speed up metabolism, alli
diet drug works in your digestive system to block
about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being
digested.
Even though many potential customers may see the alli
diet pill as a quick path to weight loss, it works better
along side traditional weight loss programs such as light
exercise, and careful dieting.
There can be some slightly uncomfortable side effects
if the customer continues with a high fat diet while using
alli, with increased flatulence and rectal discharge (very
soft stools) as the drug acts to reduce the amount of fat
absorbed by the body.
