Having dieted for many years with mixed results, I began my last diet with a goal of losing 20 lbs before my son’s wedding. My husband is diabetic so I knew I would also have to take his needs into consideration when preparing meals.

A friend told me about the product Alli and said I should give it a try. Being somewhat skeptical, and having read rather negative articles about the product, we decided to go slow and instead of taking 3 pills a day, we started with just one and began reducing our fat intake at the same time.

Since the wedding was still some time off, we were not really too serious about the diet, but we were taking note of what we were eating, eating somewhat healthier, passing up seconds and such.

I was not really optimistic, but rather unexpectedly, the scales said something was happening. Since we were not really putting very much effort into this plan and still having some success, we decided to start walking a mile every other day and increase our intake of Alli to 2 pills a day.

The weight really began to come off and fairly quickly. Within 4 months we both had lost 20 pounds and it seemed pretty effortless. We also found our fat intake had dropped dramatically and our energy was increased.

As is often the case, when you have some success with a diet, you become motivated to do more, and the ease and time involved in taking the Alli did just that for me. Almost without my realizing it, food with too high a fat content were not appealing, and my size 10 jeans felt and looked so good.

Now, almost a year later, we have maintained our weight, and take the Alli only occasionally to get us back on track. I think the real benefit to this product is that the results are fast, and as you succeed, you are motivated to keep up the good work.

I have been using the Alli diet plan for about 3 months now. After about a year of trying different diets and pills the Alli works best for me. I combine using Alli and Slim Fast. There is a fairly simple plan, I take Alli three times a day about 10 minutes before I eat anything with fat in. In the morning and afternoon I take it with my Slim Fast shake.

I did not start seeing results until about a month into the diet but when I did see them it was a shock. All the other diets I have tried made me lose 1 or 2 pounds in a month. The Alli/Slim Fast diet helped me lose 10 pounds during my first month.

Like I said I am in my 3rd month and have lost about 25 pounds so far. Before I started the diet I was giving up all hope of finding something that would work for me. Finding Alli and Slim Fast is very easy most drug stores carry both or you can go to a wholesale place and buy it in bulk which is what I do. Unlike the other things I have tried I have only gained back about 6 pounds of what I have lost so far.

Using this has become a routine for me. Taking them at certain times and making sure I eat some somewhat healthy things has helped out a lot. The only downside I found so far was that during the first week or so it did make me go to the bathroom a lot more then usual. But I think it is a small price to pay. I have so far gone from weighing 289 pounds to weighing 264 pounds, not bad for a “Simple” diet.

I would say to anyone who has ever thought about using this to give it a try, the worst that can happen is you will be out a few dollars for buying the item however I am sure that they will see some sort of results. Now that I have been doing it for 3 months with just Slim Fast and a half hour walk each day I am starting to introduce some light cardio exercise with it as well. I bought myself a small in home gym and plan on using this with the Alli and Slim Fast.
