Simple, Inexpensive Alternatives to the New Weight Loss Pill Alli

Ames, IA, June 28, 2007 --(PR.com)-- The first over-the-counter weight loss pill approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now available for purchase. GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer of alli, a new version of the original prescription drug Xenical, promises "committed" dieters an additional 50 per cent more weight loss when dieting than might be achieved otherwise.

For example, if you were to lose 10 pounds with diet alone, you might lose as much as 15 pounds with alli. However, most of the weight loss estimates are based on research with Xenical not alli. Also, to achieve this result, the pill must be taken along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and exercise.

Alli will block the absorption of about 25 percent of the fat you eat. But this benefit comes with a significant price. A one month starter pack of pills costs about $60.00. An additional and potentially more distressing cost may be the possible side effects of the medication.

The fat that is not absorbed by the body must go somewhere. When it passes from the body it may cause gas, along with oily spotting, loose or frequent stools, and an urgent need to use the bathroom. To reduce these effects, the manufacturer recommends limiting fat intake to no more than 15 grams of fat per meal.

Are you prepared to make the diet and lifestyle changes necessary for effective use of alli? If so, why not consider other choices? There are many simple, inexpensive things you can do to improve your chances of reaching your weight loss goal.
