forget vanity — let's focus on health
Sure, you want to look your best, but the #1 reason for dropping extra weight is your health. Facts are facts, guys — and the facts say that being overweight puts you at greater risk for things like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. Losing even 5% of your body weight can make a big difference in your overall health, as well as the way you look and feel.
alli® can help you get there.
alli works — here's how
It's really pretty simple. You take alli with your meal and it blocks about ¼ of the fat you consume. And since fat grams are more calorie-dense than proteins and carbohydrates, those blocked calories add up to more success for you — up to 50% more. That means, if you can lose 10 pounds with diet and exercise alone, you could lose 15 pounds by adding alli.
why alli is different
First off, alli is FDA approved. It's the ONLY over-the-counter weight loss product proven to be safe and effective. Second, it's non-systemically acting — that's doctor-speak for “it has no effect on your heart or central nervous system” — so it won't make you dizzy or cause your heart to race. alli works in your digestive tract. End of story.
adding alli — how you do it
First, you set aside all of the stigmas you associate with “dieting.” Then you watch what you eat, take alli with each meal and hit the gym more often. Really, the most important thing you have to stay aware of, while taking alli, is what you eat. That doesn't mean your diet will be limited to broiled chicken and carrot sticks. You can still eat the foods you love, just smaller portions and healthier versions of them — think burgers made with lean beef, or having two slices of pizza instead of eating half the pie.

alli is most effective when taken with a low-fat, reduced-calorie diet. Daily fat and calorie targets vary by weight, height and activity level. For example, if you are 5'11”, weigh 200lbs., and have a low activity level, your daily target would be 1,800 calories per day, with about 19 grams of fat per meal. To be as successful as possible with alli, it's important to make sure you're consuming the right amount, so check your specific fat gram and calorie targets before you get started.
