Hi [Friend's First Name],
I thought you’d be interested in this page on the myalli.com web site. Access the page at http://www.myalli.com/whatisalli/commonquestions/miscellaneous.aspx.
Generally, the cost is roughly what one might expect to pay for a bag of chips and a can of soda every day – the equivalent of an afternoon snack.

You don’t have to hit the gym or hire a personal trainer to make a real difference in your health. Studies show that moderate exercise – such as walking for 30 minutes every day – can reduce your risk for disease.
The great thing about exercise is its cumulative effect – you don’t have to do it all at once. You can add it to your activities throughout the day by sneaking in a little extra walking to the things you already do.
What’s important is including activity regularly in your routine. Start small and work your way up. Consistency is your goal.
The “Are you losing it?” book educates people about a realistic mind-set, healthy weight-loss strategies and a sensible approach to losing weight and keeping it off. The book is a tool to expose myths and obstacles that discourage weight loss, give advice on lifestyle and behavioral changes, provide low-fat menu ideas and offer physical activity tips. The book also includes an overview of alli, the only FDA-approved, over-the-counter weight-loss aid. It is sold near the pharmacy counter of participating stores.
“The alli Diet Plan” contains recipes and tools helpful while you follow the alli program. The book moves dieters through three phases, each with the same caloric intake but different levels of fat content. The tools include more than 200 delicious, alli-friendly recipes, including no-cook, quick and easy and prepare-ahead options; a restaurant guide with 100 restaurants; a low-intensity, fat-burning fitness program to help you achieve results; and 300 daily menus/meal plans.
We are sorry to learn that you have found it difficult to locate alli in your area. Please be assured that we are working diligently to ensure that alli is available as quickly as possible.
Participating grocery, drug and mass retailers, as well as some online retailers, sell alli. If you cannot find alli in one store, you should check another local retailer or go online.
Additionally, you might wish to order our product online from leading retailers. They can ship the product directly to you.
“The alli Diet Plan” book was written by Dr. Carolyn Apovian and published by Meredith Publishing. The book has a three-phased approach. The approach moves from Phase 1 (15% of your calories from fat) to Phase 3 (30% of your calories from fat). This plan was independently developed by Dr. Apovian to minimize treatment effects.
“The alli Diet Plan” is compatible with alli. It does follow the same calorie targets as the information provided in the alli materials, but the Phase 1 and Phase 2 fat targets are slightly lower.
It’s always sensible advice to take a multivitamin when you are on any kind of weight-loss program. alli works by preventing absorption of about 25% of fat, and it will also minimally inhibit fat-soluble vitamins to the same extent. The fat-soluble vitamins are vitamins A, D, E, K and beta-carotene.
We recommend that you take a multivitamin with alli, once a day at bedtime.
alli is available in four sizes: 60 ct., 90 ct., 120 ct. and 150 ct. The 60 ct., 90 ct. and 150 ct. are all starter kits. This means that they contain all of the in-pack materials. The 120 ct. is a refill pack and only contains the Companion Guide and the Read Me First guide. Additionally, the 150 ct. is available at club/warehouse stores.
The tools available include:
For people who are ready to commit to the program and purchase an alli starter pack, they may also call our 1-800 number to request a full set of the alli in-pack educational materials and the offline alli behavioral support program in Spanish.
The alli program provides practical support to all consumers willing to embrace a healthier lifestyle.
The safety and efficacy of alli are well established, and clinical trials with Orlistat (the active ingredient in alli) have consistently shown it to be more effective than diet alone. It can aid weight loss in individuals who are committed to losing weight, regardless of ethnicity.
The population at large, including African Americans and Hispanics, has been shown to achieve weight loss when committed to the program.
