I want to get some and see how it works. Anyone else try it yet?

I saw a thing on the news about it a week or two ago. It works by reducing your body's ability to absorb fats from food. The bad part is, the fats have to go somewhere (you probably see where I'm going with this).

Let's just say it'll give you some trouble in the restroom.

It's the same thing as Xenical but have the dosage in each pill.
At GNC the sell 90 Capsules $59.99
Or a bottle of 60 Capsules $49.99
Or a bottleof 120 Capsules $69.99
The The alli™ Diet Plan $19.95 but it's on sale for $14.95
There is also a Alli book for $4.95

I'd think it would make you use the restroom the way Olestra AKA Olean does.

To my knowledge, Alli was just made available as an over-the-counter supplement today. I'm definately going to try it. From my understanding, you really don't experience any side effects unless you are eating too much fat. The program suggests no more than 15 g of fat per meal. So if you plan on taking the pills and continuing to eat a higher fat diet, you're just wasting your time (and a lot of money).

You're correct it's was released today. GNC has it for the below prices. It's the same as Xenical. Each pill of Alli has half the dosgae as a pill of Xenical (I typed "have" instead of "half" in the post below)
GlaxoSmithKline bought the US rights to Xenical from Roche a year ago. Alli is made by the same company. Some reports have suggested that Alli will cause the same reaction in some people the same way that Olean did.

Makes no sense if you ask me. People can take 2 pills instead of one and have the same strength of dosage of Xenical that you need a prescription for. What ever brings in the money I suppose.
