Does the weight loss drug Alli work without exercise?

jess asked:

I want to try the weight loss drug Alli, and I am eating under 1000 calories a day, which I know isn’t healthy but I don’t have the option to exercise because I am taking 18 credits and the gym at my university is being renovated. Will the Alli drug work for me?

    From reading around weight loss forums and the Alli website, itself, I noticed many people were not losing weight. It seems that many people get the impression that fat grams are the only points that need to be counted. Along with the grams of fat, calories need to be counted as well. Many people neglect the calorie part, and feel that they can drink 10 glasses of soda being that there are 0 grams of fat, per serving. There is a whole math equation that goes into the whole diet, which sometimes will discourage people from following through with their goals.

    Many people do not realize that if they are not dieting a few days, prior to taking their first dose of Alli, they may see some horrid side effects. These side effects may range from an orange, oily discharge, cramping, loose stool, or even a little nausea. These side effects will also occur if you decide to cheat a bit on your diet. If the Alli is not completely out of ones system, the side effects will occur.

    The jitters are a common side effect of many diet pills. Many of us hate them, but because of the ephedrine in most diet pills, they also serve as appetite suppressants. With Alli, unfortunately, there is nothing that helps to curb a person’s appetite. If you are continuously hungry, don’t depend on Alli to take any of that hunger away. In the long run, many dieters are looking for a miracle that will do the controlling for them.

    The worst part of a diet pills is that you will depend on the pills for the rest of your life in order to sustain your ideal weight. Once you stop taking them, the weight you did manage to lose will almost always come back. With the weight loss program that i joint 2 years ago, i’m able to sustain my ideal weight without taking diet pills, hunger nor any tedious exercise. The wisdom to weight loss is knowledge about our own metabolism system.

    Ive had many people tell me that the Alli drug doesn’t work…It simply makes you feel weird….

    The only thing i’ve had success with has been white tea and acai… and that too..not some super fast weight loss success…but more of a moderate and SUSTAINED weight loss.

    White tea tasted awesome…so you will continue drinking it and stick to it. I would suggest you get a free pack from if they are still available.. and start on a white tea diet.
    You simply have to drink a few cups of it…and it will increase your metabolism rate which is the ideal and best way to lose weight…

    As for exercising…. even if you don’t ..you will see some results… which is more than any diet pill would do for you.
    The good thing about white tea with Acai is that even if you leave it…your weight won’t grow back.

    hope I helped

    Weight loss drug works the same, if you don’t want to go to wash room more frequently, try something else, something more scientific and would keep a balance in your body, thus would keep a permanent effect

    Yes – the Alli pill does work. Now all pills have different reactions for different people and I cannot stress enough that you listen to your body. If taking the pill three times a day makes you feel sick or anything, take it down to two pills. Also do not eat fried foods! I’m talking super greasy KFC style fried foods. This is what causes the ‘poos’. I have been taking the Alli pill and I didn’t (at the time) exercise. The most excerise I got was being constantly on my feet at work. Within the first three weeks the girls at work were asking me what i’d been doing because they could see I was losing weight. I had no side effects – I didn’ feel jittery, hyper, nothing. My mother, uncle, aunt, cousin, and myself are all taking the Alli pill and none of us make a point to exercise and we are all losing weight. Trust me, it’s worth it!
