What is alli?

alli is the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product. The alli program includes alli capsules and myalliplan, an individually tailored, online action plan to help you lose weight gradually.

What makes alli different? FDA approval and a sensible approach that focuses on your long-term success.

alli isn?t just another product for you to buy. alli is a pill with a plan. This program requires a commitment to living your life in a new way as you learn to change your eating and activity habits.

alli is not for everyone, but alli is an option. If you are ready to take responsibility, alli and your hard work can help increase your weight loss by 50%. That means if you could lose 10 pounds with dieting alone, you could lose 15 pounds working with alli.

Change is challenging

What's so hard about taking a pill and following a plan? If you've ever tried to lose weight before, you know the hurdles. We've all heard the same thing for years: Eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise are the starting points for any weight loss program.

In theory, that makes sense. In reality, it's hard to do. Lots of people start a diet on Monday and get off track by lunch. They set a goal to only eat 600 calories a day and plan to spend five days at the gym. But nobody can maintain that kind of regimen. And who wants to live like that? With alli, you have an option based on gradual and healthy progress.

How alli capsules work

First, let's talk about the capsule. alli prevents your body from absorbing about a quarter of the fat you eat. Fat is more calorie-dense than carbs or protein. Just one gram of fat has more than double the calories of the same amount of protein or carbs. So if you eat a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and use alli capsules, you can make a real difference in your weight as you limit the total number of calories that enter your system.

Using reference guides available in the alli starter pack and support online, you'll learn how to plan meals that limit your fat intake, track your progress using alli weight loss resources, and get more physically active.
