alli frequently asked questions

How does alli weight loss work?

expand_more

alli capsules are often wrongly referred to as alli diet pills or alli weight loss pills. They are not slimming tablets in that they have the effect of a crash diet.

alli is an aid to help you reach a healthier weight steadily and gradually when incorporated into a balanced lifestyle.

alli works with your digestive system in a unique way - the active ingredient, orlistat, attaches itself to some of the body’s natural enzymes that break down fat. The fat is prevented from being digested and absorbed; meaning any extra calories you have eaten will not be stored and added to your weight.

alli blocks about 25% of the fat you eat from being absorbed, and the unabsorbed fat passes naturally out of your body in your stools.

How many tablets do I take a day?

expand_more
  • Take 1 capsule, 3 times a day at mealtimes - before, during or up to 1 hour after each meal
  • Swallow the capsule whole with water
  • alli works on the fat in your meals, so if you miss a meal or the meal doesn’t contain any fat, don’t take a capsule
  • You should also take a multivitamin every day at bedtime to ensure adequate absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K. As well as lowering the level of fat absorption, alli can also lower the absorption of these other vitamins
  • Do not take more than 3 capsules a day

Do not take alli for more than 6 months – they are not alli weight loss tablets for crash dieting, they are only a temporary weight loss aid to help you on your way.
