What is alli?
alli® is the only FDA-approved, over-the-counter weight-loss aid. The alli program includes alli capsules and myalliplan™, an individually tailored, online action plan to help you lose weight gradually.
alli is not a weight loss dietary supplement. When used as directed, alli works in the digestive system. It does not affect the heart or the brain. Orlistat, the active ingredient in alli, is the most studied weight loss medicine in the world, with safety established in more than 100 clinical studies involving more than 30,000 patients.
alli isn’t just another product for you to buy. alli is a pill that comes with a purpose — to help you have a healthy, happy relationship with food that lasts a lifetime. The alli way is a new way to think about food in your life, and provides you with everything you need to build that healthy relationship — a comprehensive meal plan, powerful tools and a vast support system. That’s real food, real people and real change. Delicious!
How alli capsules work
The capsule is just one part of a program that rewards you with increased weight loss when you eat well and can also signal to you when you don’t. 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 online support through myalliplan, 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.
How myalliplan helps
alli capsules work in partnership with myalliplan, a plan designed specifically for use with alli. When you purchase alli, you can activate your free membership with myalliplan for access to special features, including:
