frequently asked questions

It largely depends on your own efforts. If you follow the alli program and increase your activity level, your results will be more successful. In clinical studies, on average, people taking alli and following a reduced calorie, lower-fat diet for 6 months lost 10 lbs (4.4 kg).

You should begin to lose weight within two weeks after starting to use alli. How much weight you lose will depend on how closely you follow the alli program. Physical activity can also improve your results.

First, check to see whether you’ve lost 5% or more of your body weight. If so, you may have reached your goal. Celebrate! If you’ve lost some weight but haven’t reached your goal, it may be that you have reached a plateau. When this happens, your body, at its new lower weight, no longer needs as many calories. To continue losing weight, reset your calorie and fat targets based on your new weight. You may also want to talk to your pharmacist or doctor. Remember, you should not take the capsules for longer than six months.
