Diet-related treatment effects – you’re in control
What are diet-related treatment effects?
The unique way alli® works is by preventing some of your body’s enzymes from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. As undigested fat can’t be absorbed, it passes naturally out of the body in your stools and doesn’t contribute to weight gain. Each alli capsule works on one meal at a time.
As a result of this mode of action, you may notice changes to your bowel movements. If you stick to your daily fat targets (follow the alli program’s healthy, reduced calorie, lower-fat diet) these should be manageable. However, if you eat too much fat, you increase your chances of diet-related treatment effects, including fatty or oily stools,
Diet-related treatment effects
Most users only have one episode of diet-related treatment effects. Also, it’s important to remember that these diet-related treatment effects are largely due to what you eat. If you stick to the recommended fat levels per meal, you’re less likely to have any problems.
For example, it you eat a chicken breast containing 15g of fat and then take alli, about a quarter of the fat (4g) is undigested and passes out of your body (less chance of diet-related treatment effects).
On the other hand, if you take alli with a fatty meal, such as a burger meal and chips containing 80g of fat, about a quarter of that amount is 20g, which is the amount of fat you will pass (more chance of diet-related treatment effects).
The surplus fat that passes naturally out of your body is simply undigested fat resulting from how alli works. See it as a signal that you’ve eaten a meal or snack that may have contained more than your recommended fat target.
Tips to avoid diet-related treatment effects
- Find out more about how much fat your favorite foods typically contain and the size of your portions (check the labels). By getting used to the recommended portions, you’ll be less likely to accidentally go over your daily fat target.
- Distribute your fat allowance evenly across your meals for the day. Don’t "save” fat grams from lunch and "spend” them at dinner - each meal and snack must be within the fat target.
- Be patient. It may take a little time to familiarise yourself with your targets. Most users who experience diet-related treatment effects at the start, learn how to reduce them.
- Make the most of the alli program – take the tour
- use the tools, keep a food diary. It’s an invaluable tool to help you recognize which foods can lead to diet-related treatment effects. Jot down useful notes, favorite recipes and other tasty fat-reducing tactics.
- use the alli recipe finder, the meals are quick and easy to prepare and clearly state the fat and calorie content.
