What is orlistat
Orlistat or brand name Alli is an FDA-approved over the counter medication that can help overweight adults lose weight. It promotes weight loss by decreasing the amount of dietary fat, that gets absorbed into your intestines
Who should use orlistat
It's intended to only be used for overweight adults, 18 and older with a BMI of 25 or more. It should be used alongside a reduced-calorie and low-fat diet, so please keep in mind, its not generally for losing that extra 5 pounds to fit into jeans, its reserved for overweight to obese individuals, who need an extra kick to their weight loss regimen.
Is orlistat enough to lose weight
You should never solely rely on Alli for weight loss.
How does alli work? Orlistat mechanism of action.
Lipase, is an enzyme found in the digestive tract, it helps break down dietary fat into smaller components, so it can be used or stored for energy. Alli works against lipase. So When lipase activity is blocked, the triglycerides that you get from the diet are not hydrolyzed into absorbable free fatty acids, and instead are excreted out of your body unchanged.
When you take alli with a meal, about 25 percent of the fat you consume isn't broken down and gets eliminated through BM's.
How much weight can alli help you lose
More than 40 percent of people taking Alli while following a calorie-restricted diet and increasing physical activity lost 5 percent or more of their body weight within a year which can be clinically meaningful to most. Clinically meaningful weight loss is enough weight loss to begin lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other diseases and is generally defined as 5 percent or more of body weight. A weight loss of five percent can still result in significant improvements in overall health, including decreased cardiovascular risk factors, which is a huge benefit we are looking for.
How long does alli take to work?
If you follow a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, get regular physical activity, and take alli® capsules as directed, you could see results in the first two weeks. Most weight loss usually occurs within the first six months. But keep in mind, Individual results vary because this depends on your commitment.
How is it to be taken? Generally speaking, unless your doctor has you on a different regimen.
How to take alli?
One orlistat capsule is to be taken with a meal, or within 1 hour of each meal containing fat, three times per day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner). If you skip a meal, you should skip the alli. No more than three capsules should be taken in a single day and A multivitamin is recommended when orlistat is used at least 2 hours after taking or at bedtime, because fat soluble vitamins can’t be absorbed as much, so please let your doctor know first before taking one.
Orlistat side effects
Some common side effects include flatulence, sorry idk why I had to add that in. Frequent BM's, soft stools and oily leakage which is supposed to help reinforce you to make more wiser choices when it comes to eating fats.
Speak with a healthcare provider if any of these side effects become severe or troublesome.
When to let your doctor know when taking Alli
Let your doctor know if, you develop any allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, breathing problems, or black tarry stools, signs of infection, dark yellow or brown , yellowing of the eyes or skin, trouble passing, abdominal pain, or urgent B movements, and vomiting.

#orlistat #alli #xenical
I took the alli pill along with a low calorie diet and exercise and I went from 150 to 125 in a matter of months
how many months? and what was your diet like?
That's...that's what generally happens even without Alli.
I've been taking Alli for 2 weeks and am down 5 lbs.I'm 67 and very pleased with that.
Dose it raise the heart rate? Thank you !
Don't forget to take a multivitamin or your boneless will be great
Oh good to know that this vid is current and not a million years old!
I knew lol
Lol exactly
Haha
This is happening too often on youtube, 5-7 year old videos that are starting to become outdated. The algorithm doesn't promote new content. Try out some filters of more recent etc...
I have taken 120mg for 4 months not religiously but as and when needed ie if i ate fat. I have lost 30ibs (14kg) in 4 months. I exercised 3-4x a week low intensity as i have bad knees but low intensity does raise your heart rate. I used my fitbit to track my heart rate & calorie counting. I did a calorie deficit too and internittent fasting. I have high leptin which means i crave fatty foods snd feel hungry all the time. IF stops me snacking as i have long days + stressful jobs. Pls commit to exercise. I started on 15 minute walks then 10k steps. I am now so fit. Side effects: if you eat fat, even “good” fat, orlistat will stop the body processing it & it leaks out as oily greasy stuff, flatulance and you will need incontinence pads! It leaks without even flatulence! You do learn what not to eat!
Thank you for taking the time to share this. 🙂
@@ArsalanAspires my pleasure! I just hope i can be of help to someone as I, too was not long ago faced with health problems !
Wait so you can't eat any fat at all? Like avocado, olive oil, Salad dressing?
Thank U so much for your comment. I also wanted to start orlistat along with IF but there is no info on net about it except that i read your comment! I suffer fr knee pain too due to which i need to reduce weight. I am planing to have one tablet with one meal a day on low fat diet. Have you been able t maintain your weight?
My goal is to lose at least 30 pounds
Alli has helped me a lot with my NAFLD ..no more protruding tummy ..thanks to whoever invented it
Thanks for this great explanation. I'm on a low fat diet and after reading several reviews determined this product is not for me
Best doctor and so kind to Reply keep growing doctor 😊
Thank you 😊
This was the perfect video to watch before taking Alli! Thank you! I’m going to start it soon.
You are most welcome! Wishing you wellness! 🙂
ive recently started taking it again after 8 years. a good tip they dont mention is try folding 2/3 squares of toilet tissue and putting it between your cheeks... trust me, you will be glad you did if it makes you gassy :)
How did it go??

this will never work for me, i have tried lots of slimming pills in the past, whatever it is always makes me feel terrible. good thing i switch to agoge diet which helped me with lots of things regarding my health
Pretty sure that most doctors these days don't want you calling them about anything other than making another appointment. If you're having side effects don't wait 3 years to get in and tell your doctor this. Just stop taking it.
My problem is with orlistat is oil leaks. It start to leak oil so it became very difficult even go out. Once I had a small donut and didn't even had time to run to the wash room huge flood of smelly oil came out. It flowed everywhere. I was horrified by how much oil that tiny mini donut had.
😂 oil filled donuts 🍩
Sorry for laughing and thanks for sharing.
It's good it's only your more clothes and undergarments and you choose to live in House it's good
My bottle traveled from an eBay seller in this heatwave, so it’s probably wrecked and will have to buy it again. Watch the heat and sunlight exposure and humidity
Here's the problem with using Alli on a low-fat diet. Let's say the meal you're eating has 10 grams of fat. That's 90 calories. Alli can only help you lose 25 percent. So for a meal with 10 g of fat, you're only going to be losing about 25 calories by taking the pill. That's less than 100 calories per day, which means less than a pound of fat lost in a month. And if your meals have fewer grams of fat, then Alli will only take away less. So it seems to me that you need to eat fewer carbs but more fat for this to be any benefit. You can't take away fat if there isn't a lot of fat in the diet.
its for people significantly overweight. Its for those that need a kick start. Those people are overweight to the point its a health issue and they probably eat terrible so this pill could help save their life and also kick start their better health once they see they actually lost weight and motivate them to start eating healthier.
One of the first questions asked by people that want to lose weight is which is better - a supplement or diet?. The answer varies from person to person, but in general, it's going to be a mix of both. If you have enough determination, you can get rid of half a year gaining muscle mass using supplements. However, with only food products (not about their quality), it will take much longer time. It all depends on your goal and level of health consciousness. So think about it before starting any program.
This comment just helped me. I’m doing plant-based meals and I’m looking for something that will boost my efforts to get this lower belly pooch gone and some slight love handles. I don’t think this will work for me tho
This is incorrect. You’re supposed to be following their diet plan too with the supplement. The average they recommend is 1500 calories. With the ADDITION of Alli, that’s an extra 100 calories on top of the calorie deficit you should already be in (bonus if you exercise).
@@stephmignogna9848 tell me the math if I’m incorrect. Can you demonstrate where my claim is wrong?
i have taken it 3 months and only remained the same weight
Wow are you cutting calories ?? Just curious .. I lose weight eating clean 1400 cal
yes because im on weight watchers it seldom does anything
@@margovictoria1608 cut your calories to 1400 .. paleo diet .. nice walks .. myfitnesspal will work
Eat less
I have been told that contrary to popular belief fat doesn’t make you gain weight but carbs do. So how important is it to block the fat absorption instead of the carb absorption?? 🤷🏾♂️
Most of Americans diet consist of foods with high Fat, carbs and Sugar, which causes weight gain.. Carbs are a worst enemy to lethargic individuals!!! If you’re active, you will burn the carbs..
If it holds calories and you consume to much, anything will make you gain weight.
Things with high fat like butter, margarine, nut oils already have a higher amount of calories because even a small amount has a high amount of calories for being really small. Overall, you do need fat. It won't make it so you get no fat in your diet. Carbs can make you bloat and depending on the carb you burn through them quickly anyways. Carbs like bread, rice, wheat products are bad for your oral health anyways being big reasons people get cavities and tooth decay.
I've been holding it in my cabinet for a year still wondering if I should use it. I need help losing 25 lbs.
I believe in you :)
Make sure it's not expired
Thank u!
2020 yr ill be Starting this soon!
ive recently started taking it again after 8 years. a good tip they dont mention is try folding 2/3 squares of toilet tissue and putting it between your cheeks... trust me, you will be glad you did if it makes you gassy :)
Thank you " your video was amazing and very helpful .. you also gained a new subscriber here 😊
Welcome aboard!
I have severe social anxiety , and I take Lexapro, and clonazepam for it. I’ve been on Alli for 1 day and my anxiety has increased. It’s harder for me to get out. I just want to stay indoors. This sucks. My mind is more scattered, more all over the place. Perhaps it’s interfering with my antidepressant med. I’m unsure whether to stop taking it or not.
Take your anxiety medication four hours before or after
Like you, I suffer from social anxiety and I take Zoloft, I take alli, I take anxiety medication four hours after alli, I think it overlaps so I should separate by four hours
I do have hypothyroid .Take Thyroid medicine at 6 am .I wonder if taking Alli at lunch and dinner would be okay
Informative video. How does it help with existing fat stored
I would like to know if a good appetite suppressant. I used to take meridia and it worked so well. Took in the morning and good to go. No jitters or anything it was great for my food control.
I was on Duromine (40mg) didn't feel hungry at all on it (but didnt loose any weight) with Alli ive found I tend to eat extra because my body is craving the nutrients being passed.
I took phentermine and lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks which I believe was water weight, after that I used it for a month and didn’t see any more weight lost. I stopped taking it because I felt my throat very dried and I couldn’t keep up with that feeling
@Mary Adeyemi I got them from a weight loss clinic and there a doctor prescribed them. Or you can always ask your physician if they can prescribe them to you so your insurance can cover for them, if not I usually pay $80 for a one month supply. But in other states I’ve seen people pay up to $140 for a one month supply. But it’s really important not to get them online, a doctor has to prescribe them.
Well informed video! Doc😎
Thank you!
Great video man. Superb video for this pill.
I appreciate your feedback :)
So if we have to reduce our fat intake to begin with and watch what we eat, why do we need alli I'm just starting mine.
Exactly
alli isn't like a magic pill it just cuts down the fat you it so if you're in calorie deficit you'll loose weight faster.
Because you will not cut down your fat intake if you're not taking it anyway.
It most definitely helps you lose weight FASTER!!! It helps burn fat and speeds up your metabolism!
@@licorice9998 Exactly, it actually WORKS!!!!
You should only take supplements that fda approve. Alli is fda aprove.
Why would you lose less weight if you only ate carbs and protein?
I’m just going to take these, and only eat once a day. I have no means of exercise, nor do I want to
Did you end up losing weight?
@@ayanibrahim9822 never bought it
You'll lose weight but never be toned essentially. Just skinny fat
On the alli group page it's says this
You’ll also need to take a daily multivitamin that contains vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta carotene while on this drug. The drug's fat-blocking properties also make it more difficult for your body to absorb these fat-soluble vitamins. Do not take vitamins and Alli at the same time of the day.
What does that mean do we take vitamins or not
Hi, thank you for your question!
While it is true that alli can disrupt the absorption of fat soluble vitamins that you’ve mentioned, there are ways to work around that!
My tip is to take the multivitamin closer to bedtime and at the very least, two hours after your last dose of Alli for better absorption.
I hope that makes sense! 🤞
I dont take vitamins, this is my second time on Alli after I took it 8 years ago... I have noticed my body craves the good things that are not being processed with the fat being passed.
My hair fell out from using this because online it says don’t take vitamins and scares you their website says you should but I’m sure for legal reasons they put TAKE VITAMIN WHEN USING on the bottle so very mixed signals I have hair down to my waist and lost a huge clump and half of one of eyebrows. I only took 2 a day for two months.
@@shahalieschrepfer6098yes no one talks about this but I know quite a few people who permanently have had to wear wigs now after using this. They lost tons of weight but their hair went right with it 😬
I’m nervous about taking a supplement and stopping. 🙁
But how does a pill know how much fat there is and how much they should absorb. I imagine those are fibers that bind fat, and if you are 250g of butter there is no way that these pills will bind 25%. What I imagine how it works is that the fibers can bind a certain amount of fat and the medial amount of fat in a meal is calculated and 25% of that amount is what the pills can bind.
Loved the video and the information. thank you Doctor.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, can you take this with HBP?
Does it cause heart palpitations? That’s my only concern.
I’ve had my gallbladder removed and for some reason I can’t stop gaining weight and I’m not sure if I can take this without a gallbladder
I would like to start Alli, but here is my question: When I have plans to be with friends or to be out in public in general, should I skip the Alli that day, or even skip it the day before so that I don't risk the leaky side effect?
If you eat foods that do not contain so much fat i shouldnt be a problem but try it out first to see if you get any side effects. Try changing up your diet in that case

Can breastfeeding mothers take this?
Hello , did you use multivitmns with orlistat? I hear that orlistat would block fat soluble vitamins which cause vitmins A,D,K,E deficiency and hair loss. Did you receive any side effects like hair loss if u did not use multivitamin
Yes at night right before bedtime
Take vitamins at night or window if not eating (I work nights)
My hair fell out from using this because online it says don’t take vitamins and scares you and their website says you should but I’m sure for legal reasons they put TAKE VITAMIN WHEN USING on the bottle so very mixed signals I have hair down to my waist and lost a huge clump and half of one of eyebrows. I only took 2 a day for two months.
I bought Alli on eBay, should I have not done that? The doctors in my area don’t seem to have much time to talk with me about this.
Never buy medication on eBay.
It’s at target
Is orlso the same as alli
I don’t see the link if you should not take Alli…
I wish i had faster metabolism like so thin because being fit is what only makes me fit in this society I'm tryin my best whenever i see a single soft part of my skin i want to cut it and take it off

Omg no wonder my hair has been falling out like crazy! Ughhh
Because it's also removing the healthy fat. If you can't take a multivitamin then add foods rich in sulphur to your diet
@@erin07697yes alot of people don't mention the hair loss part. It does work very well but I know people who permanently have to wear wigs now
And nope I won’t be taking it- I have locs I’d be damned !!
Can I use this to cleanse my bile supply?
So I’m getting that alli on slimming world isn’t that good since you can generally eat as much proteins and carbs as you want?
Do you gain the weight back when you stop taking it?
Yes, you will slowly over time if you don’t change your life style!
THANK YOU 🙏🏽
Wishing you the best :)
What is the differences between the Alli starter pack vs Refill pack?
on looking on the two, theyre both the same strength.
The starter pack comes with a pill holder and pamphlet, which is downloadable. And less pill that pretty much it

Can you take those if doing Keto diet???????
I would like to know this also
I don’t think so coz people have said if you eat a lot of fat you will be on the toilet a lot coz once you eat fat it comes out in your Pooh
Would you be able to speak faster than 365 miles an hour ? That is way too slow. (and try catching your breath between blinks)
Is it the same as Singrass?
Walmart have had this shelfwise, 30 years ....huuum?????
Hi good Afternoon, I’m not sure if you can please help me , is it safe for post gastric bypass patients? I’m ten years post op, and fine it EXTREMELY difficult to keep my weight off, and was wondering if anyone’s taken these diet pills after surgery?
Stop eating what makes you fat .
Can we use it everyday?
Doctor will not breaking down the fat effect the normal hormone production? Our body needs fat for hormone production ryt? And actually in this case does the deeper calorie deficit created by the tab helped to lose weight?
That’s a great question. It’s only a little portion of the fat is not absorbed remember. If you’re only consuming a small portion of fat in your diet, anyway, you should probably not take this supplement anyway.
What about the liver warning?
Hi Kim, thanks for sharing this concern. Rare cases of liver injury has occurred, which is why the risks and benefits should be discussed with your doctor. As far as some signs to watch for that may or may not indicate liver injury are: itching, yellow eyes or skin, dark urine, loss of appetite, or light-colored stools. Again, let your doctor know you are or plan on taking Alli first!
I hope this addresses your concern.
So... if we do Alli while on keto? 🤔
You're going to have a lot of gas and be on the toilet quite often.
I don’t understand this. They say eating fat doesn’t make you fat. It’s carbs and sugars.
Can i get 2 tablets of 60 mg 3 times a day
I cant find 120 mg
Are Orlos ok for you? I'm trying lose 5 stone.
Is it safe to take Alli while taking Sertraline/Zoloft?
I’m taking it with Lexapro and I feel more anxious and scattered mentally. I have severe social anxiety.
Just call your pharmacist
It's not safe period.
How can I get it without prescription?
It’s over the counter. Look what “over the counter drugs” mean…
Omg!!! My favorite movie.. love Sarah Michele Gellar. Thank you for these great tips and information 👍👍👍
You are most welcome
Can hyperthyroidism take this?
I am exercising at least 30 minutes from M -F sometimes Saturday too. Earing about 1200 to 1300 calories and haven't seen my weight go down.
How long have you been doing that for?
Increase your cardio, drink more water, and eat/drink more protein. Usually 1g of protein per lean body mass should help. 🤔 another thing I personally would suggest is to weigh yourself daily. Before you drink or eat anything and after you use the restroom in the morning you should weigh yourself and track your weight almost everyday. Taking weekly or bi weekly progress pictures will also help. Another thing to keep in mind is that you might not be losing weight but you could still be losing fat. That’s because while lose fat, depending on the kind of exercise you’re doing, you could be gaining muscle (which is good because more muscle will help you lose more fat)
