What's your experience with the Alli diet supplement?!
Question: I've never considered taking diet pills before, but there has been such a big deal made out of this one. Is the loose stools things dramatic as it sounds or is it one of those side effects not experienced by most? I'm just looking to lose some weight for my wedding. I eat healthy and exerise, so please no anti-pill comments. I'm just curious about peoples 'experiences, not opinions. :)

I've never taken it, but apparenly a girl at my gym has- she had one of the accidents, commonly known as "Alli-Oops" right in front of me while working out. It was horrible to see. Orange-ish watery stuff running down her leg. I couldnt believe it. It was really gross and I cant imagine how embarassed she must have been.
I know you mentioned the loose stools part but don't forget the gas part either. Supposedly up to half of the people taking it will experience the side effects.
I would never take it because I know someone who does. She absolutely CAN NOT eat any sort of fat in her diet or she has disastrous results. She actually carries an extra pair of pants in her car because she has, on more than one occasion, pooped her pants in public. Apparently it's an intense urge that can't be controlled. I have heard that you also have greasy gas that usually leaves marks on your underwear. I don't know if that happens to her. . . . I really don't care to ask!
I don't know if she's in the minority on the side effects but it's enough to keep me uninterested in the pill. On the up side, she does look great, she has lost weight and SHE thinks it's worth the side effects. I don't agree, but it's not my body!
