I was interested to see weight loss is not much better using this pill than just dieting and exercising. This isn't a take this pill and eat whatever I want and lose weight type diet pill. There are some bad side effects if you don't follow a low fat diet when taking this. Another big downside for me is the cost as well.

I'd start here if you're looking for a balanced perspective on Alli. This doctor evaluates the drug based on effectiveness and side effects. A great overall article.
