I’ve received a few tip offs that a few of the tiny celebs (for legal reasons I cannot name them…all I can say is they are sisters who have recently lost a lot of weight) have been using a new diet pill called alli. Apparently it works by blocking 25% of the fat you eat. This pill is going to be the next hoodia. The worst thing is it is so easily accessible. This is the first time an FDA approved weight loss drug can be bought over the counter. I just hope that girls suffering from eating disorders don’t get hold if it. Hopefully there are some rules in place for who can buy it.

I think its similar to xenical (orlisat) which you need a prescription for. It seems to be working on the two that are rumored to be taking it.

The following information on the pill is taken from the website http://www.gotalli.com

alli blocks about 25% of the fat you eat

dose alli have side affects?

The main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can’t absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them "treatment effects." These include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal.
