5.0 out of 5 stars the good, the bad, the UGLY

D.C. · October 7, 2021

I bought the 60 pack starter bottle to kick start a new phase of diet and exercise. I've done the diet and exercise thing many times before, the weight always comes back. I've tried diet pills before, they never work at all. I figured I'd give this stuff a go based on some positive reviews. Reader BEWARE - THIS. STUFF. WORKS.The good - This stuff WORKS. You cannot deny it. During the 22 days it took me to go through the first bottle, I lost 7 pounds. Now, as I said, I'm no stranger to diet and exercise. When I started taking the pills, I listened to the instructions. I worked out everyday during these 22 days, I followed a low fat and low calorie diet. I even did a juice cleanse for 2 days (during which I did not take the pills). I took my multivitamin every night. I probably would have lost 4 or 5 pounds without these pills during this time, but these pills definitely helped add a little extra something. You can literally SEE this stuff working (more on that below). At no point while taking this stuff did I have to run to the bathroom like some crazy emergency where I almost didn't make it. I had regular bowel movements, they were just.... offputting.The bad - this stuff works. You can literally see it. It will disgust you at first, there is no doubt about that. You will see blobs of fat/oil in the toilet. You will really want to avoid eating super fatty/oily foods while you are taking this stuff.The UGLY - this stuff REALLY works. Like, if you are in a relationship, or still have to go to work in person, you may want to think twice. Like I said above, I didn't have to run to the bathroom at any point while taking this stuff, but it leaves a nasty ring of oil in your toilet. You will likely go through a lot of toilet cleaner while on this product. If you are at work, or in a relationship, it's going to be hard to hide it. I basically have to clean my toilet every time I go to the bathroom. If you are out in public or at work, it's going to be even harder, since you won't have access to a toilet brush.the UGLY UGLY - at one point while on this product, I decided to help myself to some pepperoni pizza (it was cauliflower crust, tiny personal pizza, I figured what's the harm, the whole thing was 650 calories), after eating this pizza I had the urge to let out a little toot, so I did. Well...that little toot led to an oil stain in my underwear. Thank the man in the sky I was home and able to go change into some fresh undies.You've been warned. It WORKS.

It works. I've lost roughly 30lbs in 7 months with the help of alli.While I am following the diet and exercise recommendations, orlistat gives me peace of mind when I have occasional cheat days.Noticeable side effects:After a heavy, high-fat meal farts cannot be trusted. What seems like a fart sometimes turns out to be orange liquid instead. Proceed with caution.Also, fully evacuating the bowels is sometimes difficult. For example, I'll finish going #2, but can feel there is still more up there, only after moving and walking around for a few minutes is the rest ready to come out.All in all, alli is worth it for me and I continue to use it.

1.0 out of 5 stars PLEASE READ

For those looking to buy, let me WARN you.I saw the positive reviews and ignored the negative ones thinking that it was just a few bad apples. I was wrong.WARNING: The price tag is hefty on these pills, and also know that if you realize what happens on the first few days and you can't handle it, there is NO REFUND with medication on Bolo.MY EXPERIENCE: Everyone will have a different experience when it comes to this medication, but most people that I have read have a common theme. What comes out the other end. Yes it smells, yes it hurts, for me it hurt like the worst blowout of my life times three. I was in gut wrenching pain.On my first day I took my first pill, as prescribed. I felt a little strange, but nothing to worry about, when I hit my second pill that's when the trouble started. I developed a migraine that set on fast. After the migraine I lost control of my bowels, my gut felt like it was stabbed and my vision blurred. My skin became pale and clamy and I could barely walk. I walked hunched over and eventually passed out. If I was conscious or had someone with me, I would have gone to the hospital. (TWO PILLS) that is all it took for me to be brought to a devastating point.I found out a couple days later from a family member that my cousin took the same pills months ago and she had to go to a hospital herself. So please be warned.FINAL: Please know that medical pills are not a weight loss guarantee, I learned the hard way there are significant side effects and the price tag of this does not help. I have no idea how they got 'FDA approval' as advertised, but I am shocked that it is pushed. Please, find a friend or family member and have them be a support partner who can help push you and drive you to go out and work out. Please do not be like me and use these in addition to exercise. I have been wanting to write this review since I took the medication to SAVE someone from the experience I went through. Please PLEASE do not buy these pills.

3.0 out of 5 stars I HAVE USE THIS PRODUCT FOR YEARS OFF AND ON

A.R. · December 15, 2024

HONESTLY IT IS NOT DOING WHAT IT USUALLY DID YEARS AGO... I'M ALMOST THINKING IT IS DILLUTED, OR IT JUST MISSING SOMETHING.I WAS LITERALLY AFRAID OF BUTTER AFTER TAKING ALLI HONESTLY, NOW NOTHING HAPPENS. PLEASE TELL ME WHY THE PILLS ARE NOT WORKING AS THEY SHOULD? I HAD LOST 20 EVEN 30 POUNDS BEFORE, DOING EXACTLY THE SAME AS NOW. NO, ITS NOT METABOLISM DRIVEN, THE PRODUCT IS JUST NOT THE SAME. NO CRAMPS OR OILY DECRETIONS... THAT IS NOT RIGHT! NOPE!
