Alli - Weight loss pill Alli released today

Before the news comes out on Alli I wanted to take this opportunity to say that even if you do decide to take Alli or any other diet pill then please remember that your best chance of success is still to combine that pill with a good eating plan and exercise.

After months of negotiating. planning and a huge media blitz, Alli goes on sale today. I wrote a little while back about Alli and how it will be coming out and there has definitely been a lot of interest.

Alli is a cut down version of Xenical which is a diet pill that has been effective for losing . Cenical has been on the market for a number of years but it needed a prescription to be bought. So with that success Glaxo Smith Kline the Creators of Xenical started on the road to an over the counter product that they have named Alli.

Americans alone spend more than a $1 billion a year on loss products. Imagine if the tens of millions of people worldwide had easy access to a diet pill. Well starting today they do.

The market is so enormous and there are so many over people desperate for solutions, says Professor Kelly Brownell is director of Yale Universitys Center for Eating and Weight Disorders.

Alli is a non-prescription version of Xenical, a more potent, prescription-only loss drug. Both drugs are brand names for orlistat. They work by blocking fat in the digestive track. The manufacturer admits Alli is not a magic pill, and users need to make a commitment to lifestyle change.

Now that you have the scoop I can tell you that I am not in favor of using a former prescription drug for loss. Why bother with pharmaceuticals when there is a natural product that you can buy online and not have to worry about dangerous and dirty side effects? An alternative diet pill product that I have found is called Avatrim. I know I have not reviewed Avatrim on this blog yet but that is because I have not had a good chance to have someone try it (it is on the way to our house now). The review will be coming soon although not as soon as Alli hitting the shelves. Anyway with all of the problems that one can have with drugs it is nice to have a proven effective and natural product on the market as an alternative.
