Have you heard about the new drug Alli? It apparently blocks 1/4 of the fat that you eat by stopping your body from digesting it. The result of Alli is supposedly safe.
Alli doesn't impact your carbs, your proteins and doesn't stop you from absorbing vitamins and minerals but is said to be effective in taking a portion of the fat you eat and dumping it without it being absorbed.
I've read about many natural health products that block fat or carbs and don't know how Alli differs from those. It also boasts fewer side effects than many other drugs because of the way your body metabolizes it.
One thing to be aware of is the potential treatment effects of this drug by GlaxoSmithKline. You could have negative impact like oily flatulence that could result in leaks. This doesn't sound very pleasant. The whole reason I decided to blog about this drug was the mention of this in a monologue on the Tonight Show.
There are guidelines about how much fat you're allowed to eat in a day with this drug so taking Alli does not entitle you to eat extra fat. This is perplexing...To me, if you are able to manage your fat intake in this way, it would stand to reason that you might be wiser to count your fat grams per day and minimize them instead of needing a drug to block them. Maybe that's just me. I think the alternative of needing to carry a change of clothing and running to the restroom in sheer terror if I feel a fart coming on would be a dealbreaker.
Do you feel the same?
