The makers of Alli Orlistat (GSK), are about to embark on a massive TV, radio and magazine marketing campaign in the UK.

Alli is the diet pill sensation that hit the headlines in the spring (2009) – Alli proved so successful that on the day of release many high street stockists across Great Britain and authorized internet based suppliers ran out of stock in just days of the product going on general release

Some branches of Boots the chemist ran out within hours.

Alli has been available to buy over the counter in the United States now for coming up to 2 years – it has not however been without some degree of negative press.

Possibly the biggest talking point is that side effect – occasional anal leakage, dubbed the Alli Oops

But lets put that side effect into context for a moment and champion Alli.

The strongest over the counter diet pill

The above phrase has been used by some manufacturers without the ability to back up their claim – Alli on the other hand is the strongest, most potent and most successful (to date) diet pill that is freely available to buy without the need for GP or doctor prescription.

Alli is chemical based, in fact the only chemically based FDA approved non prescription diet pill in existence – it is formulated from the active ingredient Orlistat, found in Xenical - the most widely prescribed diet pill on the planet.

Alli stops the fat from your food from being absorbed

Without wishing to over elaborate or confuse Alli basically stops a percentage of the fat from the food that you eat from being digested by your stomach.

A rough approximation is 28% - so just over a quarter of the fatty food that you consume will not be absorbed by your stomach or more importantly, not form excess body fat.

The down side of Alli (that side effect) is that this unabsorbed fat has to leave your body somehow – this is usually in the form of a bowel movement and often a rather unpleasant yellow liquid.

But the choice is sort of simple – if you’d rather tackle your dieting ambitions solo without the help of the strongest diet pill available then the very best of luck.

On the other hand – if you would like to increase your chances of weight loss success by 50% (according to research) use Alli and put up with the consequences for the duration.

Is the Alli Oops to high a price to pay for a successful weight loss campaign?

Cheapest Online Store To Buy Alli

Alli is available to buy in many high street stores and web based stockists.

The cheapest current price to buy Alli online is via Slimming.com.

Alli 42 Pack £19.85 in stock

Alli 84 Pack £34.95 in stock

Dieters Cheating Caps suggest that their product is “The Best” – so humility and scientific evidence are pushed aside in favour of a more straight to the point message that is typical of US focused diet pills.

Interestingly, the product bottle and logo is remarkably similar to Alli – whether GlaxoSmithKline are contemplating something remains to be seen.

The main tactic on the official website is to position Dieters Cheating Caps against Alli – and of course DCC beats Alli on just about every angle (weight loss effect, price, weight loss potential)

The official website claims “Cheaters Never Prosper” – that is until now.

What Are Dieters Cheating Caps

A stimulant free Carb Blocker, Fat Blocker and appetite suppressant rolled into one.

The main ingredients are:

Phaseolus Vulagaris – this is the carb blocking ingredient of the formula and sounds not unlike a magic spell used by Harry Potter et al but Phaseolus Vulgaris is White kidney Bean extract and used by a number of products as an ingredient, but not potent enough to be used as a main ingredient.

Chitosan – this is the fat blocker, Chitosan is derived from the extracts of shellfish such as shrimps and crabs. Chitosan has not be thoroughly tested on humans for effect or safety. Fat blockers and fat binders are possibly the most effective genre of diet pills – unfortunately Chitosan doesn’t fall into this category. More about Chitosan

Glucomannan – this is the appetite suppressing element. Glucomannan is proven to help you less the Diets Cheating Caps Co. tells us – but proven by whom. More about Appetite Suppressants

Do Dieters Cheating Caps Cause Side Effects

The Chitosan element does not have any long term clinical study in terms adverse reaction on humans, animals yes, human beings … no.

Success Stories And Testimonies

The official website has many positive consumer reviews, less bias and independent sources are little less flattering.

Do Dieters Cheating Caps Work

Glucomannan is possibly the standout ingredient – but when positioned against Hoodia Gordonii it trails behind by quite some considerable distance.

Where To Buy Dieters Cheating Caps

The official website appears to be only outlet (which is not to hard to find) – vey much targeted to the American consumer. UK customer will have to take shipping into consideration.

Looking Elsewhere – Other Diet Pills To Consider

Hoodia Gordonii – a powerfull natural appetite suppressant that has a decade of history as far as usage is concerned in the western world.

Raw Hoodia powder can suppress appetite, reduce calorie intake and does cause any adverse reaction or side effects. More about Hoodia

__________________________________________________

Chitosan is a generic term rather than a specific diet pill brand.

Chitosan is a staple ingredient in a number of commercially available diet pills from the high street or via the internet.

A majority of non prescription diet pills are natural and herbal based – Chitosan, although natural, is derived from the exoskeletons of shellfish, it is a fibre complex consisting of extracts of shrimp and crab.

Diet Pills With Chitosan As An Ingredient

Chitosan is a fat blocker – fat blockers stop the absorption of a percentage of dietary fat.

One of the most commonly known and widely used prescription only fat blockers is Xenical (Orlistat). Xenical is not based around natural ingredients, it is very much a chemically produced diet drug.

Chitosan Clinical Studies

There are some pretty outrageous and unsubstantiated claims about Chitosan on many diet pill related web sites from sellers claiming that you can eat whatever you want and still lose weight.

However, very little evidence of clinical studies exist to verify these sensationalist claims.

Most of the clinical study that has been undertaken has been carried out on animals – not humans, and so any long term health implications are far from conclusive.

Chitosan Side Effects

To date, the possible short term side effects are very rare – some users may experience the following:

• Breathing difficulties
• Tightness in chest or throat
• Hives or skin rashes
• Itchy,  swollen ankles

The above reactions are rare but nonetheless exist – as mentioned above it is not the short term side effects that are of main concern but the potential,  largely unknown longer term.

Is Chitosan Worth Trying

Diet pills that stop fat absorption are generally accepted to be the most effective genre – however, Chitosan is not worth the risk considering the fact that herbal based products exist that offer no short term or long term adverse reaction.

Fat binders are particularly effective – More about Fat Binders

______________________________________________

After much publicity the new miracle diet pill Alli is finally available to buy from UK stockists and suppliers.

Although Alli has been called new and miracle - it is not exactly new and there is certainly nothing that could be classed miraculous about it.

Alli has been available to dieters in the United States for a little under two years now and has recieved the full range of customer comments and user feedback ranging from the highly positive to the depressingly negative.

Latest Alli Health Scare – Read More

Alli, as we are sure you are aware, is the the 1st chemically produced diet pill approved by the FDA (Food & Drugs Administration) to be sold commericially over the counter without a prescription.

Alli went on sale in the UK mid April 2009 – a month earlier than anticipated. The feeling is that everything about Alli seems to be a race against time.

Experts within the pharmaceutical industry believe that Alli will make the manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline an absolute fortune and so getting the product out into the commercial world was paramount – safety it appears is secondary!

Many dieters are overlooking the side effects that Alli can cause.  Alli has been linked with a runny stool issue that could cause some users embarrassment but also, more sinister ramifications – early reports suggested that Alli could cause colon cancer in mice.

Industry experts suggest than Alli has not been tested thoroughly for long term effects it could have on humans.

Where To Buy Alli In The UK

In the rush to get Alli onto the shelves it is the big two chemists that seem to have won the race.

Alli is available to buy from Boots the Chemist both at branch level and via the Boots Online Store.

Boots pricing starts at £32.95 for a two week course up to £49.95 for the full month. Visit Boots Online

Registered Online UK pharmacy Slimming.com have the cheapest Alli price with a full month supply costing £38.00 while the 42 pack pack costs £24.00.  Slimming.com were one of the first registered online pharmacies to receive the product. Visit Slimming.com

Alli Summary

Alli will no doubt be one of, if not the best selling diet pills in the UK of 2009 – but at what future cost.

The long term effects of Alli are not yet understood – but still consumers are scrambling to purchase enticed with words such as new and miracle.

As stated above the concept of Alli (stopping the absorption of fat) is not new and certainly not a miracle.

UK produced Proactol has been doing this for years. Its amazing what a 7 figure marketing budget can do.

___________________________________________________

Alli is quite unique as much as it is the only over the counter (commercially available) diet pill that has been granted approval by the FDA (Food and Drugs Administration)

The FDA is the American equivalent of the UK’s MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare  Regulatory Authority) the governmental department set up to regulate the development, marketing and distribution of (among others) diet products.

Prescription diet pills (slimming drugs administered by doctors) have to be authorized by either body – whereas diet pills that can be purchased freely without prescription via the high street or internet are usually herbal in composition and do not need  approval.

What Is Alli

Alli is a lower strength version of  the pharmaceutical slimming drug Orlistat – more commonly recognized under the Xenical brand name.

Orlistat is potent diet pill that is only available to the obese or dangerously overweight – The lower strength (Alli) Orlistat is available to anyone.

Alli is produced by GlaxoSmithKline and competes in the over the counter diet pill market – as mentioned above, a prescription is not required.

Alli Is Now Available To Buy In The UK

Glaxo suggest that Alli is more than just a pill and supply a weight loss programme (or program) with every bottle purchased – in truth, the accompanying weight loss programme is nothing out of the ordinary and something that can be found for free by simply browsing the internet.

How Does Alli Work

Alli is a fat blocker, fat blockers work by stopping a percentage of fat from food consumed from being digested by the stomach. The undigested fat can pass through the stomach and leave via bowel movements.

Does Alli Cause Side Effects

Alli has many positives – but the one negative is quite a big one.

Alli has been available to purchase in the United States since late 2007, a new phrase has been born  the Alli Oops.

The active ingredient in Alli (Orlistat) blocks fat – it does not bind the fat, just simply stops it from being absorbed into the stomach. Undigested fat is orange in appearance and rather gooey. This orange goo can leave your body at a moments notice and sometimes without warning.

Alli users have taken to carrying a spare set of under clothes if journeying for lengthy periods.

Does Alli Work

Alli is clinically proven and has the approval from the highest governing body – there is little doubt that it is effective for losing body fat.

Is Alli Recommended

If the potentially inconvenient and embarrassing side effect is something that could live for the duration of your diet then Alli is worth considering.

Where To Buy Alli

Currently Boots the Chemist stock Alli both in store and online – Visit Boots costing £32.95 for a week supply and £49.95 for the full month

The cheapest price however is via online UK registered chemists such as Slimming.com- £34.00 for the full month (82 pack) with the 42 pack around £19.00

Alternatives

Diet pills that stop fat from being absorbed are possibly the most effective of all the over the counter diet pill products.

Fat binders work in much the same way to fat blockers, but instead of just blocking a percentage of fat – they bind with it, allowing the fat to pass through your system in much solid state.

Fat binders do not cause the orange goo associated with fat blockers.

Proactol is a natural binder made from plant extracts that can also stop the absorption of fat from food consumed.

Proactol has the added advantage of being side effect free and free from chemicals.

Proactol was recently voted best binder for the second consecutive year by successful slimmers who participtated in a poll by the readers of the Telegraph.

There is undoubtedly more choice and a freedom of choice in the non prescription diet pill market place. The prescription only genre has very few offerings and all based around pharmaceutical drug compositions.

Xenical is by far the most frequently and commonly administered diet drug – although not completely side effect free it offers sufferers of obesity a high chance of weight loss success.

Visiting your GP or doctor and simply asking for a diet pill via prescription is often met with disappointment. In order to qualify for a prescription there has to be sufficient reason – it is highly unlikely that you will be prescribed anything unless you are classed as very over weight or obese.

Orlistat is available over the counter under the brand name Alli - More about Alli

In most circumstances if your Body Mass Index (BMI) is over 30 – you may well be considered for a course of Xenical. Check your BMI

What Is Xenical

Xenical is the trade or brand name of the chemically produced diet drug Orlistat – Orlistat is an extremely strong fat blocker that can prevent the absorption of unhealthy and excess fat from the food that we eat.

How Does Xenical Work

A fat blocking genre of diet pill that can prevent the absorption over a quarter of fat attached to food consumed . It does not suppress appetite, effect the metabolism or have any affect on the brain – it is purely a digestive process that tackles the problem of obesity head on and at source rather than treat the after effects of overindulgence or over eating.

The undigested fat can then pass naturally through the body and leave via a bowel movement. There is nothing complicated in the process – if a dieter were eat his or her normal or usual food portion they would be better off by 25% in terms of introducing fat or calories of any kind into their body.

Side Effects Of Xenical

It would be irresponsible not to highlight the potential side effects that could be caused – after all Xenical is a drug and not a natural or herbal product and so does contain a slight risk to health.

One of the less severe side effects that has been reported is an increase in the frequency of bowel movements and an unusual or messy stool. Although this is classed as side effect it is a byproduct and effect of the drug actually working – undigested fat has to leave the body somehow.

Another side effect that although not common but nonetheless reported is mild to painful skin rashes.

This is one of the reasons it is vital to not attempt to purchase form any source, be it internet or high street -  Xenical must only be taken under strict GP supervision.

Do Not Take Xenical If

• You have anorexia or bulimia
• You have diabetes
• You have or have had kidney stones
• You are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or nursing a child

Is Xenical Effective For Weight Loss

Xenical (Orlistat) is an extremely effective diet drug -  it has been the GP recommended diet tablet and slimming pill of choice for many years. As Xenical is prescription only it is definitely not advised to buy or administer it without GP supervision. It is estimated that over 90% of the Xenical tablets that are advertised to buy freely over the counter or via the internet are either counterfeit or dangerous – or both.

How To Obtain Xenical Orlistat

As described previously Xenical is not available to anyone – the fist course of action should be to visit your GP if you have concerns over your current weight. It is unlikely that your GP will prescribe (if at all) on your first visit. Ensure that you take with you (to your GP appointment) a daily food intake or dietary plan.

Xenical Alternative

Proactol shares similarities with Xenical but is very much the natural alternative. Proactol is a fat binder and works in a similar vein by preventing the absorption of fat but without the potential side effects. Read Proactol Review

Proactol is available to buy without the need for a prescription and has received glowing testimonies from the medical fraternity and has been give the status of Medical Device Type 1

In the summer of 2008 it was voted one of the Top 5 Ways To Lose Weight by successful slimmers who participated in survey lead by the Daily Telegraph. Read the Telegraph Report

Proactol can only be purchased direct from the manufacturers – who in turn can control the distribution (an ideal situation which other diet pill manufacturers and producers should take note of.)

Orders can be placed either online  or via the telephone. All the benefits of Xenical but available without prescription. Visit Proactol Website
