Xenical weight loss

Alli is a 60-milligram over-the-counter version of orlistat (Xenical). Both Alli and Xenical should be used_ in conjunction with a low-calorie, low-fat diet and regular physical activity as part of a weight-loss strategy.

The US Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of Alli in people 18 years of age and older with a BMI of 25 or more.

 Adults with a BMI of 30 or more are eligible to take Xenical. Xenical is also recommended- for people with a BMI of 27-30 (obesity) and health risks such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

How does Alli work?

Orlistat (the main ingredient of Alli) helps you lose weight by reducing the amount_ of fat you consume in your intestines.

Lipase, a digestive enzyme, helps break down edible fats into small pieces that can be consumed or stored for energy. Lipase is inhibited- by orlistat. About 25% of the fat you eat is not down when you take the drug with food. Fat is excreted- in the intestine.

How Much Weight Can I Lose Using Alli?

Alli can help you lose weight. But the weight loss will most likely be small_. It could be, for example, a few pounds more than you lose with diet and exercise.

According to research, more than 40% of people taking Allie to lose 5% or more of their body weight in a year during a calorie-restricted diet and increased physical activity. 

Clinically significant weight loss, defined as a weight loss of 5% or more, indicates that the weight loss is sufficient to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases.

People who followed a calorie-restricted diet exercised frequently and consumed Allie lost 2.6 pounds more per year than those who dieted and exercised.
