M.:
Few years before it was approved here at the US, it was approved in my natal south america country. The product was expensive as well, in my office, everybody started taking it and trying to follow all the recomendations, included me. It's kind of discouraging to say that nobody lost over 3-4 pounds and the effects were absollutely awfull...
Anyways, it may work for some people, but for 100% of the people I know, didn't work.
A dietician said (in reference to Alli), that what makes american people get fat, is the size of the portions, the high sugar/high refined carbohidrates diets, and not the fat that Alli partially blocks, so the results are virtually minimum, compared with the price of the product.
Well, it was my personal experience and opinion.
good luck,
Eli
