For many people, exercise is not a viable option to lose weight. They may not have the time or the physical ability to workout, or they may need an extra boost to help shed additional pounds. That's why many overweight and obese individuals are looking for alternative ways to slim down.

One of the most popular weight loss pills is Alli. It is the first OTC weight loss drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Because of this, many hopefuls are excitedly rushing to their nearest drug store to experience firsthand what this weight loss drug has to offer.

But just like any other drug, Alli may contain side effects that most people might not be comfortable with. Alli side effects - or treatment effects as the manufacturer calls it - may cause embarrassment and humiliation to the user.

This is because Alli side effects are usually experienced when you go over the allowable 15 grams of fat per meal. The unabsorbed fat will naturally be eliminated by your body. This means that if your fat intake for a given meal goes over the 15-gram mark, you may experience treatment effects like flatulence, uncontrollable bowel movements, and oily spotting on the underwear.

Many users report passing gas and simultaneously releasing an oily discharge. Others also find themselves in public situations where they suddenly experience an uncontrollable urge to relieve their bowels. Soiled underwear and even pants are not uncommon when using Alli, and even the manufacturer recommends you carry an extra pair of brown pants to be certain.

Alli side effects may indeed be humiliating to some, but many are still using Alli as a way to lose weight. To cope with the treatment effects, users share their experiences and advice - many wear a sanitary napkin or even a diaper when they plan to go out.

The makers of Alli recommend that new users first practice lessening their fat-intake for every meal, and then use Alli during their day off or when they're close to home. This is so that they can avoid embarrassing situations at places like the train station, the office, or the mall. It also helps to keep a record of what types of food cause these Alli side effects, so that you'll know what foods to avoid in the future.

The positive side of this is that you will really learn to control your fat intake for every meal. What could be a better deterrant the next time you want to overindulge on a second piece of double fudge cake! Most people, however, do not want to risk the side effects associated with using Alli.
