I am just wayyyyy too cheap for Alli. I figure-- they want you to eat 15 grams of fat...and you will lose 25% of that, right? That's 3.75 grams. So I'd just eat a 11.25 fat gram meal and call it a day. Cheaper and no treatment effects!

I broke down after I said I wouldn't and I bought it on Saturday evening, so this is my official day 2. I have not had any of the bad TE, but I've noticed that the two times I did go

, it was VERY different from before, but not horrible. I've been sticking to my diet for the most part, although I did cheat and eat 1/2 of my daughter's small blizzard last night

I truly could not fight the craving away.... its almost "tom" and it's my hardest time to battle cravings.

My weakness is ice cream...whether it is that "tom" or not..I always want ice cream. I like the weigh****chers toffee bars, ice cream and I really like the low fat fudgsicles that have 60 calories and 1.5 gm of fat. It takes away my cravings for Dairy Queen!

Well I am off too WallieMart :) Looks as if I am buying the pill......good luck to me....eh. We'll see how this goes....but wait, what happens if I eat less than 15g per meal and take it does it still haeva little bit of an effect? Like will it take 3% away? :)

It still works...that is why you take it even if you consume a meal with some fat. They just don't want you exceeding what your target fat intake should be..otherwise, you might as well wear a panty liner LOL. Like I said, I've had NO TE's and I hope it works for you as well! :)

Well, this is going to be very interesting with so many of us giving Alli a try. Okay, you're not supposed to exceed 15g of fat per meal? So, how low in fat grams does a meal have to be not to take the pill? You probably already answered that question in an earlier post, but I'm too sleepy to go back. Anyway, I'm getting my kit tomorrow and will check back in then.

I've heard conflicting info regarding when you are to take a pill, but I read it as if you eat anything that has fat in it, you should take a pill. Your goal is to consume 15 gms of fat or less per meal....but this also depends on starting weight. They wanted me to eat 1800 cal/day and 19gm fat/meal and I just can't do that. I've been eating 1200-1300 cal/day with 8-10 gm of fat per meal (not at breakfast though) and then a few of my snacks have 1.5-3 gms of fat. I never take a pill at breakfast because I usually have a Carnation Instant Breakfast, yogurt/fruit or oatmeal.
