How does Alli help with weight loss?

29/10/2024

Alli® is a weight loss aid that works by preventing your body from absorbing some of the fat you eat. It contains orlistat, which blocks enzymes responsible for breaking down fat in your digestive system. This means that about 25% of the fat you consume passes through your body undigested and is eliminated in your bowel movements.

Essentially, Alli® helps you reduce your calorie intake from fat, contributing to weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet and regular exercise.

It's important to note that Alli® doesn't block the absorption of calories from sugar and other non-fat foods, so maintaining a balanced diet and exercise is still crucial for effective weight loss.
