Q3. How does alli help you to lose weight?

A3. Alli binds itself to pancreatic and gastric enzymes which are responsible for breaking down fats within our food. This fat is then absorbed by our bodies.

Fat is high in calories so the more of this you consume the greater the chance you will put on weight. But alli prevents some of this from happening. Around 25% of fat in your food is not broken down and absorbed into your body. This fat is then expelled from your body via faeces.

If fat is not absorbed then it is unable to lead to weight gain. So, a reduction in the amount of fat absorbed means a reduction in calories. This reduction will lead to weight loss.

The most effective way of losing weight using alli is with a low fat diet and exercise plan.
