Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read tons of reviews before purchasing these pills, to me the good seemed to outweigh the bad so I went for it. Let me start by saying this. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO CHANGE YOUR DIET AND LIFESTYLE, PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE PILLS!! Most of the negative reviews I read were all related to the "diet related side effects" but the package CLEARLY states that if you eat high fat food this will happen. (pulled this quote directly from the website) "Eating a meal with too much fat, particularly when you first start taking alli®, may result in bowel movement changes such as oily spotting, loose stools, and more frequent stools that may be hard to control. By following the recommended reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, you can minimize the likelihood of experiencing these GI side effects" Following directions is KEY. If you think you can eat cheeseburgers and pizza all day, pop this pill and lose weight, all you are gonna lose is tons of toilet paper. With that said, I simply love these pills. I have been on a low fat diet for months but have some stubborn fat that I wanted to get rid of. I also exercise about 3 times a week, nothing major, just walking. At first I didn't think these pills were working because I was expecting to have oil leaking from my butt based on some reviews I have read. I had none of that. I then decided to eat something high in fat just to test it out. I didn't have any oily farts or uncontrollable poop. What happened was when I did go to the bathroom the toilet was filled with oil lol. I wasn't running to the bathroom, I just went like normal. So for me, these pills are DEFINITELY helping me lose weight. I know when I have eaten even slightly over my fat allowance because of the tell-tell oil when I use the bathroom. If you are serious about eating healthy and losing weight the right way but just need a little help, these are for you. Please ignore all the negative comments about oily underwear and farts--it does NOT happen if you eat like you are supposed to. And I am not sure about a old formula versus a new one because this is my first time taking them, all I know is they work for me. This is my 2 cents. Hope it helps and thanks for reading.
