No change of underwear needed anymore!
I used Alli when it hit the market in 2007. As a result, I lost 23 pounds in 2 months.
I'm echoing the sentiments of the REAL reviewers on here, since many of the 5 star ones are so blatantly FAKE. This formula is not the same. One cheat after taking the OLD FORMULA, be it a slice of pizza, a bowl of ice cream, or even a fried chicken wing would leave you paying the consequences on the toilet or in your own underwear through the passing of gas. Funky orange unabsorbed oil everywhere.
With this formula, there is no fat being eliminated after consuming fatty foods. I've tried it and even doubled up on these pills with no "treatment effects". So, if the formula is supposedly the same, where is the excess fat going, GSK? Is it staying in my body? That can't be good.
I'm writing GSK and demanding a refund. With only 5 pounds to reach my goal now, there's no way I'm chancing this snake oil formula.
If you're in a bind and desperate to shed weight quickly, your best bet is HCG and light weights. Save your money on this crappy new formula.
UPDATE: I ordered "Obelit"- generic Orlistat from an Indian pharmacy... 120 mg and VERY mild treatment effects. I really believe the product was changed. Not convinced there was ever even a tampering issue. More like a lawsuit issue due to people having liver problems with the original formula.
