How Does Alli Work?

How does alli work?

You're probably curious about what the alli™ capsule does in your body. Here's how it works:

Part of the food you eat is fat. Naturally occurring enzymes in your intestines break down the fat from food, so your body can absorb it. The active ingredient in alli prevents the enzymes in your intestines from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat cannot be absorbed, it passes out of your body naturally.

Unlike some other weight loss products, alli only works in your digestive tract. And alli is safe: It's not systemic, so it won't affect your brain or heart. That means it won't cause jitters, sleeplessness, or a racing heart.

alli capsules only work on enzymes that break down fat, not on other enzymes. So carbohydrates and proteins are not affected. But, since fat grams have more than twice as many calories as carbs and protein, alli capsules work on the worst offenders — the calorie-dense fat grams. As you limit fat and calories through diet, use alli capsules, and get more physically active, your body will burn stored fat for energy. And that will help you lose weight. But remember, it will take hard work on your part. Individual results may vary.

You may seek advice from a nutritionist before starting any weight loss program. The alli program requires a commitment to healthy eating habits. However, you don’t have to make these changes alone.
