How To Avoid The Alli "Oops!"
It can be your best friend in the fight against fat — Alli - the first over the counter diet drug approved by the FDA.
-
Step 1:
-
Be A Weekend Warrior
-
If you're taking a drug with side effects like Alli, it's best to stay near a toilet-at least in the beginning.
-
The company actually recommends that you start on a Friday, you have the weekend to get used to potential gas increase, potential bloating and also potentially uncontrollable bowel movements.
-
Step 2:
-
Face The Fat
-
Alli actually stops the body from digesting one-quarter of the fat you eat. Say you eat a burger packed with 68 grams of fat. When you take Alli, your body only absorbs 51 grams. Finally, a pill that makes fat disappear!
-
But there's a deal-breaker side effect- a digestive disaster that could force you into diapers.
-
Tip: To prevent the oops, Alli-makers recommend reducing your fat intake before starting the drug. It's a wise move - the more fat you eat, the more you'll need to eliminate. Another tip to avoiding embarrassment - eat less than 42 grams of fat a day.
-
Step 3:
-
Protect From Behind
-
While you continue to adjust to Alli, avoid wearing white.
-
While passing gas, you may end up with an oily discharge. Play it safe with dark pants.
-
Although it may not be sexy, wearing an adult diaper offers impenetrable protection.
-
Step 4:
-
Follow the directions
-
A pill before meals, three times a day. No more. Otherwise, mess with the Alli dose and it will mess with you.
