This morning on the Today’s show with Matt Lauer and Dr. Nancy Sneiderman I had the opportunity to hear what the professional had to say about the new low dose of Xenical known as Alli . Today Alli made its market debut and the Manufacturer GlaxoSmith Kline has put 150 million dollars into advertising it. You can by a one month supply for $49.99. Alli is FDA approved and research backed (supposedly)
Is this truly the magic pill that all the lazy fatty’s out there have been waiting for? Does this mean no need to burn calories through diligent exercise and restrict calories through diet? My guess even before the conclusion of the news segment was NO!
Alli works similar to the Orlistat which was also FDA approved in 1999. It traps the bad fat that accumulates in our gut before it is transferred to the body’s fat cells. therefore fat storage is inhibited. Sounds interesting huh?
So where do you think the excess accumulated fat goes? Well according to many medical experts it becomes this nasty juicy oily secretion which is mixed within your stools. The end result is oily drippy stools which spontaneously drips out of your rectum. Experts have sited scenarios where users have had to bring changes of underwear, and pants for fear of public embarrassment. Doesn’t this sound like a fun way to lose weight!
The reality of this drug is that it is most effective when the user is already on a low fat diet and daily exercise regimen. Experts realistically estimates at Alli only contributes a 10% added weight loss
Ironically a leading physician and the author of the book “The Alli Diet” believes a 50% reduction in weight loss is expected. I think their is a financial interest and strong bias going on here!
Realistically speaking, if your net weight loss is 10 pounds through diet and exercise , then Alli has contributed to 1 pound to this loss. In my opinion this small added benefit does not warrant having oily dripping stools and having my trousers soiled!
Anyway, only time will tell the truths. This is all dejavu to me. I don’t believe for 1 minute that Alli is the panacea to weight loss. I have been a professional personal fitness trainer and nutritionist for 12 years and am very familiar with human behavior and eating, genetics and weight loss, and know the absolute benefits of a clean diet and how a consistent dose of intense exercise is an integral part of melting away excess body fat. I have worked with hundred of clients who have struggled to lose weight.
The grim reality is that weight loss is a SLOW process for the morbidly obese. It becomes an absolute mind fuck to have to lose 100 lbs when your body only wants to drop three pounds per week. If you read my blog on genetics and weight loss you will understand the correlation between genetic coding and metabolic peaks and valley’s.
There is an array of unanswered questions on how this drug will interact on the human physiology. here are a few of mine. This is Human physiology 101.
Did you know that you do need dietary essentail fat to trigger cholecystkinin in the brain. This chemical is what tells your stomach ” I am stuffed”
So what happens if Alli removes all the fat from my body?
Did you know that if you deny the human body essential fats, then blood glucose become unstable and we increase our carbohydrate consumption ? The end result is we become SUGAR FAT and DIABETICS!
Are you confused yet? Well, you make the choice and get back to me when you are ready to lose weight the correct way through diet and exercise.
