Fat contains the most calories from what you eat and this is the reason why to be a successful dieter you have to reduce your fat intake. Of course, it’s doable by just not eating foods rich in fat and by looking after what you eat in general but if that’s a problem for you have a look at fat blockers.

Fat blockers, as name states, block fat. Active ingredients in this type of weight loss products prevent the absorption of fat by the body and undigested fat after that is excreted naturally. This sounds disgusting but it’s proven to work and using fat blocking method together with low fat diet can actually deliver some significant results.

Method of fat blocking has been proven to be effective with the treating obesity. Also secondary health improvement benefits like reduced blood pressure and reduced incidences of diabetes were present. Orlistat is probably the most popular fat blocker, better known as Xenical – stronger 120mg prescription drug and Alli – weaker 60mg weight loss pill which is freely available to almost everyone.

Both these products are almost the same with only one difference – Alli is weaker than Xenical but both of them contain Orlistat. As mentioned above, Orlistat works by preventing the absorption of fats from the diet, resulting in calorie reduction and weight loss. This works without causing any serious side effects and FDA approval is a proof that but there is one thing that made this drug famous apart from its effectiveness – its embarrassing “treatment effects”.

With “treatment effects” I mean gastrointestinal side effects which result in oily, loose stools, bowel movement and sometimes you might run to toilet. Looking for some evidence on these I found some embarrassing stories on the internet. However, these side effects can be reduced or even avoided at all by following instructions and by having a low-fat diet. Manufactures always have been honest about these possible effects which is a big plus to them.

If you find it hard to reach your weight loss goals by yourself then fat blockers could be the right thing for you. Effectiveness of dieting with Alli can be by 50% higher that dieting alone.
