More on Alli from Kimkins

With results like these for so many on her low carb diet it's no wonder Kimmer of Kimkins diet fame is critical of the new over the counter diet drug Alli which needs to be accompanied by a low-fat diet.

She says in her blog entry that on top of the worry of soiling yourself with a "greasy anal discharge" it appears that the drug only blocks 25% of dietary fat - it's basically half-strength Orlistat.

And you need to be on a low-fat diet and exercise routine for weight loss to happen at all - same as with any of those wonder pills.

Now get this, Kimmer has calculated that if you have a modest fat comsumption of 30g a day you will save precisely 68 calories a day by taking Alli - hardly worth the worry of not being able to reach the bathroom on time or the $60 a month price tag.

I still say you're better to change your habits into healthier ones you can live with for the rest of your life and spend that hard-earned $60 on something else entirely.

Hi tlcom

Thanks for your post.

I found out about the Kimkims scam yesterday and posted about it on my blog :-

Sad that something which many people put faith in is a fraud. Although I advise my coaching clients not to diet I left my readers to make up their own mind because many people had a lot of success with Kimkims

Following the extreme form of the diet (which most people don't do) is unhealthy - in fact all diets when taken to extremes are damaging - whatever you do, whichever diet or exercise program you follow use moderation and common sense

I don't know anything about the Kimkins site but I've personally used weight loss supplements over the years and generally found them to be helpful. While every supplement may not work for each person they are a boost in the overall process of weight loss. They tend to jump start the process and then you see results which build confidence which brings more results etc. Then add in exercise and you have an even better combo.
Thanks
