Question by jc: How much fat can you eat with Alli?
I know Alli blocks fat, but it can cause some side effects if you eat too much fat. Does anyone have an estimate of how many grams of fat you can eat per day but not get the side effects?
Thanks!

15 grams of fat per meal….I tried this (even though I am not overwieght) and have had no side effects.
ummmm pretty much none. alli is very unhealthy.
It depends. Are you Rosie O’Donnell?
it tells you in the beginners kit, no more than 15 grams per meal. I took it and was so afraid of the side affects that i wasnt eating anywhere near that many grams and I only experienced a very mild case of the side effects one day when i had eaten out at a fast food restaurant
Instead of relying on medications to force you to eat less fat, try doing it based on will power.
The facts are, Alli blocks the absorption of 25% of the fat you consume. They recommend you eat less than 50 grams of fat a day. This amount of fat, so you have a reference point, can be found in half a Domino’s hand tossed pepperoni pizza, OR a Burger King Breakfast Biscuit with sausage, egg, and cheese, OR a Hardee’s Double Western Bacon Cheeseburger OR a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese and a medium order of fries. In other words, if you regularly consume fast foods of this type, you are going to have to keep away from them while you’re on the Alli program. Otherwise, 25% of the fat will not be absorbed (equivalent to about a tablespoon of oil) and guess where it will end up? That’s right: coming right out through the other end of your digestive tract and in the consistency of about a tablespoon of oil.
