Are you talking about Alli? If so, make sure you eat a low fat diet. I know people who have used it for long periods of time. If they eat too much fat in their diet, they poop in their pants because they couldn't get to the bathroom in time. It was designed for people to lose weight faster, but it is definitely for serious people. If you eat in a low fat way, you will almost certainly lose that amount of weight in that amount of time. Probably more. Just make sure to take a vitamin, and it is better if you take the vitamon at night. I did take Alli once for about two months. The pharmacist said it's best to take the vitamin at night because it gives your body all night to absorb the vitamins your body may have lost during the day with the effects of Alli. It's safe to use. Even if you're not talking about Alli, the product you are referring to is probably a lot like it.

I have never even heard of it...but I know about how much you want to lose the weight! I lost 17 pounds before vacation...and gained 14 back! I am so mad at myself. I went to Walmart the other day and found Crystal Light packets that you put in a bottle of water...its supposed to have metabolism plus in it. I drank one and got the shakes! There was so much caffiene in it that my heart raced.....so be very careful what you try!

I don't know and am would take caution when using diet aids. Though you may not loss as much, besides a good exercise routine, I take 4a tablesppon of vinegar and a tablespoon of honey and mix it in a cup of hot water. Taken 1/2 hour before breakfast and before bed each evening, it seems to help with some of my extra fat. I got this from a myspace friend living in India who has a lot of natural beauty tips and this is one I like.

I haven't tried it myself, but I did a little Googling and there doesn't seem to be any scientific backing to the claim that Chitosan is a "fat magnet".

Cyn, The safeness of the product depends on you and your health. In my opinion I would speak to your pharmacist and ask him or her to look at your profile of medications and then get their opinion if it is safe for you. For people that are healthy and don't take medications, it's probably safe. You just need to be near a bathroom because it cleans you out. I asked my pharmacist and he said no. It's not so much that it interacts with your medication but it flushes it out of your system. You can even call the pharmacist on the phone. Good luck sweetie. Hugssss leenie

You have to eat a healthy diet, it is just a fat binding formula. I actually have a product like that for cheaper than the alli, completely natural and scientifically proven. If you go on my profile there is a link to my website and the product is called chitolite. You can not be allergic to shellfish as chitosan is derived from a shellfish source.

they had something like that before-i believe it was called olestra/olean? anyway..i had a couple of friends who used it (it was also in some products) and i'll tell you right now be prepared for greasy runny poop.they said they were so disgusted it wasn't worth it to them.

Please don't take pills for reducing your weight. I never take pills. Better i can give you an idea to reduce your weight naturally, provided you need to follow. The physical exercise is easier and effective. I tried as per my elder's advice and now got reduced. I used to climb the steps one hour after my breakfast, lunch and dinner for atleast 15 minutes. That's it and it worked for me. Why don't you try this ?

Hello dearie... I looked it up online and if you look at the "claimed health benefits" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chitosan it says it would only help you loose like 10 calories a day! Doesn't sound worth your money to me, most of those things never are. The last time I lost any weight we did an Atkins style diet via my Hubby & this was before Atkins. We ate meat & veggies (no starches or grains) and went to the gym 2 hrs everyday and I lost like 35 in 4 months only problem now is that we have kids, no child care & the FREE gym @ his work also doesn't provide child care soooo we are out of luck & I can't get as nearly an intense workout walking pushing the stroller as I can on some of those machines. What's a person to do? & I can't afford a gym membership & most places that do have child care want quite a bit extra on top of the membership. I think something like say $3/hr... $3/hr x2 hrs = $6 x 7 days = $42 x 3 kids = $126 in child care fees a week so I can work out!!! Yeah I guess I'll be fat a bit longer.

I think your best is to call the pharmacy and ask them about the product and if they know anything about it. Another idea is to type chitosan in a search engine and look for it that way. I think I have seen something like this before, but I can't be certain that I have. I would say your best bet is something like slim fast. I lost 6 lbs the first week, and that's a lb. over half of what you want to lose. I also eat yogurt and that helps.

Don't try it. What the stuff does is prevent fat absorption by the body. It works, but you also will have nonstop oily diarrhea that is running out of your behind and no control over it. You will need to be in diapers because the stuff will just drip out nonstop. Rally yucky. It's also not healthy. You need some in your diet to absorb some of your vitamins. Better to watch what you eat. Cut back on the junk, cut back on the fatty foods,switch to whole grains, add more veggies. You will loose weight.

I have never purchased such a pill. I think I just waste money and not useful. better we do not consume such pills.

Sorry, I'm not a girl. Do not use it. It's not healthy, and it doesn't really work. Losing weight that fast is very unhealthy. If you really want to lose weight, and do not want to end up sick, walk 3 miles every day, and eat veggies and fruit only. I'd rather have you do that, then end up on vacation feeling ill, and sickly (even if thinner).

No, I have not used these products, If u do not want to pay for the doctor you can very well enquire for details at the pharmacy itself which sells this stuff. They may be able to give an idea. But confirm if it really works.
