Alli Effectiveness
Combining weight-loss drugs with a low-calorie diet and regular exercise can help you lose more weight than can either
alli or lifestyle changes alone. Combining all three — medication, fewer calories and more activity — can help you lose anywhere from 5 percent to 10 percent of your total body weight within a year.
This may not seem like many pounds lost, but even modest weight loss has a significant benefit to your health. Losing just a small percentage of your weight can decrease:
* Blood pressure
* Blood triglyceride levels
* Blood glucose levels
* Insulin levels
Weight-loss drugs like
alli don't replace the need for changes in your eating habits or activity level. They mainly improve your chances of achieving clinically significant weight loss — the amount of weight loss that has a positive impact on your health.
