New to Alli and want to pester people for answers :D

Hi all,

I joined this forum a couple of months ago when I started calorie counting but after a few unexpected events dieting took a back seat.. but I'm back now though and on my second day of Alli...

I've been on the forum on the Alli website and I think I've got the hang of the diet. I'm doing 1400 calories a day and no more than 15g of fat per meal. I think I've got my head round it, although it did seem odd at first because I've always counted calories and eaten as little fat as possible, but really all I can do is see how it goes!

OK.. I have questions! As I always do! Lol. What I'd really like to know is if anyone else suffered with constipation at first? I feel like I need to go but can't, quite the opposite effect I was expecting. Do you think after another day or so it'll cease? Yesterday I didn't meet my calorie or fat targets by quite a lot - old habits die hard but today I'm making the effort to have about 15g in each meal, to see if this gets things moving.......

Letty, I'm afraid this seems to be the forum of the living dead, posts are few & far between. I pop in & post but I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth it. I'm sorry I can't help because I am 'regular' & really have had no side effects worth mentioning. Can I suggest you post on the Xenical thread? After all Alli seems to be just a half strength Xenical. There is also an Alli site .http://www.alli.co.uk/index.html Good luck.

Thanks for replying GtGn.. it does seem really quiet here.. I'll follow your advice and post on the Xenical thread
