Alli/XLS Anyone?

Hi there, just wondering if anyone has tried these fat binding tablets like Alli or XLS? Did they work? Are they safe?

I haven't tried any of these personally, but I've heard they aren't, sorry. You could always check with your doctor I suppose?

Hi, I got Xenical from my doctor last year (I think it is a slightly stronger, perscription version of Alli). There were some pretty unpleaseant side effects (namely orangey fatty liquid in the toilet-and the potential to have an accident, which made me quite paranoid) so I wouldn't advise being far from a toilet. I did seem to lose weight easier but I wonder if it is psychological as I found myself actively avoiding anything fatty to ensure I didn't see that horrible orangey by-product.
Sorry if that sounds really yucky but I hope you get the gist of it!

Tried the XLS and tbh, they didn't do much. But the instructions advise they should be used alongside a balanced low calorie diet. Well duh, why do I need the tablets then? Waste of money as far as I'm concerned.
