Alli diet pills?

i have some questions on them.
do you have any personal experiences with them? it would be great to know if they work or not, and if there are side effects
[i heard that bad things can happen to you if you take them..like leakage of some sort]i want to start taking it...and no, im not kidding around, this is a serious question: would i be allowed to buy the pills without a parent/guardian with me? [im thirteen.]
and no, im not one of those SUPER skinny girls that think they need to loose weight.
i feel like it would be good for me to loose some weight.any info would be awesome :]
Answer:
I just asked my pharmacist yesterday if they were selling a lot of Alli and they said not as much once people knew the side effects and that for some, they may have to wear an adult diaper to avoid embarrassment.This is direct from their website:
What are treatment effects?
alli鈩?works by preventing the absorption of some of the fat you eat. The fat passes out of your body, so you may have bowel changes, known as treatment effects. You may get: gas with oily spotting
loose stools
more frequent stools that may be hard to control Partner with a registered dietitian to start your weight loss plan
The alli program requires a commitment to healthy eating habits. However, you don鈥檛 have to make these changes alone. For assistance in finding a Registered Dietitian, visit the American Dietetic Association website.

yep it does have baddddd side effects they allow u only about 15 g of fat per meal and if u go over that u can have oily discharge and a lot of diarrhea its not as good as people have said and its quite the bother and no they would not let u buy the product unless u had someone over the age of 18 with u (unless u look really mature for ur age ;) my advise dont try it there are better ways to lose weight and save u some money!!

These pills are probably not good for you if you are 13. How they work is they block about a quarter of your absorption of fat. So they are good for very overweight people, but not so good for people who don't need to loose much. If you are young and still growing your body needs essential fats to develop your brain and nervous system and to help you stay healthy.
Also because the pill blocks absorption of fat anal leakage is a side effect. The fat you ingest will leak out of you and you don't have much control over it.
Check out the alli website though. Take their quiz and figure out your BMI. If you have a healthy BMI you may want to reconsider taking a drug to loose a few pounds.
Whatever you decide good luck. I hope this was helpful.
