Taking Alli Randomly
I was wondering if anyone can help me a little out here. I started with Alli around July (I think). I lost 25 pounds so far and I am currently at my goal weight...or close enough. Of course I didn't JUST take Alli, I changed my diet and exercised...a lot. I stopped taking Alli sometime in November, in part because I have already lost a lot of weight and also because my joints were bothering me so I was afraid it was because of these pills.
Here's my question, I do not want to take Alli all my life but since I had some left over from last year I was wondering if I can take them ONLY when I have a very fatty meal. Last year I got used to eating healthy so I probably have a fatty meal only twice a month or so. Would it even do anything for me? Like last night, I finished a big buttery popcorn bag, felt guilty, took Alli and....nothing. No side effects. So what I'm thinking is that it might take a while before Alli starts working so taking it only once a week will just be a waste of money. Any opinions? I remember when I started taking Alli it took almost three days for me to feel any effects.
