alli in action
Watch our film now to see how alli works inside the body to help you lose fat.
Fat is the most calorie-dense food you can eat, so limiting the absorption of some of it with alli and eating reduced calorie, lower-fat meals can help you lose weight. Here’s how:
-
to digest the food you eat, your body releases enzymes - there are different enzymes in your digestive system that break down proteins, carbohydrates and fats
A balanced diet includes carbohydrates, proteins and fats, which is why the recipes featured in the alli programme includes all three of these important food groups.
Examples of proteins
Meat, fish, pulses (like chick peas or beans), cheese and eggs. Some of these are higher in fat than others. Lean, skinless meat or fish is a good option. Be aware that cheese is a fatty source of protein and more likely to produce diet-related treatment effects than skinless chicken or turkey.
Examples of carbohydrates
Pasta, bread, rice and potatoes. On their own they are relatively low in fat, it’s what you put with them that you have to watch. Choose tomato based sauces or salsas, not the creamy, dairy variety. They are high in calories, however, so watch your portion sizes.
Examples of fats
Butter, margarine, cooking oil
General fatty foods
Some sources of carbohydrates and proteins also have a high fat content so this will need to be allowed for in your daily fat intake. Be aware of this with cream, nuts, chocolate, biscuits, cake, cheese. Remember that the way you cook food can add more fat. Avoid frying. Steam, bake and grill food instead.
- alli only works on the enzymes that digest fat, so proteins and carbohydrates aren’t affected and your body can still absorb these nutrients as normal
- alli works in a unique way by attaching itself to some of the digestive enzymes that break down fat. This stops some of the fat you eat from being digested and absorbed, so the unabsorbed fat passes naturally out of the body in your stools.
