Alli Weight-Loss Aid Orlistat 60mg Capsules for overweight adults

Product Description

Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But, the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body naturally.

Amazon.com Product Description

alli is a 60mg orlistat capsule. But it's more than just a pill. It's an innovative weight loss program that works with you, not for you. alli can help you lose 50% more weight than dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing the way you eat. The alli program starts with your commitment to adopting healthy eating habits. It combines the only FDA approved, over-the-counter weight loss product with an individually tailored support plan to help you achieve gradual and healthy weight loss. When you take alli along with a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, you can lose 50% more weight than dieting alone. For example, instead of losing 10 pounds with diet alone, you can lose 15 pounds with the alli program. alli is safe - it works in your digestive system, not in your heart or brain. It will not cause jitters, sleeplessness, or a racing heart. You can't just try alli - you have to commit to it. More information can be found at myalli.com, where you can also talk to alli users, registered dietitians, pharmacists, and fitness experts on the alli message board. Or talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or dietitian to help determine if you're ready.
Typically, enzymes in your intestines break down fat from food so your body can absorb the fat. But the active ingredient in alli attaches to some of these enzymes and prevents them from digesting about a quarter of the fat you eat. Because undigested fat can't be absorbed, it passes out of your body instead of turning into calories. The main side effect occurs when you eat a meal with too much fat while taking alli. If so much fat is blocked that your stool can't absorb it, you might have side effects. Because they are not harmful, we call them "treatment effects." These include loose or more frequent stools, an urgent need to go to the bathroom, or gas with an oily discharge. The excess fat that passes out of your body is in no way harmful. In fact, you may recognize it as something that looks like the oil on top of a pizza. Treatment effects can be lessened if you stick to reduced-calorie, low-fat meals that average 15 grams of fat per meal. Don't use alli if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you have had an organ transplant, or if you are taking cyclosporine. Do not take alli if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in alli capsules. Ask a doctor before using alli if you are taking warfarin. Do not take alli if you are not overweight. You can take up to three alli capsules per day, one with each meal containing fat. Take a multivitamin daily while taking alli capsules to ensure adequate absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K, and beta carotene.

Excellent coffee

Great coffee for a decaf. It is one of my favorites. Not too strong and not too weak - just robust enough!

I hate decaf coffee

If you are a lover of coffee, you probably agree that decaf coffee should not be. This cup of coffee may very well change my mind. It is smooth, bold, flavorful. I actually like it...a lot! Now I can enjoy a cup of my favorite beverage after 6:00 p.m. [...]

Taste very good

they are very chewy and sweet...which i kinda like, and my friends's kids love them...and enjoy having them as snacks...

Love the cereal - love these bars!

These taste great and of course the big selling point is the amount of fiber they contain - 35% US daily allowance! If I were going to be picky I would like less fat and more protein, but these aren't supposed to be meal replacements, they're supposed to be snacks. Since most people rarely get enough daily fiber with all the processed stuff they eat - I highly recommend these bars as a tasty supplement to your diet. [...]

Yor (in Thai)=Morinda citrifolia Linn or Noni

Yor (Noni) or Morinda citrifolia Linn. is a tropical plant native in Southeast Asia.

It is known to the people as a beneficial food. Typically its fruit's juice is taken as a drink to enhance bodily function and support overall good health. It is widely known as the "Aspirin of the Ancient". It's been successfully used for over 2,000 years in Polynesia, China India and elsewhere and grows best wherever there is pollution free volcanic soil. Botanically the fruit is called: Morinda Citrifolia. It grows on a shrub type tree and the size of the fruit is about the same size as a medium avocado pear. The skin has warts on it similar to a pomegranate. The shrub shows fruit some 10 months after planting. There are so many scientific and medical reports concerning about its beneficial properties as:

• Immunomodulator
• Antimicrobial
• Analgesic
• Antimutagenic
• Anti-inflammatory
• Adaptogen
• Anticancers
• Anti-ulcers

Scientific reports have been published on the therapeutic health benefits of Yor (Noni) especially with regard to its remarkable anti-cancer and analgesic properties. The extract inhibited inflammation by 99.38%, making it more effective than Pfizer’s best selling anti-inflammatory drug, Feldene (PIROXICAM) that inhibits inflammation by 99.12%. Some of the vital phyto-nutrients contained in Noni that provide nourishment to cells, tissues and organs, fight free radicals, ward off disease, and potentially mitigate or reverse the effects of aging and pollution are:

• Polysaccharides: stimulate and modulate immune system
• Selenium: an important anti-oxidant
• Anthraquinones: antiseptic and anti-bacterial, anticancers, stimulate T-cells to kill cancer cells, prevent DNA damage
• Scopoletin: anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial
• Terpene: detoxicant agent.

TaKrai=Lemongrass

Lemon grass is widely used as a herb in Asian (particularly Vietnamese, Hmong, Khmer, Thai, Lao, Malaysian, Indonesian, Philippine, Sri Lankan) and Caribbean cooking. It has a citrus flavour and can be dried and powdered, or used fresh. The stalk itself is too hard to be eaten except for the soft inner part. However, it can be finely sliced and added to recipes. It may also be bruised and added whole as this releases the aromatic oils from the juice sacs in the stalk. The main constituent of lemongrass oil is citral, which makes up around 80% of the total.
Lemon grass is commonly used in teas, soups, and curries. It is also suitable for poultry, fish, and seafood. It is often used as a tea in African and Latino-American.

Lemon grass is mostly used in Thai food for example Tom yum and curries. Research also shows that lemon grass oil is used in aromatherapy for its calming effect to help relieve nervous tension and stress. Lemongrass in some cases has been used as a mild depressant for the central nervous system.

Lemongrass is also used for the production of citronella oil, which is used in soaps, as a mosquito repellent in insect sprays and candles, and also in aromatherapy. The principal chemical constituents of citronella, geraniol and citronellol, are antiseptics, hence their use in household disinfectants and soaps. Besides oil production, citronella grass is also used for culinary purposes, in tea and as a flavoring

Makrood, Magrood or Makrut=Kaffir lime

The kaffir lime (Citrus hystrix DC., Rutaceae), also known as kieffer lime, makrut, or magrood, is a type of lime native to Indonesia, commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, and widely grown worldwide as a backyard shrub.
The kaffir lime is a rough, bumpy green fruit that grows on very thorny bush with aromatic leaves. It is well suited to container growing. The green lime fruit is distinguished by its bumpy exterior and its small size (approx. 4 cm wide).

Its hourglass-shaped leaves (comprising the leaf blade plus a flattened, leaf-like leaf-stalk or petiole) are widely used in Thai cuisine (for dishes such as tom yum), Lao cuisine, and Cambodian cuisine, for the base paste known as "Krueng". The leaves are also popular in Indonesian cuisine (especially Balinese and Javanese), for foods such as sayur assam - literally sour vegetables, and are also used along with Indonesian bay leaf for chicken and fish. They are also found in Malay and Burmese cuisines.
The leaves can be used fresh or dried, and can be stored frozen.
The juice and rinds of the kaffir lime are used in traditional Indonesian medicine; for this reason the fruit is sometimes referred to in Indonesia as jeruk obat - literally "medicine citrus". The oil from the rind also has strong insecticidal properties.
The zest of the fruit is widely used in creole cuisine and to impart flavor to "arranged" rums in the Réunion island and Madagascar.
