Alternatives to Alli While You Wait

Consider Orlistat, the active ingredient in Alli. You can find generic versions at lower prices than branded Alli.

Explore prescription weight-loss medications. Your doctor can assess your health and determine if a prescription medication, such as Phentermine or Contrave, is appropriate for you. These often require regular check-ups.

Focus on a balanced diet and regular exercise. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, combined with strength training exercises twice a week. A registered dietitian can help you create a personalized meal plan.

Increase your fiber intake. Fiber promotes satiety and aids digestion. Good sources include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Aim for at least 25-30 grams of fiber daily.

Drink plenty of water. Water helps you feel full, especially before meals. Aim for 8 glasses a day.

Prioritize sleep. Adequate sleep (7-9 hours) regulates hormones that control appetite and metabolism.

Seek professional guidance. Consult a healthcare provider or a registered dietitian for personalized advice and support tailored to your individual needs and health status. They can provide valuable insights and strategies for weight management.
