I am using Alli now. My RDI of fat is 60grams a day or 19 gm per meal. Following the Alli recommended low fat calorie counting plan, I no longer even reach my allowable targets. I have experienced "treatment effects" when eating an avocado or red meat, but nothing outside using the loo! (Thank heavens for that!)
My experience is that it's just a tough slog to lose weight after 50...but aside from not seeing the weight drop yet, the pro's are: I feel better, I have more energy, I wake up rested, I've learned what an "actual serving" or portion is (WOW!), I feel motivated to keep at it and the top one for me is I now know when I'm hungry and when I'm full and that people - is really big for me.
Being a working mom, who did all the shopping and cooking for the past 30 years somewhere, I stopped listening to my body. I actually like the feeling of being hungry, because now I know i have a "reason" to eat, not just because it's there...or heaven forbid someone else is starving 10 million miles away, so I need to clean my plate!
This journey taught me how to feel the feelings and not stuff them down with food! Love that!!!
