I realize this podcast was from a while ago but I just started listening to your podcasts yesterday. I think you’ve got your facts mixed up about the alli pills. You mentioned a lot of negative comments about the pill but didn’t really get a accurate picture. Yes, the important part of the plan is diet and exercise and so a person could lose weight without the pill. The pill basically helps a person lose at a slightly faster rate. They recommend 30% fat intake, not 20% (20% would actually be an unhealthy fat intake because of reduced absorption). Thus a person on a 1800 calorie diet who recieves 60 grams of fat in a day would reduce their calorie intake by an extra 135 calories every day. (oh, and it costs more like $1.50 every day, not $2 every pill) It doesn’t sound like much, but it does add up. Alli has a VERY good website and a very great support system through the message boards. It has helped a lot of people lose weight – and encourages weight loss in a healthy way (lifestyle change, 1-2 pound loss per week). There ARE some people who stay on track because of the likelihood of having treatment affects, but I don’t think that applies to everyone. In fact, treatment affects are really pretty rare. I have been on alli for about 5 months now, have lost 30 pounds, am currently at a BMI of 22 – and I’ve never had a treatment affect. I have gone over my fat grams quite a few meals and still, no treatment effects. I think if you got onto the website, you’d be surprised by the quality of information and support available to individuals on this plan.

I have a strange question that I would love for you to touch on in your next podcast…I’ve been on a diet called the Tony Fergusson Diet out of Australia, its basically low carb diet that puts you in a mild safe level of ketosis. Anyways… when I started the diet I was 220 and dropped down to 172 pounds, Ok here is where things go strange, after I got to this weight I started eating Almonds Whole Natural and Smoked Almonds, and ill admit I did eat plenty but I also never stopped eating right or exercising and within a few weeks I shot back up to 200 pounds:( I’d like to know if you think the weight increase came from a result of the Almonds, and Basicly are Almonds good to eat on a diet? PS people say that Almonds have the good fats Thank you

The link is fixed to the five tiers of food now. I changed the link to a different site.

Hi Amy,

It looks like the beachbody.com site is partially broken. A large portion of their site, particularly the forums, are dead. Hopefully it will be restored shortly.

Thanks for listening.

The five tiers of food link appears to be broken. I hope you can fix it – I’d like to tape it to my fridge too! Love your show!

Thanks so much for answering my last post. I had been wondering if the fact that I was following a healthy diet and exercising was the real reason that I was losing weight and not the Alli pill. My husband told me that I didn’t have any of the “treatment effects” because I wasn’t ingesting enough fat. Thank goodness for that!! I’ve decided to give it a go without the pill and see what happens. I hadn’t thought of it as a behavior modification tool but since I did modify my behavior (out of fear!) maybe it did serve a purpose. Thank your wife for me Jeff =)

I also liked what you said about not completely depriving yourself of favorite foods. I allow myself to occasionally have chocolate of some sort because I know if I tell myself I can never have it I will fail in what I am trying to accomplish. I don’t keep it in the house but I do go out occasionally and indulge.

Thanks for your excellent show. I look forward to it every week.
