Weight loss and Obesity
It has been reported that moving into 2009 almost 33% of children in the UK will be over weight or obese by age 11, up to 9000 adults are expected to die early due to obesity in the next year and that by 2012, 1 in 3 adults will be overweight or obese. These stats alone are enough to prove that obesity and being over weight are real threats to a growing percentage of England's population. Because of the growing threat these conditions have on the general health and life expectancy of Britain's, the country has started taking drastic measures to publicly help those in need of shedding a few pounds in the name of good health. By embracing particular weight loss medications and treatments, both prescription and over the counter, the UK is trying to overcome the obesity problem by curving it with efficient weight loss treatments and plans. Currently, the two weight loss treatments most sought after are the prescription drug, Xenical and the over-the-counter treatment, alli™. |

What is alli™ (Orlistat)?
alli™ is the only over-the-counter anti obesity/weight loss treatment that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). alli™ is promoted as a life changing weight loss treatment plan made up of two distinct components, one being the actual alli™ (Orlistat) pill and the other being a tailor made, online weight loss program. alli™ (Orlistat) capsules work to block up to 25% of the fat that you intake through the food you eat, while the weight loss treatment plan tailor made to suit each individuals needs is designed to help people adjust their unhealthy lifestyles so that they eat better, follow realistic exercise plans and maintain a steady and healthy flow of weight loss over an extended period of time. alli™ does not promote an overnight solution to weight loss, but instead urges only those who are ready to make the necessary lifestyle changes required to lose weight to buy it. While alli™ (Orlistat) capsules do aid in blocking fat in the digestive system and thus can accelerate weight loss, the theory behind successful, long lasting weight loss according to alli™ is a combination of lifestyle changes over time as well as the actual drug.

What is Xenical (Orlistat)?
Xenical (Orlistat) is a prescription drug that when taken in conjunction with a low fat diet and regular exercise regime, can help in successful weight loss as well as weight loss maintenance. It is a prescription drug as it has a much higher dose of the common active ingredient both Xenical (Orlistat) and alli™ (Orlistat) have, (Orlistat), and thus care must be made when analysing who can and cannot take the drug. In technical terms, Xenical (Orlistat) inhibits GI lipases, and in doing so blocks the absorption of roughly 30% of dietary fat in the body. In Laymen's Terms, Xenical (Orlistat) works in the digestive system to prevent fat that you consume when you eat from being absorbed into the body, and thus making you gain weight. As Xenical (Orlistat) is a prescription drug, it may come with several side effects. It is however only prescribed to people after they complete thorough consultations with their doctors, thus reducing the likelihood of severe side effects affecting them. Successful weight loss when using Xenical (Orlistat) can only be achieved is the pills are taken simultaneously to a fat reduced diet and regular exercise.
What is Orlistat?
Orlistat is the name of the actual drug responsible for blocking GI lipases in the digestive system. The higher, 120mg, prescription-only dose is known as Xenical, while the smaller, 60mg, over-the-counter dose is referred to as alli™. It can get confusing when you hear about Xenical Orlistat and alli™ Orlistat, but it is important to realise that they are different doses and can have different effects, as well as the fact that alli™ is an over-the-counter weight loss pill, while Xenical is a prescription pill.
How do I buy Xenical (Orlistat) or alli™ (Orlistat)?
If you are online and have done a search for alli™ or Xenical (or Orlistat), you are clearly looking to buy alli™ or buy Xenical for weight loss purposes. To buy alli™ (Orlistat) you do not require a prescription, and can buy it over-the-counter at most pharmacies that stock weight loss pills and supplements or you can buy it online at WeightWorld.co.uk, a leading weight management specialist website. alli™ 60mg is a lower dose of Orlistat that when combined with the alli™ Weight Loss Program can help you lose and keep weight off over an extended period of time.
If you want to buy Xenical, you will be required to do a consultation with a professional and qualified doctor. The doctor will ask you a series of questions relating to your medical history, current health etc and then asses whether or not Xenical 120mg is a suitable obesity or weight loss treatment for you. If he thinks it is, he will write out a prescription which you will be able to take to a pharmacy and buy Xenical. euroClinix.net is an example of an online clinic that offers registered, professional medical consultations with qualified doctors who can prescribe you Xenical online.
Which weight loss treatment is more effective?
If you are suffering from obesity or are unhealthily over weight and looking to make a change, both treatments can help you. As Xenical is a higher dose, it may be more affective, and can offer more efficient results if used in conjunction with the correct healthy diet and exercise. Xenical 120mg also promotes weight loss maintenance, which means that it will be more difficult to gain weight after losing it. alli™ on the other hand, is a much lower dosage, 60mg, and may take longer and require more severe and long term life changes to keep the weight off. The best thing to do is chat to your doctor before taking either and assess which one will be more suitable to your condition, the extremity of your obesity and the urgency to lose weight.
