Alli Diet Foods

Alli is an FDA-approved, non-prescription diet pill. Alli blocks the absorption of about a quarter of the fat you consume, which is then excreted. Be sure to read about all of the possible side effects of taking Alli before you try it. And if you have a pre-existing medical condition or are taking any medications, it's a good idea to check with your doctor before trying Alli. When you take Alli, you need to restrict the amount of fat you consume, or you will experience unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects. Therefore, focus on a low-fat diet plan.

Breakfast

• Common high-fat breakfast foods that you should avoid while taking Alli include bacon and sausage. Also avoid fast food drive-throughs; the breakfast sandwiches and fancy mocha coffees can pack on the pounds. Instead, reach for fresh fruit and low-fat or non-fat yogurt. Choose whole-grain waffles and top with low-fat whipped topping or yogurt. Drink your breakfast with non-fat milk or water. If you can't drink your coffee black, add a low-calorie sweetener and non-fat creamer or milk to it istead.

Lunch

• Instead of visiting the nearest fast-food or pizza place for lunch, try bringing healthier options to work. Arrange turkey slices and vegetables like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes or sprouts on whole-grain bread topped with low-fat mayonnaise or salad dressing. Or for something different, add the ingredients to a wrap instead of bread for fewer carbs. Replace potato chips with carrot sticks. You can also pack a salad in a plastic container. Add plenty of dark-green lettuce leaves, spinach, carrots, green beans and even mandarin oranges. Or make a quick fruit salad by tossing together grapes, strawberries, blueberries and other fruit.

Dinner

• After a long day, many people crave comfort foods like fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and cheeseburgers. Try replacing the cheeseburger with a healthier ground-turkey burger. Mix the ground turkey with chopped onions, garlic powder and low-sodium soy sauce to give it extra flavor. After cooking, top with one slice of low-fat cheese and place on a whole-grain bun. Or bake chicken instead of frying it and add plenty of vegetables as a side. Instead of traditional lasagna, try a low-fat vegetarian option with tofu and low-fat cheese. Add a spinach and cherry tomato salad as a side, with low-fat dressing.

Meal Delivery

• Some people prefer to have meals delivered to them. This option may help curb cravings and help you stick to your diet plan. When you purchase Alli, you have the option to also purchase home meal delivery. Alli has partnered with eDiets, which allows you to select your meals in advance and specify a delivery date. This can help take the guesswork out of meal planning.
