I’m on Day 5 of Alli, and still without the “unwanted treatment effects.” I’ve lost three pounds so far, and must say this has been the easiest weight loss I’ve ever experienced.

Of course, I’m still keeping my fat intake low — with the exception of some nachos late last night. I hadn’t taken an Alli before eating them, though, which is no doubt why such a high-fat food didn’t trigger those nasty side effects.

My diet yesterday:

Breakfast

Eggbeater omelet with diced tomatoes and onions
1 piece light rye toast with “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter” spray
1 apple, sliced
8 oz. buttermilk

- 2 tbsp. reduced fat Hellman’s
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1/2 tomato, seeded and diced
- 2 green onions, chopped finely

- salt substitute and pepper to taste

Served on 6 saltine crackers

Snack

1 c. diced Cassava melon
1/2 c. low-fat cottage cheese

Dinner

Splash of balsamic vinegar for seasoning
