I am looking to lose belly fat and considering Alli weight loss pills, I do work out and try to eat healthy. Has anyone tried alli and how good does it work, is it worth spending the money.

I just bought the alli pills, I am limiting my calorie intake for each day to about 1200, I haven’t started the alli pills yet, but have already lost 9lbs in the past two weeks just with dieting alone. I am establishing a pretty low cal eating plan before I start. My friend has been doing the same and has been taking alli for the past week and has lost 5 lbs, she hasnt had any bad side effects. I think that you only get sick after you eat if you eat a meal high in fat. I got the startet kit that contained 90 pills, eating guides, journals, tips n tricks book etc. for only 25 dollars at target.

I need to start eating better and getting into shape to run a marathon in 4 months. I did a calorie calculator online (entered age, height, weight, and exercise amount) and established 2500 for maintain, 2000 for fat loss and 1500 for extreme fat loss. Are these the amount of calories I should be eating without including extra for exercise?

Example, if I need 2000 calories a day and burn off 300 calories daily from exercise, does that mean I eat 2000 calories considering the 300 i burn is already calculated into that or do I eat 2300 calories to make up for the 300 I burned?

The calories for exercise are not already calculated. So if you need 2000 calories and burn 300 in exercise then yes you need 2300. Also take into account that you burn calories with your everyday activities. Sitting, standing, cooking, brushing your teeth etc. So make sure your body is getting enough food so that you will be good and ready for your marathon. Go to the website I put under sources and it will tell you to enter everything that you do in a day and the amount of time you do it. Then at the end it will calculate your calories burned through the day. So then make sure to take those burned calories into account as well.

secondly i need a two month totakl body workout i go to the gym 5 days a week i got all the time in the world im talking 2 hours +
so i need a program that will buff me up to about 130 then tone me up and i would like to reduce my body fat to about 8 % for a six pack and soccer

sounds like a good plan for basic bulking up check out muscle and fitness magazines when they have bulking up issues and get some good exercises other then that everything else your doing looks good..

Diet 1: fruits, veggies, fat free dairy, lean protein
Diet 2: fruits, veggies, fat free dairy, lean protein, whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice, ww pasta)
Diet 3: veggies, dairy, lean protein

Which is better for QUICK weightloss? All will have exercise with them.

Number 2 – low calorie. Leave out the rice and pasta, and go low on the fruit (one piece mid-morning). Eat about 1200 calories a day – 3 equal meals of 350 calories and then a snack or two of fruit. Drink a gallon of water.
