I think your new way of eating is great...bringing lunches, starting meals with salad, eating lots of fresh fruit, and staying away from high fat foods.
Glad to hear you didn't have any adverse side effects from Alli. I agree that it may be due to the fact that you are following a lowfat diet.
I'm wondering if Alli made it EASIER to stay away from the high fat foods (or if you were more motivated to do so) due to the fear of the side effects??
