A registered dietitian wrote last week in the Memphis Commercial Appeal that not one single patient has asked her for advice about alli. It surprises her. And truthfully, surprises me also. 

Losing weight is hard. We all know that. Why go it alone? Getting advice from your doctor, local pharmacist or a registered dietitian can be helpful if you're making diet and exercise lifestyle changes.

Let me share a few resources for one-on-one weight loss support, several of which are free.

1. Talk to your local pharmacist with general questions about weight loss (free).

2. Attend one of the free alli events GSK is hosting across the country. Each event will have a registered dietitian and/or a pharmacist on hand to answer questions. Currently, the alli Experience mall tour is scheduled for 12 cities, including Philadelphia, Washington DC, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Houston.

Note: if you are attending one of these events, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a Comment below.

3. If you want personalized advice for any weight loss plan that offers gradual and realistic results, you can search for local dietitians through the the American Dietetic Association. As a partner with the ADA, we encourage you to seek out registered dietitians to learn more about healthy eating habits.
