Most legitimate diet pills--be they prescription or OTC orlistat (Alli) are only recommended for people who need to lose serious amounts of weight--i.e., it's meant to help people who are in the obese range of BMI. It's not for people looking to lose a few pounds. From what I understand, the side effects from fat-blocking medications such as Alli are undesirable unless you're looking to drop 40+ lbs.

From my personal experience, dropping 2 lbs. a week using just diet and exercise is completely feasible, and well worth the effort.
