Menu Plan Monday-Alli, Week One

In yesterday’s post I wrote about how my doctor suggested I use the Alli plan to lose weight.  In order for Alli to work the way it is supposed to, it’s imperative to follow the calorie/fat guidelines.  If you eat too much fat and take Alli, you are going to have “side [...]
