im just starting a diet and have to loose over 5 stone im taking orlistat tablets and i was just wondering if its ok to have 3 weight watches ready meals a day to loose weight pls can any one help

I know the mechanism is inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipase so less fat can be absorbed but my question is can this be done with a single dose or does it require a period of multiple intakes before the lipase are fully inhibited over time. I guess what I'm really asking is can a single dose(120mg) of Orlistat inhibit gastric and pancreatic lipease short-term so the effect of a 25-30% reduction of fatty acid absorption in the intestines is achieved or does the compound need to be taken lo

I use dieting alone to achieve my goals and I'm satisfied with that alone. I only really use the drug when I have a splurge or a break from my diet which usually has a good amount of fat content. I figure catching at least 30% of it wouldn't be bad idea. I know the mechanism is inhibiting gastric and pancreatic lipases so less fat can be absorbed but my question is can this be done with a single dose or does it require a period of multiple intakes before the lipases are fully inhibited over t

My doctor gave my those pills called ''orlistat'' & told me that they remove fat & also increase metabolism, but when i read the info on the medication.. it didn't mention the metabolism thing?!!!! Remove fat from food!!!! not the actual fat .. It is not about wanting to sit down all day!!!!! i just want to know who is right me or my dr.

I have had this condition since i was 15 (i am now 31), and I have heard that it helps with the condition regarding insulin sensitivity and weight loss. I struggle with convincing my doctor about its benefits and i should give it a try but she is unsure on how it will help me. In the past i have been on the pill but stopped taking it when i was 26, i then was on provera to help with the periods and then stopped them last november and was put on orlistat to help with my weight. I have lost t

Hi guys, I weigh 224 pounds at present and my doctor has prescribed Orlistat capsules to take. I am just wondering if they work and how much weight loss can be achieved, and how long it takes to lose a significant amount of weight. My goal weight is 160 pounds. I don't mind how long it takes me to reach it, although just want to know what kind of foods you ate while on them, i know about the fat thing and sodium makes you retain water and so on. I'm thinking 10 months to a year to get my weigh

I've been on them for 3 and the first 2 weeks were going really, i had a couple of days where the most common side effect (urgency to go to the loo) was present now i'm in my third week not changed eating habits but havn't been to the loo right for about 4 days. I am having my monthly review next week with my gp so if no answers before then i will ask him. thanks laura

Ok, now I know there's 100's of these questions. So here's a bit of background. I used to be a size 8 as a teenager, now I'm a woman, so I don't expect to be this size, I'm fine with that. But I'm now a size 16 and the majority of this weight has piled on in the past year. 3 stone to be exact. I have been to a dietician, been tested for PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome, had my thyroid checked etc and theres no medical reason for the weight gain. I've been on Zenical/ Orlistat. My diet has been fine

Is it normal? Yesterday I didn't eat much fats, and had an oily stool?

Today I had. Small bowl of rice krispies with semi skimmed milk and one tbsp of brown sugar. A plate of spaghetti bolognase A small portion of spagetti mincemeat 4 pringle crisps. 1 slice of salami Later on I will have a banana and apple.

my doctor gave me orlistat/ xenical last month, so, it's been 3 weeks now but i haven't lost any weight yet. at the same time i'm going to gym, 4 days in a week, and ofcourse on low fat diet. i'm wondering how long it'll take to loose weight?

A bit of the background first: I gave birth to my son in December, I was already overweight when I fell pregnant and when I went into the hospital I weighed 15st 3lb (213lb) and somehow came out 3 days later weighing EXACTLY the same - i'm not sure how that works but hey ho that's how it is. Admittedly, for the next few months after Jake's birth I had mild post natal depression and really let myself go, I ate what I wanted, didn't bother making an effort with myself when it came to persona

Am on a diet of 1200 calories per day, i calculate everything i eat, so i wouldn't exceed my limit.. however, i am taking this pills (alli or orlistat) it is supposed to block the fat from the meal & make it go down with poop, so my question is should i count the calories from fat even am taking orlistat with that meal.. for example if i had a fried falafel that's 226 calories, but in the nutrition facts it says that calories from fat equals 135, so should i calculate 226-135=91 kcal ??????
