Hi Guys,

I have been on this for a week and not really seeing any results. What kind of exercises do/did you do when you were taking orlistat and also what kind of meals were you eating.

thank you.

Have been using these tablets on and off for a number of years, and have lost weight with them too. But the main problems is not the side effects, its the psychological drives that most of us face, to replace fat with sugar and not pick. 

For me, my job means i don't eat regularly, get much sleep or have access to healthy food. Its difficult to stay away from it when your hungry, but it does work if the support structure is right and you can beat your cravings back.

I have been taking orlistat since the end of July2014. I have lost over 1 and a half stone.When the doctoe told me i was obesei was so ashamed i was nearly 14 stone i am now 12 stone 3 1b. I only eat low calorie food which is weightwatchers and fruit and veg and steamed chicken and fish. I have stuck this and intend to get to 10 stone. I never thought i would beable to lose weight but i am its a great feeling. I also do a lot of walking with my dog as well. My advice would be to stick at it even if you only lose a 1b a week. Is better than putting it on. Stick to it 100 per cent and it will work. I have not had any problems with the tablets. Good Luck to everyone it will work.
