hi there
do any ladies follow weightwatchers whilst taking Orlistat?
if so how is your experience going?
I don't, I just look at the fat content of the food and go from there. But sure someone will come along in a while and say they do
Hi there,
I have always followed weight watchers for years (i am a typical yo yo dieter), recently piled some weight on and weight watchers would not shift it at all despite sticking to my points allowence so the doc put me on orlistat.
I had to re-educate myself away from points or checking the sat fat in foods and onto looking at cals and total fat. I own about 15 weight watchers cookbooks but cannot use them whilst on orlistat as although they state the cals per serving for each receipe, there is no mention of fat per serving at all so unless i went through every single ingredient in a certain receipe and listed the cals and fat in each then totalled them up and divided per serving, they are currently useless.
However, go back through some of the threads on here, i know there were a few mentioning people following the points system a while back whilst taking orlistat but not sure what sucess they had as weight watchers is a completely different system to cals/fat grams.
Good luck whatever you decide to follow.
just to say my Dr just told me to look at fat content of food and not to bother with calorie counting, that way things are very easy to follow and you only have one thing to worry about
