I promise, you won't be using this drug on a regular basis when you have eaten a fatty meal. ONE episode is all it will take.
What this drug does it make you fearful of eating fat. So you basically pay money to take a drug which has zero effect......because you aren't eating fat in the first place.4 -
This sounds like a truly terrible idea, all the more so because you are clearly still suffering from disordered thinking and don't seem to have much insight into how disordered it is.
You are only marginally overweight for your height. The healthy way to deal with this is to slightly reduce the amount you are eating and/or sightly increase your activity levels, and to maintain those changes long term so that your weight can gradually reduce to a healthier level.
Feeling shame or panic over such a small amount of excess weight, feeling you "can't show your face", that the weight "must come off", contemplating unhealthy means to get it off and ignoring all contrary advice, all indicate you are not approaching this from a healthy place.
Please. Do not take this drug. It is not intended for you. It is intended for people who are dangerously obese. In your case it will do more harm than good. The problem is not your few extra pounds - the problem is your disordered thinking. Please seek help.7 -

Yup.
Alli/Xenical/Orlistat doesn't make you lose weight. It just makes you mess yourself if you eat too much fat. The fat reduction is supposed to result in a calorie reduction. That's all. And it's not even guaranteed if you're replacing the fat with other things. I'd find another way to reduce calories that doesn't involve greasy volcanic bm's.
And since you already have an ED issue, you shouldn't do it on your own.1 -

But what would be helpful is knowing how to fully utilise its benefits

To lose weight successfully:
Log and weigh all the food you eat, log all beverages. Log and weigh everything that you cook with. Log meats/grains/pastas raw. Stick to your calorie goal, not under, not over. Be honest. No need for pills/supplements.
Do this for at least a month.
If you're expecting to lose more than 1-2lbs per week, change your expectation.1
