'xenical orlistat' good/bad?

Options
Hi all my doctor has given me xenical orlistat to help with the weight loss. I'm taking 3 a day just before my meals. They don't seem to be doing much for me apart from making me feel rubbish and anxious about what I can and can't eat to avoid the side effects. I eat a low fat diet anyway not making my daily intake goal on here.

    Hiya, im on the tablets aswell, as long as you dont consume more than 15g of fat in each meal you will be ok :-) if you eat a low fat diet anyway you may not see much difference, they are working for me as i had a high calorie lifestyle before these tablets, i now only eat 3 meals a day, rice krispies in the morning, soup for lunch and steamed chicken and veg for dinner.

    Handy Tip: take at least 1 multivitamin a day to stop your hair falling out and to make you feel a little better

    Hope this helped :-)

    I just started the pills this week. I don't think they are going to do much for you if you are already eating a low calorie/fat diet. I just wanted to give them a try to see if I can get a little boost to my weight loss in the beginning. I am going to try them for a month and then see if there was any real difference.
