xenical

I was on it until I started here in Feb I only lost two pound from December until February and since being here I have gone from 205-153. Personally I found I was a bit more laid back about my choices as in my head I was thinking it would sort it

What aa1440 said.

Xenical didn't work on me at all. Everyone told me I should start eating vegetables because too much fat will have dire consequences. So I ate a doner kebab to see if it works and nothing happened at all.

They work but dumping out excess fat don't they? But if you take them you can't eat a lot of fat because of the consequences. That's what loses any weight - not eating the fat in the first place.

That's what I think anyway

I've used a combination of the little brother of Xenical product called Alli - 1/2 the dose, but seemingly same effects - and the Slimfast diet plan (as well as increasing the sensible, but not always practical at times due to my work - exercise. Walking was my own personal favourite if you have the time and suitable access/routes). I have also used Xenical in the first instance to trial, but I went with advice to go with Alli as I wanted to do the weight loss experience as a project.

To be honest it does eventually drive the mentality that its ok to eat something thinking it will work wonders i.e remove your conscience/guilt factor. The product does work if taken regularly, but I feel its more lesson in reduction of fatty foods in your diet, through basically making you realising at the other end what your body is having to cope with. For me it definately helped, but there is a point where the reliance has to shift from help from others to helping yourself.

As for the side effects,I would wholeheartedly recommend talking with the doctor once again about this. These folks are the experts of your own personal wellbeing. Everything else is just peoples experience which can be helpful as it is unhelpful.

Best of luck,

I was prescribed this by my doctor earlier this year and the first 2-3 months I dropped about 18 lbs. I didn't have any problems on them...except that one time I ate some pizza...but that was to be expected!!

After those initial months though I stopped losing weight - I think my body had cottoned on to it by that point lol!!
