Hi supergran
I've never tried Reductil ... my GP wouldn't precribe it because my BP was higher than was safe. He kept trying to 'push' Xenical but I DEFINITELY wasn't interested in that. Like you, I'd tried every diet going. The only conventional diet that worked for me was Rosemary Conley but with 12st to lose, I found it too slow and lost my motivation.
My life changed when I started the Cambridge Diet though and now I only have 4st to go to get to my provisional goal of 10st![]()
Sorry I can't help with your question about Reductil - but I wish you every success with it. How much are you hoping to lose by the way?

Wish to lose 3 and half stone,, have tried ll cd but i need food . tpotts and cheb who i work with are both on cd they look fab feel a bit of a failure taking pills but at this point will try anything![]()

Hi supergran, well i took reductil for 4 months and it really helped me big time i lost 5 stone andnit took my appetite away so when i did eat it was very small amounts, i am a serious emotional eater and i even forgot to eat, so give it a try, u r not a failure taking pills,as obesity as an illness and we need all the help we can get,the way i see failure is when u give up altogether and not try and lose weight at all, hope this helps xx

Good point Chicken!
Supergran - I hope the pills work ... and please don't feel 'a failure' for taking them. Losing weight and improving our health is the important thing and finding a path that is right for YOU is all that matters.
But as Chicken said, CD isn't a case of 'all or nothing' ... there are flexible plans for people who can't face sole sourcing. If you find the pills aren't working for you once you've given them a good try, then perhaps you could consider something like the CD 1000 plan whereby you have 2 packs and a really decent 'proper' meal. Worth considering!
Good luck!
