    Hi Katie I seem to be on the same path as you. I've been on the tablets for 3weeks now & haven't lost a lb! Maybe it just takes time with some of us. Sorry I can't help you! Lisa, if you are being careful about what you eat, (no food more than 5g of fat per 100g, and no more than 15g fat...

    What the hell is going on?

    Hi Thanks for your reply. My doctor said that maybe I was eating too many carbs, and as they turn into sugar in your tummy, it counteracts the low fat diet. I hope that is it, & it starts to work for me soon. I thought you'd diasappeared Helen! What are you studying? Lins XX ;)

    What the hell is going on?

    Hi all I'm on day 18 now, and I've been very good. But absolutely no weight loss. I don't understand it, and I'm getting very low & sad. I'm going to ring the doctor tomorrow to see if she has anything to say about it. I'm on a lot of medication, so could that be something to do with it...

    New and a bit confused !

    Hi Babymable & welcome Yes that's right. As long as the food is no more than 5% fat you can have it, and your complete meal should be no more than 15g fat! Best of luck. ;) Lins

    Getting a bit concerned & low.

    For brekkie I usually have fresh fruit with yoghurt. Lunch could be a chicken sandwich (with no spread) & low fat mayo. Or one of the new "Innocent" vegetable bowls. Dinner usually a sainsburys be good to yourself ready meal - always below the 5g fat per 100g. :( Lins

    Hiya im going to start tomorrow

    Hi Jen, & welcome ;) with Xenical you should only eat food that is 5% fat or lower. each meal should contain no more than 15g of fat (made up of foods with less than 5g per 100g of fat). And no more than 50g of fat per day. Hope that makes sense!!! Best of luck Lins x :cross:
