    Myself and my wife will be heading to chester next week for some early christmas shopping im oubviously following my fat intake to the dot.. below 5-6g per meal. Its the first time i have ate out whilst on xenical any tips or advice...i think a packed lunch will kill the romance ;)
  119. Cityredgirl

    OH DEAR, doc never told me about the second rule!!!

    I just try and keep below 5-6g of fat per meal so if half a tin of something is 0.9 and i want the whole tin i will count double the fat.Its does take some getting used too..whatever you do , do not have butter , 10g contains 5g of fat , I have cut it out completley....Good luck ladies x
