Anyone else taking Orlistat/Xenical too? How have you found the effects?

I was taking it last year, but even when i ate just porridge, chicken, salad and fat free yoghurt i still had orange 'squit' as i called it. I had a constant need for the toilet and leakage. I have done much better weightloss now i am on thia diet and it hasnt had those effects.
However, i know of someone else who could have a mcdonalds and wouldnt have side effwcta until she had been eating fatty foods for three days or so.
I think it must depend. . .
Let me know how you get on with it.

used properly the effects are good, a diet nurse friend of mine said. But Ive tried them and they were not for me, the orange squits and stinky wind were too embarrasing xxx

Oh I don't think these would work with Dukan! For a start you are cutting out the fats that these drugs work on, so that makes them a bit redundant. I tried them pre-Dukan and they had all the predictable effects - loose stools, wind, general discomfort - in a word, the squits! But what they didn't do was shift the weight...

So I wouldn't recommend, and its not a long term solution anyway.
