Hey Chrissy welcome to minis.
I took xenical last year and lost 4 stone in about 3 months
Unfortunately the docs aren't so great with advice are they so yay that you found minis coz this is where I got all my info from!
Just make sure you stick to the 5% rule.....ALL foods you eat have to be under 5g fat per 100g.
And make sure you have no more than 45g fat per day, so 15g per meal.
I know it sounds hard but once you get used to what you can/cant eat it becomes so easy.
There is soooooooo much you can eat. Here are a few things I had while on xen.
Breakfast-
*Fruit and weight watchers yogurt
*Cereal and milk
*Toast with marmite
*A vege (quorn) sausage sandwich using brown bread.
Lunch-
*Pasta salad and a small roll
*Cup-a-soup with a small roll
*Pitta bread filled with salad and an extra light cheese triangle (about the only cheese you can have while taking xenical)
Dinner-
*Quorn sausages, beans and Mccain oven chips (only chips within the rule)
*Plain quorn and veggies
*Vege spag bol made with quorn mince, passata, onions and wholewheat spaghetti
*Sweet chilli quorn with rice and peas
*Pitta bread pizza. Spread tomato puree and cheese triangle on pitta, add veggies and grill.
For snacks-
*Muller rices
*Tesco potato thins (crisps)
*Weight watchers hoola hoops
*Weight watchers desserts (in the freezer at supermarkets)
*Cucumber sticks with cheese triangle 'dip'
I could go on forever!
See you dont just have to stick to bowls of cereal
Head on over to the xenical section of the forum and you'll get even more meal ideas.
Good luck with your weight loss x
