Just Started

Hi all!

So i just started Xenical a few days ago. Im on a very low calorie and fat diet plus I'm exercising 5 times a week. I'm concerned the pills won't work for me. The are extremely expensive and I'm not really eating enough fat for it to block. I'm very over weight so I'm wondering will the pills effect my stored fat if I'm not taking in fat?

hi

they will only work on the fat you consume so if you arent eating fat they won't be doing anything. ...I took them a couple of years ago but didn't take them with meals that didn't contain fat. ..I.e. breakfast. ... That was in my doctors advice so I'm assuming it was the correct thing to do. ...

You should find that the vlcd does the trick on its own without the pills. ... I think (although I'm going back a long time so could be wrong) that they can stop your body absorbing some of the nutrients it needs so you could actually be doing more harm than good as your vlcd will be structured to give you the nutrients you need. ...

It sounds like you're doing fine without them anyway, so well done and good luck!
