Hi,
I've been taking Xenical for a week now. After looking at my food diary - I use MFP my Dr suggested just taking 2 tablets a day as I don't really eat beakfast and if I do it's a piece of fruit.
I am following low cal and low fat diet and tracking on MFP. However I am having about 45g fat per day, but only taking 2 tablets.
I have had no side effects whatsoever - this could be becuase I'm eating low enough fat. But I thought that the xenical would strip out fat even from low fat options and therefore I would be seeing some oil etc in my poo (excuse the bluntness)
So is it working ?
Should I take 3 tablets to cover the 45g fat but only over 2 meals ?
I've experienced the tango effect before (I've been on Xenical and experienced this in the past when I thought I could sneak in a burger and chips !) but I would still be expecting to have some symptoms that it is working. Esp as I had a few chocolates etc yesterday (but still under calorie goal)
I had my weigh in this week and maintained previous weekly loss rate rather than showing any improvement now I'm on Xenical.
Any advice greatly received. Suz x
