Hi all
I am hoping someone could kindly give me advice on xenical please, to cut a long story short I have a bmi of 33 and have tried every diet under the sun over the past 2 years with some small success but am hopeless at sticking to anything long term! I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries in October last year and that does not really help with weight loss either. For the past three weeks I have been using an online food diary and am sticking to a set amount of calories and fat grams each day and finding this quite easy to follow and am determined to stick to this long term and gradually the scales are going down - 4lbs so far, my question is this, would it be worth me trying xenical on top of what I am already doing?, I know xenical gets rid of a third of your fat intake but would it make a big difference if you are following a low fat and calorie control diet anyway? I currently only have approx 50 grams of fat a day at the moment. Sorry if this seems a silly question but I dont really know too much about xenical but I am seeing my doc next week and am keen to get some info before I think about asking to try xenical.
Also are the side effects really bad? I know you only really get them if you have too much fat but I have to travel 2 hours on a train each day for work and am a bit worried, do you get any warning??! lol
Thank you
