Hi everyone-I'm a newbie and would love some advice before I start taking Xenical...or should I say IF I start!
My sister's on Xenical and though she hasn't lost a heap of weight she's quite happy. Both of us tend to be constipated normally and she's finding Xenical is keeping her regular with no embarrassing incidents. Aha I thought...this could be the answer to all my probs! Do low carb as usual, and the Xenical would keep me "going" but after reading stuff on here it seems this is a non-starter. So...I'm now a bit stuck as carbs and me are not a good combination and when I've done low-fat before I've had little success.
Also, I've read that some ladies have actually become constipated on it. Can anyone tell me why, if this happens, having a fatty meal is such a bad idea?
Sorry for such a long post but I'm desperate to lose a couple of stone and thought this was going to be the answer to all my prayers!
Thanks a lot.
