View 3 RepliesOrlistat :: What To Eat And Avoid?
I'm fairly new to Orlistat having started beginning of october having not much luck on diets as I luuurve my food. But I had decided to go to my doctor and ask for help and she recommended I try these tablets.
I've struggled a couple of times trying to find the right foods but i'm slowly getting there i certainly have cut down on eating all the crap and stuff i love to eat but without totally having to give it all up by changing my fat/calorie intake. I have experienced the overload of fat once and it was not pretty lol, I will not be having a pizza for a while thats for sure. Its definitely a trial and error process just finding what foods work and wot doesn't for me and how much i can eat of it. I for one know these tablets are a god send as it stops me from having all those fatty lovely tasty foods that i know I shouldn't be eating and more of what i should be.
Orlistat :: Changing Your Periods
i have a IUD (coil) fitted so i very rarely have a period and if i do it only lasts a day or two and its very light, but this week i've had the worse pains and then i've had one, this might just be a coincidence as i only started taking the tabs 2 weeks ago.
i know its listed as a side effect in the leaflet but have many of u had a problem with your periods?

View 1 RepliesOrlistat :: With Eating Disorder
Basically, it seemed like it was at first then it just stopped, for ages (months) and it made me miserable because I was doing everything I could right, which was very difficult for me because I have an eating disorder. When I realised nothing was happening after all that hard work, combined with stress and misery (i have bpd and an anxiety disorder on top of the ed) I ended binging repeatedly. So in the end I just gained weight.
What do I do now? I've been trying so hard for the past year, exercise healthy eating instead of starving myself like i would usually resort to, and then orlistat. and then there was barely any difference in the end. I've now gained 10lbs from my start weight.
Is there any option after Orlistat, medication wise. I don't really want to contact my doctor until I know this as I'm embarrassed but I couldn't find any information online. I'm not heavy enough for a gastric band and I don't think that would necessarily even help me as it wasn't overeating that was the problem.

I have picked up my tablets yesterday so I can start them today, however I'm going to struggle as not to sure what to eat, I find it easier to follow a weekly diet that's already set out , I have purchased the alli book so hopefully that will help, I used to weigh around 11 stone until I had Idine treatment for my thyroid as it was over active and now it's under had major problems there which had made me stuck on 5 stone! I only eat chicken and fish every other night with salad and rice or vegetables and jp or sweet potatoes, is there any diet to follow on day to day?

View 1 RepliesOrlistat :: Bowel - Few Spots Of The Oil
Reading through the posts here about side effects (orange oil etc) I think I must be doing something wrong. I stick to 30g fat over 3 meals, sometimes less but still when my bowels move I have a few spots of the oil. Is this the tablets working or do I need to cut down my fat intake even more?
I'm eating about 1200-1300 calories a day and am logging everything I eat and drink so know that I am not missing anything. I really want this to work but not even dreaming of giving up as it's the only side effect I've had so far (this is day 4).
