    Hi Heidi,

    That's great loss in 4 weeks well done :lol:

    Are you maybe eating alot of salmon? as that can cause the orange oil because of the omega 3 in it - although it's good for you, the tabs don't distinguish between the good and bad fats.

    I also seem to suffer with the orange oil and it is sometimes yellow - like babies poo :oops: I do have IBS and so whether that causes it I'm not sure.

    I recently followed a 7 week weight management course run by the local PCT and over the 7 weeks only managed to lose 3lbs but lost a total of 7cm from my waist which I was really pleased about. Did you measure yourself when you started? It's always worth doing so that if you don't loose lbs you can check for inches.

    Anyway good luck in the next month.

    Hi Hiedi,

    I'm just like you and don't count the fat at all - just try and eat foods below 5gm per 100gms. Maybe if I did I'd loose more weight!!

    im now writing all the fat down!! ive also asked MAP for the fat counter. im trying to stay at 30g fat per day. but if you have too much fat and have the 'orange' effect, as you'd be passing all that fat,wouldnt you loose more weight???cheers
