    Just find out how much if any fat is in there... But must admit it really does slow the weight loss down!

      hiya , im wondering if you can answer this question, Im a newbie (day 3) I had a low fat breakfast ( 2 weetbix, banana and low fat milk ) well under the 15 grams of fat per meal (I think) and I took a Ostat, but i remember reading somewhere that if you havent had your 15 grams of fat for that meal then you shouldnt take the pill?? I do want to take it because Ive just started and want to take the 3  a day  ... have you missed a pill when yourve been under 15 grams of fat for a meal??

      Hi, the only time u don't take a pill is iv u have just a Salad or fat free yogurt for breakfast when there is no fat. Other wise stick to a low fat diet and take a tablet with each meal.

      Good luck.
