    Look at yr labels and where it says amount of fat per 100g it can't be any more the 5g per 100g and no more than 15 g per meal 45g in total for the day.

    Good luck.

      It's just the whole fat not saturated.

      Eg bag of walkers crisp is 7.2g of fat as they are only 25grams a bag. BUT..... the %of fat per 100g is over 30. U need to look at the per 100g and don't go over 5g per 100g so crisp are no no !! Else u will poo yr self lol. Add up the fat u eat and don't go over 15g per meal but everything is below 5g. Does that make sence lol

      Can I ask a ? Please.im getting these tablets tomorrow.

      If I eat a sausage and one is 5.7g fat and its 25g,I can't eat it right because 100g would be 22.8g fat,so it doesn't matter if im just eating one?.god this is confusing,I so would have eaten that lol x

      Omg no!!!! It's the 22.8g you look at. God u will be pouring oil 💩💩💩

      So many people get the fat bit wrong! Once it clicks you will get no side effects and the weight will fall off.

      Personally I don't eat anything over 5g of fat per 100g, the only things I pick up in the supermarket are things that say less than 5g per 100g 😁

      Download my fitness pal app. U can put what food u like in that and it tells u the fat per 100g. I was ok with steak but it has to be very lean.

      I lived on chicken and white fish! Even salmon was dodgy odd times!!! U have to be 100% good. My friend ate bad stuff and it was 2 days later it effected her. Her BMW car seat is wrecked!! She said it just poured out of her n there was no stopping it!!

      I had one accident , once u have one ud never do it again.

      That's the whole point, they don't make u loose weight they scare u into eating all the right stuff.

      I lost 5 stone by just being really good and avoiding fatty bad foods.
