fatty foods with orlistat

thanks britneyspears i'm just trying to understand it all as it doesnt make sense to me but i'm going to try and stick to a low fat diet

Hi Bigc if you need any help just leave a mesage although if you look around the boards i have posted lots on these tablets. They do work i was a size 24 last Janaury and am now a 12-14 and that only took a year good luck with your weight loss

well done! thats a brill achievement. I am a bit concerned that my Dr will not give them long term and i do belive this is the only way i am going to lose my weight and fell normal again. i will try a low fat diet and see how i get on so please keep your fingers crossed for me many thanks xx

Thankyou they will keep giving them to you as long as you keep losing the weight. I agree i felt this was the only way to kickstart my weightloss without these i don't know if i would have done it or not so glad i have though. Good Luck with your weight loss and let me know how you get on x

thanks so much for your feedback, it's good to have some support i will let you know how i get on fingers crossed xxxxx have a great weekend xxxx

HI BRITNEY,i have gone down prob nearly 2 sizes due to get weighed in 2 weeks so hopefuly i have lost another few pounds.I am starting to get a couple of people in work noticing as well so i am happy how are you doing ? xx

WOW well done bigc! that is great always nice when people notice it's a good boost i have now lost just over 100lbs so am nearly at the end of my journey but will carry on eating the same way as i am now glad you are doing so well let me know how you get on x

you have done amazing ! could i ask what a general day's menu consists of please i need to follow it !! xx

 

Hi @BigC thankyou typical day is shreddies for Breakfat then if i am hungry at lunch i might have rice cakes or soup dinner is quorn with jacket potato or rice and veg i only drink alpro milk or soy yogurts/desserts they are 2.3g fat per pot and are really nice you can keep them in the cupboard the chocolate one are lovley i eat fruit as a snack erm i used to eat meat which i used to get ainsburys lean steak 3g fat per piece or vension but i just stick to quorn now. Sainsburys do a BGTY Gammon joint which is 2g of fat per 100g i believe i used to have that. When i have a salad i literally fill the plate with salad and it's not boring i buy all different ones i have that with a jacket potato or rice and hm coleslaw/gherkins/beetroot salad etc i subsitute mayo for non fat yogurt. i used to be obsesed with mayo now it makes me heave Sometimes i make a hm curry.basiczally everyday meal really but using quorn instead of meat oh yes i have alpro hazelnut milk on my shreddies it makes it taste like whole nut chocolate without the fat!

I used to buy laughing cow light but i don't like it anymore tastes like plastic to me but you might like it

what do you eat? i also eat cous cous baked beans a lot of veg i stopped eating muller lights because of the sugar content and switched to alpro iand i make my own smoothies and frozen yogurt when i can be bothered!

i drink anywhere between 6/8 litres of water a day which helps

x

treats are ww puddings (sponge ones) or yoomoo frozen yogurt

Morning Britney,

My diet is very poor. I dont like any sort of milk so thats a no no. I have never tried qourn but i will. I eat steak, mince, indian curries and burgers which im hoping to cut out all of these (well i might have an indian as a treat once in a while).I've started buying marks and spencers feel full longer meals which are ok. I am buying a lot of strawberries and reaspberries, granola and greek yoghurt.I do like cous cous so that will also be bought. I bought water yesterday and lemon so im going to really make an effort and start drinking it. I was very ill last year so i really want to have a life change i have also split up with a partner after 15 years so this is my time now

Evenig bigc

I believe Granola is quite high in fat?! is it under the 5g? make sure the yogurt is either fat free or no more than 2/3g per 100g you dont want to waste fat on yogurt. If you do have a treat that is not in the 'rules' your going to get the side effects unless you stop taking them 48 hours before then 48 hours after you have the takeaway. Sainsburys do  lean steak 2.3g fat per steak you get 4 in the pack. Do you make a lot of homemade things as i notice you aid you bought ready meals which is fine as long as they are 5g per 100g. Good for you making time for yourself believe me my life has changed since i lost all this weight. I love cous cous too i make it up with a stock cube then add diced tomato cucumber red onion coriander etc and have either on its own or with quorn fillets and have yogurt mixed with sweet chili sauce on top sorry for the ramble lol x

morning britney wow you have some great advice thank you. i was thinking granola MUST be better than toast and butter or bacon? No i dont really have time to cook my daughter brings in homemade soup once a week which is lovely yes im gong to have to cook arent i lol xx

 

Hi BigC

aw thankyou i said to myself i would always help others once i knew how thee tablets worked a i got no support at all from another forum (not this website) so i read labels etc then picked this website to see if i could help others who were unsure of what to eat etc like i was.

As dar as i know granola is high in fat yeah everyone seems to think it's healthy it's not (the ones i have seen anyway!) a bit like those graze boxes people buy (no idea why!) and they think these are healthy snacks they aren't they are loaded with fat. You can have certain bacon trim the fat off the weight watchers bacon is about 2g for the whole packet i think or a bit more. Aww that's nice she rbings you soup if you aren't up to cooking could she make you maybe a couple of meals to freeze?

Butter is too high in fat and you must only cook with cooking spray.

You can have a fried breakfast if you pick the right foods and fry it all in fryligh spray i sometimes do this but obviously using quorn for the sausages but there are pork sausages which are low in fat and i'm afraid yes you are going to have to cook! of course you can live off low fat ready meals but they don't fill you up really or maybe i'm just greedy :D x

HI BRITNEYthanks so much it really is appreciated.I am going to really try and make an effort as i am sure i can do it and its great the compliments i am getting already but i want to really look fab at 60 so i am going to put more effort in. I really thought with the tablets i could cheat a little because if you are not really eating things that are fatty why take the tablets ?? i really am a bit confused there. xxx

Hi Bigc your welcome no problem oh yeah the compliments are good for a boost! someone else on this website just asked me the same question! i said i didn't know the answer but from what i have heard those who continue to eat high fat either stay the same or gain weight so i guess that's your answer. It will be interesting to see what my weight loss will be when i come off wether i will still lose at the same rate although i think for every 1b you lose the tablets help you lose up to lose an extra 2lb on top of that i believe hope your ok and having a good day x ps: how's the cooking going ?

MORNING Britney, i havnt actually cooked anythin as busy weekend with my grandkids but i did buy olads of salad stuff, prawns marinated in lime juice chilli powder and garlic  (lovely) that i served with salad. I took the time out as well to ensure the granola i bought had the lowest fat content (there was a lot of difference in some) and i bought fat free yoghurt so i am definitely becoming more aware of what i am now buying. Big prob now is when im out trying to find something to eat that is not high fat but that will be next big step i take. thanks so much once again for supporting me and hope you too are feeling great xxxx

oh thinking of doing a nice veg soup tonight to last a couple of days for work xx

Hi BigC

Aww hope you had a lovely weekend. Your salad sounds lovely. Yeah i remember spending ages in the supermarket looking at the labels sometimes i go online and check using the supermarket comparison webiste then add it all in my basket and check the nutrition on there saves time in the shop! Your welcome if you ever need any help please just post here or message me Im feeling good thanks my OH is treating me to something big for losing all this weight so far so that's something to look forward to are you in the UK? i love soup always handy plus you can freeze have a good day x
