I need to loose 10 kilos. Have been prescribed orlistat this evening. Took first dose. Just wanted to know wether it has to be oil free diet or only healthy eating.

    Low fat diet is recommended, if you eat high fat foods this medication will make you feel ill,like you need to go to the toilet F A S T ! It can be embarrasing if you are not near a toilet etc. You will need to read the fat contents on food labels and use little or no oil when cooking. Good Luck as these tablets do work for you but you also need to co-operate with them.

    Good luck just be careful! You'll find the things you eat in the first week you won't be able to in the second - I was snacking a little in my first week and then in my second I had a bit of oil. Snack on lots of fruit! I've found bagels with the lightest philly are good for lunch as bagels are 2.9g fat and lightest philly is 0.8g smile
