Posted , 5 users are following.
i had my first day of orlistat yesterday adn i was pretty good with food considering what i used to be like before. i was wondering when the side effects kick in and also if anyone has any advice for what to eat? my dr told me no milkshakes (not that i drink milkshakes anyway!) and that was that!
(yesterday i ate what i normally eat but with snackajacks instead of crisps and a go a head bar (or 2!) instead of biscuits)
thanks in advance for all help offered, Angeleyes1910 x

It sounds like your GP wasnt very helpful. You have to eat no more than 15g of fat (both good and bad) per meal otherwise you get the side effects. Look out for the fat content and calories on food, packaging is better labelled these days which makes it easier.
These lots of help on here for food to eat but you need to follow a low fat, low calorie diet for eg a meal structure for me is:
Brekkie - toast, peanut butter and orange juice
Lunch - home made soup or risotto
Evening - pork and apple stew or risotto or soup and bread etc
Snacks are fuit, jaffa cakes etc
i hope this helps

The makers of the tablets (roche) run a website and phone consultation service that is really really helpfull. If you want the information quickly (before it gets allowed through) then pm me and ill pass it on.
General advice was to look at the packaging - do not consume anything with more than 15% fat per 100g.!
Speak soon

How do you measure the fat content in a fresh piece of meat/fish for example, Roast potatoes or a homemade pie?
