    Hello,

    Hope ur doing well,

    Before i start Congrats for ur loss keep it up,

    As for side effects you only get them if u eat too much fat,

    If ur your not getting any its good,

    Ive been on orlistat since june 2016 and ive only had them wen i ate way too much fat but that was wen i didnt know what i can n cannot eat,

    I havnt had side effects for months now

    Hope this helps

    yep, side effects only happen when eating too much fat - they are still working when you dont ecxperience nasty effects

    No side effects usually means you're following the diet to plan as you should only get them if you are eating foods too high in fat. Most people get them at the beginning cos of what's in our system already but maybe you're just lucky!

    8lbs in 5 days shows they're working - well done!
