    Smiley....dont do it. You really dont want to experience the \"orange oil\" its not pleasant at all. If you get that you are eating TOO much fat. As long as you have some fat in your meals, no more than 15g in total then the pills will be working. If you have more.....the side effects kick in and from some of the comments on here you really dont want to experience it.

    I've been fortunate, nearly 2 months on the pills and the only side effect was terrible stomach cramps and being stuck on the loo all nite after eating only an egg! :o

    Eat sensibly and exercise where possible and you will notice a difference.

    Keep strong :D
