I'm starting my tablets on Monday and after reading everyone's stories on here I am in high hopes.  The only thing is, my nurse never gave me any diet guide, etc - I know you're supposed to eat around 5g of fat per 100g, but am I looking at the total fat on packet labels or the fat 'of which saturates'?  I want to start this on the right foot so any help is appreciated xx

      I got a diet sheet when I was given them by my gp. Also the chemist had a print off on things to avoid. I think all gps should do that as so many people don't know what to eat!!

      @fatfairy I so agree with you. Lets be honest the majority don't care and it's easier for them just to write out a prescription, see you in 4 weeks and  cheerio!

      Why won't they give them? doesn't seem fair seeing as you have lost weight do you find you can control the cravings now your off them? i did come off them last year and still ate as i do now and i will be coming off them very soon. I will never eat cheese etc again as it was my downfall i know i have strong willpower but i jjust would rather stay off them completely.

      Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when your friend explains that one! x
