One week in - doing OK

Been taking the tablets for a week now & sticking to the 15g rule so no problems at all. Must say I've found it easier than I thought to find foods to eat as I don't really like vegetables! 

I don't know how much - if anything I've lost as I'm not weighing myself am leaving that till I'm back to the doctor on 2 July. I do know my clothes feel looser which I feel is a positive, also I'm going to Greece for a week on Saturday and while I'll continue with a low fat type eating plan I'm not too sure at the moment weather to chance the tablets as I have no control on what the food is cooked in etc...

hense I'm not expecting a great weight lose on my 1st month but will see how things go...

    Come off the tablets 2/3 days before you eat anything that is higher in fat than 5g per 100g that way you won't get the side effects good luck

      No problem also when you get back eat as you would on the tablets 2/3 days before taking them again that way any 'bad' food will be out of your system hence no side effects
