Hi, Today is my 3rd week taking Orlistat and the 3rd week of my calorie controlled diet. I went for my first weigh in at my doctor surgery and I had my doubts that there was no weight loss what so ever. So the moment of truth came and I stepped on the scales and to my utter astonishment I had lost 16lbs in just 3 weeks. I had cut down on what I had been eating, eg. no snacking, switching to sweetner not sugar, eating 3 meals aday and switching to semi skimmed milk. These arent drastic changes just small simple things that anybody could do. I don't go out everyday pounding the pavement or sweating my rear off at the gym, instead I have 3 small children and I just make sure I do the extra bits like I take the ironing upstairs oe we calea up toys together instead of making them do it. I also avoid lifts use stairs, or sometimes I walk an extra bus stop and spend 10 more minutes playin with the kids in the park. These thing are so simple and it all pays off and I would say it is all down to Orlistat. I take it with every meal dont eat too much fat and put in a little bit of effort. 3 weeks ago I weighed 105kg (16st 4lbs) now I weigh 97kg (15st 2lbs).

The idea is that you eat 10-15g fat per meal and Orlistat stops 30% of this entering your system..(you have to eat the fat to make them work..and you have to eat the fat to make your body work)
