Hi there. I’m 26, 5Foot exactly. Had my DS 3 years ago but have piled on the weight since starting an office job and can’t seem to shift it. My doctor prescribed me xenical today. I am 73.3kg now. Anyone have advice tips or tricks or been on this? What should I eat? TIA

The most important thing is low fat. Orlistat stops you absorbing about 30% of the fat you eat. It just goes straight through! Be very careful. I have had patients caught short on the bus. Not good.

Oh god. Don’t is my only advice. Was terrible. I just couldn’t get low fat enough despite eating almost nothing out of The Fear. And weight loss was shit too. No pun intended.

Sorry to be negative. If it’s your only option, just be careful.
