well its been nearly two months since i started taking xenical and no lasagne effects as yet. i have kept my food intake healthy and low fat and the i am continuing to lose.in fact when i went for my monthly weigh in at the drs the nurse made me get on the scales twice cos i had lost a fair bit.
it gives instructions and advice in the leaflet that comes with the pills. "over consumption of fat and calories may reduce any weight loss effect" and "xenical should be taken with a well balanced, calorie controlled diet etc etc ..that contains an average of 30% of calories from fat". the medicine then takes about 30% of the fat eaten and allows it to pass through the gut undigested which will help with weight loss.
as for what to eat when taking it, just keep the fat down. i eat porridge, skim milk, veg and salads,w/meal pasta,cal counted meals, ham, chicken and fish etc. i still have my "treats" but in moderation and choose a lower fat variety - baked crisps, hummous, biscuits etc. the other day i had a real pig out (i was fed up), didnt take my xenical all day and didnt have any problems.mad
