Thanks, Poet. When I first started taking Xenical, I took it with a high fat meal, thinking it would alleviate much of the fat and calories from my food - sort of letting me have my cake and eat it too. The side effects were horrible, and I don't think I lost any weight. I still take Xenical and still have some treatment side effects, but nothing like when I first started taking it. I try to watch my fat intake now and the treatment side effects have been minor. I cheat occasionally, but I know I will pay for it several days later!
Poet, did the woman who lost 7 lbs. change her way of eating to lose 7 lbs.? In other words, if she changed her way of eating, might she have lost 7 lbs. without Alli? Thanks.
