- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I does what it says on the tin. It works by preventing absorption of fats from the intestine.They run right through you
You have to eat as little fat as possible or you end up with nasty oily diarrhoea.
It doesn't work with a low carb approach.
It can be effective. I suspect that some of that is by making peeople eat low fat, to avoid the side effects.
It certainly wouldn't suit me

Hi there, I was on xenical a couple of years back and at first it worked for me, but then i reached a sticking point and couldn't shift any more weight. You have to make sure you eat enough fat in your diet to make the tablets work, but not too much that they don't absorb it all!!My mum went on them last year and lost 4st, so they work if you want them to.Good luck
