When I just started my "diet"(more like lifestyle change
) I take Xenical. I was 290 at that point.
It's basically a fat blocker. If you take it almost all of your fat intake will go thru you. Literally.
You will literally **** oil. I kid you not! I only took it for two weeks, it was horrible.
I did have high (bad) cholesterol and BP, I could take meds for that, but my doctor said if I lose enough weight, they should take care of themself.
FYI, Xenical should be available over the counter sometime next year in the US.
