“Helped me during times of weakness like Christmas and holidays! Got me back on the right track and mindful of my weight. They do work if you follow the instructions!”
“This is a really good dietary tablet and really helps you lose weight, it’s not like you just take the tablet and you lose weight you do have to exercise and have a healthy diet.
I would recommend this if your looking for that extra help to kissing weight.”
Hi Maria
Thank you for your recent feedback, we love to hear from all of our customers and how we can improve our service and range of treatments.
Orlistat is one of our very popular products, scoring 4.7 out of 5 from 600 reviews - with many patients experiencing excellent results.
I wanted to let you know that Orlistat works by decreasing the amount of fat from your diet that your body absorbs, this in turn helps with reducing overall calories and aids weight loss.
The expected weight loss is about 10% of your overall weight over 6 months, when combined with a weight-reducing diet and exercise, this equates to about 1kg in a month if you are 75kg, so it is still a slow process and I can see that this is your first order that was placed approximately 1 month ago.
Orlistat also has no effect on other sources of calories, such as carbohydrates, sugars, and alcohol, so make sure you are aware of how many calories you are eating from other sources as well.
One reason why Orlistat may not work is that you may think that you can relax your weight-reducing diet, and the Orlistat will 'do it all'. This is not true. In order to lose weight you still have to eat less and exercise regularly. Orlistat prevents only some of the fat that you eat from being absorbed (just under a third) - if you do not keep to a healthy weight-reducing diet, and you eat more fat (chocolates, cakes, etc), the extra fat that you eat will easily cancel out the effect of the Orlistat.
Should your diet not be particularly high in fat, your weight loss may be slower than someone with a particularly high-fat diet.
As with any weight loss treatment, this should always be used in conjunction with a considered exercise programme alongside a healthy diet that considers the main food groups alongside calorie control.
The NHS have a superb guide on how to eat well which you can find out more about here; https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/
Otherwise, we have a guide (https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/weight-loss/guides/orlistat-diet-plan) which you can read on healthy eating, and also an entire section of advice on weight loss that you are welcome to read https://www.theindependentpharmacy.co.uk/weight-loss#Advice.
