Hi Patricia
Thank you for your review, we love hearing from all of our patients as it helps us know how we can improve the service we offer to all of our patients.
Our clinical team advise that the objective of Orlistat is to help reprogram your body and your behaviours to be able to maintain lifestyle changes; these include a varied low-fat diet (with portion control) and regular physical activity.
The expected weight loss is about 10% of your overall weight over 6 months; when this treatment is combined with a weight-reducing diet and exercise. This is because Orlistat works by deceasing the amount of fat from your diet that your body absorbs. This in turn helps with reducing overall calories and helps with weight loss.
We encourage a holistic approach to weight loss, which includes eating less and exercising 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.
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.
From you order history I can see that you have purchased the 4 week course in October and again in January. As part of a sustained weight loss program it is very important to be consistent with your diet, exercise and consumption of Orlistat.
Our support team have contacted you to help make sure you get the right support in using Orlistat to get the results you want, just unfortunately we are yet to hear from.
We're always happy to help, so please do get in touch when you are able to.
