Xenical

Orlistat
Dosage 120mg Capsule
Xenical is pronounced: zen’ i-cal. It’s the brand name of the drug orlistat (pronounced, OR lih stat), a white to off-white crystalline powder. It was approved by the FDA April 23, 1999.

How it works:

When you eat fat, it’s broken down by enzymes called lipases so that your body can absorbed it. Xenical interferes with the activity of these enzymes temporarily, which blocks some of the fat you eat from being absorbed. This allows about 30% of the fat eaten to pass through the body undigested.

Xenical works only in the digestive system. It does NOT change your appetite. It blocks absorption of dietary fat into the bloodstream, thereby reducing the number of calories you get from a meal. At the usual dosage level, it cuts fat absorption by almost one-third.

Side Effects:

Normally, side effects disappear if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. Don’t be alarmed by this list of side effects. You may not experience any of them. Most patients experienced only one episode. The most common side effects include abdominal discomfort or pain, and bloating and gas. In conjunction with using Xenical one must change dietary habits as continued ingestion of large amounts of fats will cause unwanted side effects as this drug blocks the absorption of fat. This can cause very unwanted side effects.

Effectiveness:

Overall users report Xenical effective for weight loss provided you are aware of the need to eliminate fats as much as possible. Cheating or not following a low fat diet will result in unpleasant situations where extra undergarments may be needed.

You may know this feeling far too well, particularly if you have ever been on a diet.

How To Exercise Easily

1. Take the stairs: If you work in a building with an elevator, try taking the stairs at least once a day. It may take a little bit longer, but you’ll be burning fat while you walk. This of course may not always be feasible, but try to do it at least once a day. You’ll have even better results if you completely stop using the elevator.

2. Suck it in: It sounds silly, but sucking in your stomach throughout the day can actually help tighten your abs and whittle your waist. No one even has to know you’re doing it. Just suck in your stomach for five minutes of time
