Xenical confusion
Hi all,
I started my weightloss journey on the 5th December and started taking prescribed Xenical on the 9th January. Since I began I have never showed a gain. I have been consistently losing about 2lbs a week ( obviously this fluctuates over the month)
As part of taking Xenical they have a support line and send you a bunch of information etc. They also follow you through your journey for an update etc.
Now whilst on the fone she was giving me all the introductory bumff and told me that they expect me to be eating 40-50 grams of fat per day. She said that it is important I eat this amount as if I dont my body will go into starvation mode and store any fat I eat etc.
Now this is the confusing part.
I only eat 20g of fat maximum a day and yet I ve never shown a gain which would to me indicate that my body is not going into starvation mode. Ive eaten the same amount since I started taking the tablets.
I dont know if I can introduce another 20g of fat into my diet daily so im wondering if my body is different because it isnt reacting in the way she said it should. I dont want to deprive my body as Im just trying to be healthy but I dont wanna change what is a good healthy weight loss.
