Alli and Orlistat

Taking Alli or Orlistat has proven to be very effective in aiding weight loss, as long as a reduced calorie, low fat diet is followed. If this is done successfully, then Alli/Orlistat can help to achieve up to 50% more weight loss than just dieting alone.

The ideal Alli or Orlistat diet is slightly hypocaloric, meaning you will be eating fewer calories than you burn. Taking Alli or Orlistat medication means the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins are reduced, so it is advised to take multivitamins before bed to ensure your body is replacing any vitamins lost. Centrum Advance is a multivitamin that incorporates all of these vitamins.

Even though you want to reduce your fat intake, it is vital to still eat foods containing fat, as dietary fats are essential for cell growth and the protection of organs. In a healthy diet, around 30% of your total daily calories should come from fat.

Ways to reduce fat intake:

  • Choose lean cuts of meat
  • Eat more fruit and vegetables
  • Bake, boil or grill food and avoid frying
  • Choose low fat dairy options
