While taking Xenical can I diet?
Taking Xenical will help you increase your weight loss and does not specifically
require you to radically change your diet. While taking Xenical you can eat
almost anything that you normally would do. To get the best results out of
taking Xenical you should aim to reduce your daily calorie intake by 20% which
is roughly 600 calories, and try to avoid fatty foods. Since the body does
require some fat to remain functionally efficient, the reduction in fat can
occur over the three main meals. There is no recommended diet that complies
with the taking on Xenical, so you just need to try and eat healthily and
sensibly.
While taking Xenical do I need to exercise?
To have a healthy lifestyle everyone should take some exercise in some form
or another. By increasing your amount of physical activity, by however much,
is good for you and if done in conjunction with taking Xenical will help you
reach your weight goal.
Does taking vitamins help with weight loss?
If you are eating a healthy diet you will not generally need any vitamin
supplements. Any supplements that you are considering taking should be discussed
with your doctor.
What are the side effects with taking Xenical?
In the studies into the taking of Xenical, there have been some side effects
reported but these do not affect everybody. Most of the side effects are caused
by the Xenical blocking the absorption of fat into the body. The fat that
has been blocked from being absorbed will pass with your regular bowel movements,
but the following side effects could be seen:
More frequent bowel movements
Stools that have a fatty appearance
Increased flatulence
Each individual that takes Xenical may suffer from different side effects
and often these appear in the early parts of the treatment. They are gastro-intestinally
related and often will settle down as the body adapts to the Xenical.
Can other medications be taken alongside Xenical?
It has not been seen that there are any adverse side effects with taking
Xenical together with any other common medication. There have been trials
carried out in North and South America, as well as Europe with over 7000 patients.
These trials were extensive but you may want to check with your own doctor
and enquire about any prescription or non-prescription medication that you
are taking before starting to take Xenical.
