I have been taking Orlistat and have lost 20KG. People ...YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO SEE OIL!!! oil is an UNWANTED side effect of eating TOO MUCH dietary fat!! Keep it under 15g low fat per meal and you likely will never see oil!
How long have you been taking it for please?
What are some good foods ? to eat
How long have you taken it for please?
But surely if you eat less than 15 grams of fat daily you will lose weight anyway?
@@dannykirsch You will, but the med will potentialize that as it will not allow your body to absorb even that tiny amount of fat. The long term results are significant when compared to only diet+exercises. It's a complement.
Very informative. Thanks
Thank you very much doctor very informative god bless
Thank you, this was helpful.
I started talking it 5days ago and I must say the oil that's coming out from my body is unbelievable.👍👍👍
I'm afraid America will invade my ass
@@Andrewbait lol
Have you had any leak of stool? Like mentioned in this video??
@@pv5176 I have a lil
Do you have oily discharge?
Thank u doc for info.😊
Hello! I'm a person who uses Orlistat for a while. I lost 0.8kg/week of using. Here's some things to know to make the most of Orlistat ( based on my experience?)
-make sure you exercise.. Only for 30 minutes is also okay! ( I walk on treadmils for 30 minutes with incline 10 speed 3.7, or walk for at least 5000 steps a day )
-Olistat MOSTLY absorbs digestive enzymes (lipase-colipased). So when choosing a diet plan, try to make it as close to your "eating normal" as much as possible. INCLUDE some fats in your meal for it to work! Ortherwise Orlistat is kinda useless if you 're undereating/ no fats in your meals
- If you want to, have LECITHINs ! For me, is Orlistat - wait 15 mins - meals - wait 15 mins - Lecithin pills. Lecithin speeds up your metabolism and is a wonderful combination with Orlistat.
- At the end of the day, if possible, let yourself get some VITAMINS, Orlistat slows down your body absorption of nutrients. So multi-vitamin pills might help with that and fight the side effects.
-If you don't have side effects its okay to not have vitamins ( I don't bc I dont have any bad side effects on me and i. Doing fine)
*OTHER TIPS FOR ORLISTATS I have:
- Orlistat slows your bowel movements, so if possible, try to do your number 2 first thing in the morning. You can control it if you let it out on your own terms so it wont makes you burst your a-hole as some unexpected moment😢
-Drink hot water right before meal! It helps burn the calories fast, and do throughout the day with cold water, this sped up your metabolism a lot
- I don't know how, but black non sugar coffee really helps with weight loss☕, if ypu drink it at some point of the day better with ice, if before meal (only breakfast) then id recommend do it with hot coffee first.
-NO ALCOHOL! With Orlistat itd ruin your body..
Hey thanks for the tips ! What do u mean it would achohal would ruin your body ?
@@cutekittycat521 apparently Orlistat + Alcohol is a bad combo when interacted w each other and would intefere with your weightloss
It's generally not recommended to combine Orlistat (also known as Alli) with alcohol. Orlistat is a weight-loss drug that works by preventing the absorption of fats from food. When taken with alcohol, the combination can increase the risk of side effects such as stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea, and gas. Additionally, alcohol contains calories that can cause weight gain, which makes it harder to achieve weight-loss goals!
@@tuminhnguyenpham5849 thanks for all that info ! It’s not life threatening though right? And if you don’t mind me asking how much weight can you loose from this with moderate exercise? Like working out 2 times a week do u think if u eat almost the same like not a strict diet but healthier
@@cutekittycat521 id say about 0.5 kg! Which is a healthy amount of weight to lose in a week:>
@@tuminhnguyenpham5849 oh great thanks ! Do you know how much that is in ib?
I love your voice dr!
Very informative
Thank you so much this informatic Video dortor b.y
I have h pylori. Too much acidity and gas, and breathing issues. Please suggest should i take orslim tablets???
Thank you sending u big hugs kisses from upstate NY love 💕😘🙏🌹👍 good job
Hi, Dr Yeung! Do you have any recommendation for a supplement that lowers bad cholesterol?
First week taking Alli… I have been inconsistent so far by forgetting to take it….. but when I do it’s like instant bathroom trips! I’m nervous to try it at work
a question what do you recommend me to take if not this one?
Thank you so much for this very informative video! I’m a newbie on orlistat and ‘been taking it for three weeks now. I have a question tho, can I take an appetite suppressant while on orlistat? what are the most effective appetite suppressant would you recommend? and how should I take it while on orlistat?
I usually suggest trying a soluble fiber supplement first, since it sometimes helps with side effects of orlistat as well: ruclips.net/video/Tl4YNFNig8I/видео.html
Most effective will likely be the appetite suppressant medications, and people combine them all the time. But you'll need to consult with your doctor to see which ones are ok to combine for you.

Can I take zenical twice a day only ?
And I am having ULTRA D ( 5000 iu) tablet is it okay to have it with zenical together same time ?
I started taking Orlistat about 5 years ago. The medication works for me because of the side effects. The side effects, when they occur, help guide me to reduce the fat content of the food that I eat.
@johnj7002 How long did you use Orlistat for?
Very informative. Are these 4 pills the same ? Which one is noat effective? Mysimba, Orlistat, Alli, Xenical
Just different brands. Orlistat is the name of the drug. Alli is a weaker version
Is it an issue to consume Alli if i had my gallbladder removed?
Can i take if i have hypothyroidism and taking levothyroxin daily???
If you recommend Xenical Orlistat because it’s 120mg couldn’t someone just buy Alli Orlistat 60mg and just take two pills at one time or do they have different ingredients?
They have essentially the same ingredients so yes you could do that.
Thank you.
After 2 days of taking orlistat 120 mg i experience blood in stool ..but i took orlistat with high fat diet ...please explain me should i continue or any serious side effects please
Hello Doctor, does Orlistat interfere with the use of oral contraceptives?
It could possibly affect absorption of oral contraceptives if taken together. If taken separately it should be fine for most people.
Is it ok to take berberine and orlistat some time
I have been taking orlistat for 4 weeks now. Have maintained each week. I have recorded all my food on myfitnesspal and staying to 1500 calories as well as walking more . I haven't had many of the bad side effects people talk about because I have been eating low fat foods. My sister has been on it but has not changed her diet. She has the bad side effects and has lost. Becoming very frustrated as I am doing what is advised but still not losing. Please can someone help and give me advice?
How long can you take Xenical and how long can you resume?
what if i dont eat breakfast? can skip orlistat? because mostly i only eat lunch nad dinner...just asking thank you..
whats your opinion on berberine
Is this allowed on plane in suitcase
Thanks for this informative video! I would like to ask , what the ideal time to take the multivitamin pill that contains A,D,E,K? Before bed with 1/2 glass of water or with orlistat time during the meal?
I heard that the multivitamin will not work well without having it with fat, however Orlistat as well should be taken within 1 hour as you have mentioned.
Most people are suggested to take their vitamins away from orlistat. In this case, you could have your vitamins before bed.
Hi, I have been using Orlistat for two months. By using it I lost 1 kg per week. I take one 120mg tablet with breakfast and lunch. For dinner I use optifast shake and I drink 400 ml of non-fat milk in two doses a day. I eat two low calorie and low sugar fruits a day.
Why do you do the milk?
hello dr.i want loss 15 kg.i m doing 24 hr and 42 hours fasting too.but i loss weight very low.and when i eat normally my weight gain very first.if i take this pills is it helps me???
When you start seeing orange spots on the sheets, enough is enough. That’s the only time I had a problem I guess, when I was sleeping.
Could you take this with an appetite suppressant?
Hi Dr Brian, can someone without gall bladder take the orlistat?? Would be great to explain
If you have gallbladder problems, you need to talk to your doctor before taking orlistat.
@@BrianYeungND I have no gallbladder for almost 30 years no other issues
Hello I’m wondering if I can take this with a meal replacement shake? Thanks
Some people do this, but depending on the shake it could cause you more discomfort. Always ask your doctor first.
Long term, meal replacement shakes make you gain. Go for moderation and long term results
Can an Orlistat 120 pill be cut in half?
Can I take orlistat while on IF
Can I double the amount of each intake to equal 120mg each meal?
Will you generally only have oily stools after meals or doea it continue throughout the whole day?
I find it happens during or immediately after eating
I am taking pantazol for stomach. Can i take orslim tablets also
Orlistat normally shouldn't interfere with stomach meds, but you should ask your doctor to be safe.
Can I take zenical twice a day only ?
And I am having ULTRA D ( 5000 iu) tablet is it okay to have it with zenical together same time ?
It's ideal to take Xenical with all meals, if you're only eating twice then it should be fine, but you should ask your doctor first. Xenical might also reduce the absorption of your Vitamin D so I'd take them apart.
I have been taking alli for 3 week.
I haven't start a workout yet but when i do i plan to workout 4 times a week, 1-1.5 hours every day.
And for my meal plan.
I usually dont eat breakfast. I eat rice, bean and meat(chicken, beef and etc) for dinner. And when i go to sleep i eat cereal.
Any suggestion to help?
Try to include breakfast.
Take out the rice and increase on low fat meat.
Also, take out the cereal, especially in the evening.
And 2 L water a day.
All the best!
What is the best medication to burn already stored fat
Exercise while fasting.
Hi - I have BMI of 25.8 with a BF of 26% and 90 KG weight at 6'1. Can i take Orlistat? My goal is to reach 75 KGs.
No
after taking reeshape 120 this month.I have not got oilly spotting. though i am not lossing the weight.
Same it’s annoying
Im starting this today Alli So Ideally Im to take 2 pills per meal to get the full benefits. I am 168 pounds which is obese for my 5'2 frame Im hoping to drop 15 pounds. I dont have a gallbladder so I am hoping this works for me. 15g fat per meal is what Ive read from many people I will check back in a month and update you. My biggest down fall is sugar, but I do tend to eat alot of meat, heavy cream in my coffee so this will be a learning curve for me.
Hi how was it after a month?
Yo looks like we're at about the same weight and height. How'd this work for you?
Hi, how did it go?
Hi ,without gall bladder your fat intake is anyhow not getting absorbed due to absence of bile in the intestine
But I would want to confirm ,with the name of the surgery you have undergone
Can you drink an alcoholic drink while taking this pill?
Can we use it in hypertensive, stroke or heart attack patients??
no why would you
Should i take xenical during before or after meal?
Can it be used while taking SSRI medication ?
I'm not aware of any major interactions, but always ask your doctor first before combining drugs.
Can i take orlistat while taking contraceptive pills?
No
Do you still take 3x a day even you are eating only 2 times a day? (Doing IF)
No you take it up to three times a day, only with food so if you only eat twice then only take twice
Yeah I only eat once a day for the most part. I've been that way a lot throughout my life and may snack here and there and eat twice (small meals sometimes but not often) so I'm on day 3 of a 30 day supply I don't plan on doing anymore than 30 pills. This is just a booster for me temporarily. It took me a long time to finally decide to try these bc a few people I know have either lost all of their hair while taking these or their hair has thinned out terribly but to answer your question, it only works with food in your stomach from what I hear so I take it once a day
1 year ago i use xenical for 1, 5 month and it helped me i loose 8-10 kg. But when i started use xenical for second time now, it does not helps me practically at all. I lost 1-2 kg for 1 month. But for the fist time i was eating what i want and even more and was not going to gym. And now i am little bit doing my diet and 2-3 times going to gym but xenical does not help me. So i really do not no reason.
how much did you weight the first time? what was the height and weight? just trying to get an idea before i order mine. i am 5 7, 200 pounds.
@@azeemraheem6655 i where 72 kg maybe and after 1,5 months i became 65/63 my height is 161 cm
Xenical is banned in India...but it was an amazing medicine for losing weight
Hi am eating very little would it still work if am taking 3 tones a day with one meal
Generally, people take it only when they eat something.
I take it only when eating oily foods.. bfast oatmeals i would skip orlistat
Hi I’ve been taking oralistat for a week and a bit and not had ANY oily stool is this normal?
Yes that can happen. Just make sure your dosing is appropriate.
Hello Doctor, can you skip orlislat if you skip breakfast and dinner.
I only take orlislat in lunch can it still lose my weight?
I'm usually a once day meal person myself and despite a few family members losing their hair after taking this (something people don't mention) I decided to take this recently but just for 30days as a booster. I don't plan on buying anymore than this 30 day supply. I literally eat baked fish and brown rice or chicken Caesar salad everyday for the most part and I have heard ppl say they have gained weight from Alli instead of losing. Now on day 3 (only taking one pill a day) I've noticed weight gain suddenly prior to taking the pills my weight was going down.
Yes, only take it with meals
Dr . I want ask you something. can I take Orlistat together with lechitin in oil form ? because lechithin also from oil. It will absorb the nutrient ?
Orlistat may block some absorption. It might also cause some indigestion and diarrhea if you take them together.
Because im taking Alli 60mg and its working as far as using the bathroom but why is Alli 60 and orlistat 120?
Because all is available without prescription and orlistat is double the strength. You could double the dose of alli to make it the same strength as orlistat as they all contain the same thing
Hello, can you purchase Xenical in stores like buying Alli?
Unfortunately Xenical is by prescription only.
GIRL DON'T DO IT!!! Xenical cost $120 dollars. And have your chest pounding like a drum and your body on speed as if you had 10 cups of coffee.. I paid for mine years ago and was awake for 24 hours with no sleep. I wouldn't get it if i was you Ignore this fool he's just trying to make money
@@Boricuasexii69 just because that was your experience doesn’t mean it’s everybody else’s and the statement about him just wanting to make money was very ignorant and makes no sense in this context whatsoever

I am on the 2 day and I don’t see nothing when I go to the bathroom nothing.
Give it 1week. Youll see oil sticking in CR haha
You shouldn't see oil! That's the point! That's the side effext of too much oil!! Aim for under 15g, low fat, pwr meal 3 times a day and you shouldn't see oil
@@emmajadeeaston4854but if you don’t see fat as your keeping eating low fat will it still work?
I started taking it yesterday & still no oily stool or oil coming out. I take it like 5 mins before every meal, I don't know the reason why is not working😔
isn't it supposed to be during and or after?
You're not meant to get oil leaking out! Or when you go to the bathroom! It's a side effect of TOO much oil whist taking the drug! Aim low fat, below 15g per meal and you won't get oil.
It’s to be taking 1hour after food
Dr. Does orlistate removes or dissolves the fat which is already deposited in the body for years?. I have taken orlistate for 2months but I didn't lose weight not gained. I used to get oily stools n gas only when I take oily foods once a while but otherwise with my normal food I don't get any oily stools hence I stopped. Plz advice if it removes deposited fat or just removes fatty in the food taken in???
It doesn't remove existing fat. It only blocks the fat you eat with it.
@@BrianYeungND Dr., how about existing visceral fat?
It doesn't get rid of stored fat! It only stops you absorbing some dietary fats, and also aids as a deterrent
Will taking hrt+xenical be safe for my body?
I'm not aware of any interactions, but you should ask your doctor.

Hi Dr I am about start this medication but do not intake many calories anyways throughout the day I fast with just tea and coffee do I need to try and eat breakfast and lunch?
You don't need to eat breakfast and lunch, but having only one meal a day may have it's own potential problems. We'll actually have a video on this topic coming soon!
Can it cause loose skin?
If you lose a lot of weight in general it can cause loose skin.
Hey Doc, can I take CLA while taking Xenical?
I was wondering that and fish oil
Hey Doctor. Is *Orligal(120 mg)* is as effective as *Xenical(120mg)*?
Practically speaking, yes. Xenical is the brand name, but both are orlistat.
Can 17 months babys momma take orlistat??
Does this pill burn fat you already have ? Instead of just future fat
It stays in the GI tract to block fat absorption by binding to an enzyme there. It doesn't work on burning existing fat, but if you're absorbing less fat, then your metabolism becomes free to work on burning what you've got stored.
@@sara-mc3rk do you think it’s possible to loose 20 pounds with this
@@sara-mc3rk ohh wow that sounds amazing thank you! Have u used it yet ? I plan to get it soon it’s just so expensive and it works better with a diet and excersize right ?
@@cutekittycat521 it's definitely possible but it's not going to be easy bc there will be consequences if you eat more than 15-20 grams of fat in one meal. I think the pill works for people by mostly becoming a deterrent. Because people want to avoid those consequences. It sort of forces them to eat far far far fewer grams of fat than they normally would and then THAT results in the majority of weight loss. It's an accountability pill that's going to have you pooping roughly 50 calories of fat out per 15 grams of fat consumed. That's an extra 150 calories per day on top of whatever caloric deficit you're in from cutting your fat intake. It's not a whole lot in the grand scheme but it will be more than just diet alone. If you cheat you will have oily orange poop grease leaking from you without you having any control. Wear black and wear an adult diaper.
If I don't eat fat but still take orlistat would it burn the fat that is already in my body?
If you eat at a calorie deficit, yes your body should burn body fat.
What a misleading response. Orlistat will NOT "burn" body fat if you don't eat fat. It works by sticking onto the fat in your gut from the food you do eat, that's why you take it with food. Eg if you eat a plain salad, you do not need to take Orlistat, there will not be any fat in the plain leafy salad the Orlistat can bind to.
I only use it as an rescue lol
Is ot normal for fat to come through pee with orlistat?
Fats shouldn't be coming out through your urine.
Take it either way. You'll see lots of dark orange OIL that your body expels and that is great!!!!!!!!!
