Understanding Orlistat's Effect on Fat Stores
How Orlistat Affects Existing Body Fat
Orlistat doesn't work directly on existing fat stores in your body. Instead, it blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your gut, preventing these calories from being stored. By reducing the calories absorbed from your meals, orlistat may help create the calorie deficit needed for your body to use existing fat stores for energy. This process works alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and regular physical activity.

Creating Calorie Deficit for Fat Loss
Orlistat's mechanism supports weight loss by reducing calorie absorption from dietary fat. When you eat less fat calories due to the medication blocking absorption, and follow a reduced-calorie diet with increased physical activity, your body may begin using stored fat for energy. This process takes time and consistency. Most patients see effects within 2-4 weeks when following their prescribed regimen and dietary guidelines.
Choose Your Orlistat Treatment Option
Generic orlistat 120mg offers identical clinical effects to branded Xenical at lower cost. Both require prescription following clinical assessment. For those preferring lower-strength options, Alli 60mg (4-week supply £28.99, £26.09 with EDM10) provides half the dose. All options work by the same mechanism but prescription-strength 120mg formulations block more dietary fat absorption, potentially supporting greater calorie reduction.
