Why Understanding Orlistat's Mechanism Matters for Your Purchase
How Orlistat Blocks Fat Absorption - The Science
Orlistat works by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. These enzymes normally break down dietary fat so your body can absorb it. When orlistat blocks approximately one third of these enzymes, that proportion of fat passes through your body unabsorbed. This mechanism explains why eggs are perfectly suitable - orlistat targets fat digestion, not protein digestion. Our orlistat 120mg costs just £29.69 for a 4-week supply with code EDM10.
Can You Eat Eggs on Orlistat? The Clear Answer
Yes, you can eat eggs whilst taking orlistat. Eggs contain high-quality protein and moderate fat content. Since orlistat only blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, it won't prevent the beneficial nutrients in eggs from being absorbed. The key is keeping your total meal fat content reasonable - around 15g per meal helps minimise side effects whilst maintaining orlistat's effectiveness.
Orlistat vs Xenical vs Alli - Which Works Best?
All three products work through the same mechanism, but at different strengths. Orlistat 120mg and Xenical 120mg contain identical active ingredients - the difference is cost. Generic orlistat saves approximately £9 monthly compared to branded Xenical. Alli 60mg works similarly but blocks a smaller proportion of fat. Compare our prices: orlistat 12-week supply £86.39, Xenical £116.09, or Alli £116.99 (all with EDM10 discount).
Why the Mechanism Proves Orlistat Works
Understanding how orlistat works demonstrates why it's clinically effective for weight management. By blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, orlistat reduces calorie intake from fat sources. This creates a calorie deficit when combined with a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet. The mechanism is measurable, predictable, and targeted - affecting only fat digestion whilst leaving protein, carbohydrate, and other nutrient absorption intact.
