Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length & Best Foods Guide
Orlistat Pack Sizes & Pricing Options
Selecting the right supply length depends on your weight management goals and budget. Our 2-week supply (42 capsules at £15.20 with EDM10) is ideal for first-time users wanting to assess tolerance. The 4-week supply (84 capsules at £29.69) suits shorter treatment periods, whilst our popular 8-week option (168 capsules at £57.59) provides excellent value. For maximum savings, choose our 12-week supply of 252 capsules at £86.39 with code EDM10 - saving over £9 compared to buying shorter packs.
Best Foods When Taking Orlistat
The key to successful orlistat treatment is eating low-fat meals containing approximately 15g fat or less. Lean proteins like grilled chicken breast, white fish, turkey mince, and egg whites form excellent meal foundations. Complex carbohydrates including brown rice, quinoa, sweet potatoes, and wholemeal pasta provide sustained energy without fat. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and salads can be eaten freely as they contain virtually no fat.
Foods to Limit During Orlistat Treatment
High-fat foods significantly increase gastrointestinal side effects when taking orlistat. Limit fried foods, fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, nuts, seeds, oils, butter, and processed foods high in hidden fats. When you do eat these foods, keep portions very small and spread across meals. Remember, orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption - the more fat you eat, the more pronounced the side effects become.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat - Same Foods, Different Prices
Whether you choose branded Xenical or generic orlistat 120mg, the dietary guidance remains identical as both contain the same active ingredient. However, generic orlistat offers substantial savings - a 12-week supply costs £86.39 compared to £116.09 for Xenical. Both require the same low-fat approach to minimise side effects and maximise weight management benefits alongside a reduced-calorie diet.
Meal Planning for Different Supply Lengths
Our 2-week supply allows you to trial orlistat with careful meal planning, focusing on lean proteins, vegetables, and minimal added fats. The 4-week option gives time to establish sustainable eating patterns, whilst 8-12 week supplies support longer-term weight management goals. Regardless of pack size chosen, maintaining consistent low-fat meals throughout your treatment period optimises results and reduces unwanted gastrointestinal effects.
