Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length & Dietary Plan
Understanding What to Eat When Taking Orlistat or Xenical
When taking orlistat 120mg (including branded Xenical) or Alli 60mg, your diet directly impacts both effectiveness and side effects. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, making it essential to maintain a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet throughout treatment. EverydayMeds offers comprehensive supply options from 2-week starter packs to cost-effective 12-week supplies, each including detailed dietary guidance.
Recommended Diet Guidelines for All Supply Lengths
Regardless of whether you choose our 2-week supply (42 capsules at £15.20 with EDM10) or 12-week supply (252 capsules at £86.39 with EDM10), the dietary principles remain consistent. Limit fat intake to approximately 30% of daily calories, spreading this evenly across three main meals. Each meal should contain no more than 15g fat to minimise gastrointestinal side effects whilst maximising weight management benefits.
Pack Size Options: Finding Your Ideal Treatment Length
Our orlistat 120mg generic offers exceptional value across all supply lengths: 2-week supply £16.89 (£15.20 EDM10), 4-week supply £32.99 (£29.69 EDM10), 8-week supply £63.99 (£57.59 EDM10), and 12-week supply £95.99 (£86.39 EDM10). Branded Xenical 120mg provides the same clinical effect with 2-week supply £21.50 (£19.35 EDM10), 4-week supply £42.99 (£38.69 EDM10), 8-week supply £86.99 (£78.29 EDM10), and 12-week supply £128.99 (£116.09 EDM10). Many patients find 8-12 week supplies provide better value and treatment continuity.
Foods to Emphasise During Orlistat Treatment
Focus on lean proteins such as skinless chicken, turkey, white fish, and plant-based proteins like lentils and beans. Include plenty of vegetables, salads, and fruits which are naturally low in fat but high in essential nutrients. Wholegrains like brown rice, quinoa, and wholemeal bread provide sustained energy whilst supporting your weight management goals. These foods work optimally with orlistat's mechanism across all supply lengths.
Foods to Limit or Avoid
High-fat foods significantly increase the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects when taking any strength of orlistat. Limit fried foods, fatty meats, full-fat dairy products, nuts, seeds, oils, and processed snacks. When you do include fats, choose healthier options like small amounts of olive oil or avocado, keeping portions minimal. This approach ensures comfortable treatment whether using a 2-week trial pack or committed 12-week supply.
Alli 60mg: Lower Strength Option
For those preferring a gentler approach, Alli 60mg offers half the strength of prescription orlistat. Available in 4-week supply (£28.99, £26.09 EDM10), 8-week supply (£54.99, £49.49 EDM10), and 12-week supply (£129.99, £116.99 EDM10), Alli requires the same dietary approach but typically produces milder side effects. The lower dose still requires careful fat limitation for optimal effectiveness.
Why Choose Longer Supply Options?
Weight management with orlistat typically requires sustained treatment for optimal results. Our 8-week and 12-week supplies offer better value per capsule whilst ensuring treatment continuity. The 12-week orlistat supply saves over £20 compared to buying multiple shorter packs, whilst providing sufficient time to establish healthy eating patterns that complement orlistat's fat-blocking mechanism.
