Choose Your Orlistat Supply Length & Dietary Plan
Orlistat Pack Sizes: Finding Your Ideal Supply Length
When starting orlistat treatment, choosing the right supply length helps you commit to your weight management programme whilst managing costs effectively. Our 2-week starter packs (42 capsules) at £15.20 with EDM10 let you trial the medication, whilst 12-week supplies (252 capsules) at £86.39 offer the best value for sustained treatment. Each pack includes detailed dietary guidance explaining what foods to avoid or limit whilst taking orlistat.
Foods to Avoid with All Orlistat Supply Lengths
Regardless of whether you choose our 2-week or 12-week supply, certain high-fat foods should be avoided to prevent gastrointestinal side effects. Orlistat blocks approximately one third of dietary fat absorption, so meals containing more than 15g fat can cause oily stools, urgent bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Avoid fried foods, fatty meats, full-fat dairy, pastries, nuts in large quantities, and takeaway meals high in fat.
Xenical vs Generic Orlistat: Same Dietary Rules Apply
Whether you select Xenical 120mg (branded, from £19.35 with EDM10) or generic orlistat 120mg (from £15.20 with EDM10), the dietary guidelines remain identical. Both contain the same active ingredient at the same dose, working by inhibiting lipase enzymes in your digestive system. Our 4-week Xenical supply costs £38.69 with discount, compared to £29.69 for generic orlistat - a £9 monthly saving without compromising effectiveness.
Alli 60mg: Lower Dose, Gentler Dietary Requirements
Our Alli 60mg supplies (4-week from £26.09, 8-week from £49.49, 12-week from £116.99 with EDM10) contain half the orlistat dose of prescription-strength versions. This lower dose typically produces milder side effects, making dietary transitions easier. However, you should still avoid very high-fat meals and aim for no more than 15g fat per meal for optimal results and comfort.
Smart Meal Planning Across All Supply Lengths
Successful orlistat treatment depends on consistent dietary management throughout your chosen supply period. Focus on lean proteins like grilled chicken, fish, and turkey. Choose low-fat cooking methods such as grilling, steaming, or baking. Include plenty of vegetables, fruits, and wholegrains. Take a multivitamin supplement at bedtime (2 hours after your last orlistat dose) to replace fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K that may have reduced absorption.
Long-term Success: Why 8-12 Week Supplies Work Best
Clinical studies suggest orlistat works most effectively over sustained periods. Our 8-week supplies (orlistat £57.59, Xenical £78.29 with EDM10) and 12-week supplies (orlistat £86.39, Xenical £116.09 with EDM10) support this approach whilst offering significant savings per capsule. Longer treatment periods allow your digestive system to adapt and help establish lasting dietary habits that continue benefiting your weight management beyond treatment.
