Recommended Daily Fat Intake on Orlistat
When taking prescription orlistat 120mg or Xenical 120mg, your daily fat intake should not exceed approximately 30% of total calories, distributed evenly across three main meals. This typically means around 15g of fat per meal. Orlistat works by blocking approximately one third of dietary fat absorption in your digestive system. Exceeding recommended fat levels significantly increases the likelihood of gastrointestinal side effects including oily stools and urgent bowel movements.
Why Fat Control Matters with Orlistat
Orlistat inhibits lipase enzymes that break down dietary fat. When you consume high-fat meals, more undigested fat passes through your system, causing uncomfortable side effects. Following a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet maximises orlistat's weight management benefits whilst minimising digestive issues. Generic orlistat 120mg from EverydayMeds costs £32.99 for 4 weeks (£29.69 with EDM10), while branded Xenical costs £42.99 for the same period.
Foods to Choose and Avoid
Focus on lean proteins, vegetables, fruits, and wholegrain carbohydrates. Limit fried foods, butter, cream, fatty meats, and processed foods high in hidden fats. Always check food labels - fat content should be clearly marked per serving. Spreading your fat allowance across three meals helps orlistat work effectively alongside your weight management programme.
