I need to lose weight, does Xenical works?
- Thread starter JFK
- Start date
In the mid 80's I lost about 40lbs from saying bye-bye fast to food and started riding my bike and walking.
JFK you could also become adicted to Heroin, it will kill your appetite and you'll go from your fat assed 240lbs down to 150 in no time.

As I recall from the commercials, some of the side effects of xenical is oily anal discharge and sudden, explosive bowel movements. I think I would rather be over weight than not be able to pass gas without fear of it being a shart.
Shari has some good advice above. If the reason you think exercise and lower calories is not working well is because it's not working fast, be grateful for that. Rapid weight lose leads to sagging skin, and you are more likely to yoyo back up, bigger than you were before.
If you are into reading, check out 'The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity' by Daniel Reid, lots of good stuff there.
Good luck JFK

I would be a wee bit suspect of any diet product that has Anna Nicole Smith as a spokesperson. Both her weight and mental health have a proven track record of being unstable.
Being against man made drugs, I turned down my doctors advice to try Xenical.
I like my drugs natural. In the last year I've trimmed down from a 60 inch waist to a 48 inch waist by simply walking when I smoke up. Started just going around the block, and now I have to smoke up twice, once for the first two hours of my walk, and once just before I get home so I can sleep. Recently cut my sugar intake and trying to balance diet by eating more cereal, vegetables, and drinking lots of water. Now losing wieght twice as fast.

what are you doing to lose weight and how long have you been doing it?JFK said:
Some tips for weight loss:
1. eat breakfast ... the noun says it all ... you need to break the 8-10 hour fast your body has just been through. People who eat breakfast are healthier, live longer and lost weight!
2. exercise right: most people do aerobics -- good for the heart but not so great for weight loss -- reason? it only burns calories while you do it. stop exercising and stop burning calories.
you need to exercise to gain muscle mass: each total pound of muscle you gain will burn calories 24/7!!! which will help you lose weight and keep it off!
3. FAT!!! supplement with omega's ... particularly the omega 3's. it might seem contrary but the oils are necessary for good health and your body will not store fat as much if you have essential fats coming in with your diet.
4. Protein: too much is no good ... too little is no good ... but more important are protein-sparers -- wtf? right, these are amino acids that your body needs to be healthy and will burn muscle to get protein to get amino acids to make them.
L-glutamine ... used by your body for your immune system, brain function and digestive system ... will use up to 20 grams a day ... take as a supplement and spare your muscles (yes, this is why when you get sick your muscles get weak ... the body burns them to produce antibodies to make you healthy ... the compound that the body extracts from your muscle is L-glutamine.
5. Finally ... hydrate! drink water before anything gets into your mouth ... cup of coffee? drink 8 oz of water first ... muffin? same thing ...
Put down the fork!
Interesting posts here. Don't give up on a reasonable diet and exercise. It might take a while but the other poster is right, it leads to more sustainable weight loss. Aerobic exercise does work (it worked for me) but try lifting weights too, that increases muscle mass and helps burn calories faster.
Lots and lots of water helps. But you have to develop eating habits that you can live with and sustain for the rest of your life. Losing weight is great but keeping it off is a lifetime commitment.
Again, proper eating and exercise is the simple (yet profound) key to weight loss. Fewer calories than you use will lead to weight loss, but be reasonable. And by the way, a lot of that excess skin will shrink. I had a lot of it but its almost all gone now, after a few years.
Good luck! Your efforts will be rewarded!

you will shit yourself silly
A co-worker shit/shat? his pants at a corporate BBQ last summer when he tried Xenical to lose his beer gut.
Work out, eat less. Tried and proven method!

xenical does work. However, it does not work alone. It has to be combined with diet and exercise. Just by taking xenical will not be effective.
Not everyone is qualified for xenical. You have to be over a certain weight for a specific height to qualify.
When a person is on xenical, he/she may need to replenish certain vitamins and minerals that maybe lost through the "oily discharge" process.
Overall, it is not a miracle drug

Get a divorce. The pounds will just melt off. Plus, as an added benefit, you can't afford to eat.
Re: It's a fact
I thought Anal Leakage came from the fat substitue Allustra (Illustra?) the chip makers were using to make low-fat chips and such. Definitely not the most pleasant side-effect. Yikes!RedOwl said:
if u work our regularly following the eat less work out more u dont get anywhere beleive me i've tried that. instead of losing weight i put on weight because my body was breaking down muscle to feed my muscle growth as i wasnt eating enough and getting enough protein in my diet.
they key is. 6 meals a day. plenty of protein, low fats, low carbs to lose weight. do a calorie count to find out how much u need to eat to maintain ur current wieght. then minus 1000 calories a day and eat the proper food and u lose 2lbs a week.
when u hit a plateau u have to change. its never going on a diet. its changing ur lifestyle. it works. for me i suggest getting the book from Mens Health called the Testosterone Advantage plan. its a real lifestyle change designed for men. there are plans for losing wieght, gaining weight and maintaining wieght. has meal plans and work out plans.
Suppliments i've used
Hydroxycut. its mostly just advertising
GNC Extreme Ripped. works okay but make sure u eat something when u take it or shortly after ur work out because the cayanne will hurt.
Therma Cuts. THIS is a real good one. they dont have it anymore they have a newer formula. this worked real fast. and u get a constant burn all day. lost 15lbs in 1 week off that stuff mind u i also had a good meal plan. plateau is reached within 2 weeks.
REV XP. this works well and the 6-pack proprietary blend isnt a just a hook to get u to buy it. it works. caution u might feel cramps when u first start to take it. sadly as good as a product it is and the value of one bottle. ur body gets used to it really fast. i recommend only taking it for 2 weeks on and off. and dont increase the dosage till ur on ur 2nd cycle.
I'm told Zantrex3 is the best one right now. just buy some ephedra on the side to suppliment it. DO NOT TAKE Ephedra if u dont know how to and if u dont go to the gym and work out often and if u have heart problems.
Zantrex3 side effects is that it contains some stimulants also used in sexual enhancement drugs so dont be surprised if u feel in the mood more often that usual.
i hope that helps.
