I've taken a weeks worth of Xenical (not at once lol) and I've lost nothing! I'm also doing slimming world.

Hi, are you sticking to the rules? drinking a lot of water? are you exercising?

have you taken measurements? sometimes we loose inches rather than pounds...

what have you been eating?

xoxo

 

[raachel28]

I drink a pint before each meal. Been eating low fat things, grilled chicken and veg, jacket potato and beans, slimming world curries, low fat chilli con carne etc x

 

[bunny_hops]

Hi,are the things you have been eating within the rules?

 

[raachel28]

Hi, yes, all below 5% fat, thats why I don't understand whats going wrong lol

 

[bunny_hops]

no more than 5grams per 100grams?

i was a bit confused by this rule at the start. how many calories are you eating, roughly?

 

[raachel28]

Everything is low fat as per slimming world rules. No idea on calories at all. A typical day would be..

Breakfast... 28g fruit and fibre with semi skimmed milk
Lunch...pasta or rice salad
Dinner... Grilled chicken, couple of boiled potatoes, veg.
Snacks will be Activia yoghurts, fruit or carrot/cucumber sticks

Hi hun, could it be totm?

 

[raachel28]

Nop hun, not for another week and half x

At least you didn't put on tho? It could be your body is used to the meals you're having, you should try a week of brand new meals + lots more veg. Have you been exercising?? Sometimes we can lose inches but not weight when we work out.

are you getting enough fibre.... (are you blocked up at all??)
exercise... are you getting any of that??
if you are exercising. are your muscles hurting? as they will hold more water when they are repairing themselves...

when you say you drink a pint with every meal. do you drink anymore than that.. as that means you are only drinking roughly 1500mls so you need to drink at least another half-1 litre...
are you having sugar in drinks at all???

your food sounds fine, so maybe you are not getting enough...
all things to think about..

re totm, i put more on in the middle of my cycle.. the actual week of it doesnt affect me.. but the inbetween does, so maybe that could be it.?

yep,i agree we can loose inches and the scales dont move

xenical rules are different from slimming world rules,have you read the rules sticky in the heading of this forum?

i think you could up your water intake,i think its a min of 2 litres a day,and exercise goes hand in hand with dieting

 

[bunny_hops]

have a look on my fitness pal, it sets you a calorie goal based on your stats...

it helps you to eat for the weight you want to loose,if you dont eat enough it can be just as bad as over eating in terms of weight loss
