Hi there, make sure you are eating enough healthy fat with each meal. I aim for between 10-20 grams of fat per meal. for example, grab a small handful of almonds to eat after your cereal in the morning, or cut up some avacado on your salad, etc. the xenical does work...I took it 2 years ago to lose 30 lbs, and now I am taking it again, and have lost 12 lbs in the last month. good luck!
