If possible, take leave and secede from all responsibility during one week. Food change, everyday activity and beverage, will bring side effects for a while. You possible experience of headache, confused and stomachache when poison will be released from body system

What Xenical side effects should I expect?

Normally, Xenical side effects disappear if you continue treatment and keep to your recommended diet. Do not be alarmed by this list of Xenical side effects. You may not experience any of these Xenical side effects or experience just one or two. Most patients experienced only one episode of Xenical side effects. Consult with your doctor on any Xenical side effects that are of concern to you.
  • Abdominal discomfort or pain
  • Anxiety
  • Arthritis
  • Back pain
  • Diarrhoea, generally mild and goes away

  • Fatty or oily stools - 20% of patients

Less common side effects of xenical may include dry skin, ear/nose/throat problems, and joint disorders. Side effects of Xenical that usually occur after the first year of treatment include depression, leg pain, swollen feet, and tendonitis.
Hardly 'No side effects' I would suggest.

Why not try Atkins as written before looking for magic pills - after all if skinny came in a bottle we would hardly need support groups like ADBB nor feel the need to change our way of eating.
