Default Re: Has anyone tried Atkins and Alli (Orlistat) together?

I have taken Alli just doing a regular fat diet and had HORRIBLE what they call, IIRC, "treatment effects" . I believe that Alli was made specifically for a lower fat diet. Even if you are eating less fat or even a "normal" amount of fat you will likely experience them. I think they say under 25% in their guide

There is another low fat low carb high protein program that I have done where I have lost weight but there was the white knuckling the will power before I went into ketosis. I was still always obsessed with food. Atkins has killed that.

Anyway, when I looked at your initial menu it looked like you were eating a LOT of carbs. Am I wrong? It just looked that way to me. Have you tried cutting portions and eating more often?

I would work on the keeping the percentages for each meal/snack on target and just making them smaller.
