Product Features
Xenical is a product that is being promoted as a weight loss aid that is only intended for morbidly obese people. It is not intended to be used for that little 5 pounds you may need to lose so that you can fit back into your skinny jeans. This product is described as not being intended for long term use. It is designed only to be used long enough to get your body back down to a healthy weight and then the prescription will be stopped.
The medication keeps the fat from being absorbed by the body so it keeps you from gaining weight by keeping you from absorbing excess fat that comes from foods. After it prevents the body from absorbing the fat from the foods, then this process may trick the body into believing that no fat has been consumed to begin with. The body may then believe no fat has been consumed and feed off of the fat stored in the body.
Advantages
- This product may be an effective weight loss drug.
- Prevents the body from absorbing fats.
- Encourages eating healthier by reducing your fat and calorie intake.
- There also appears to be a generic form available, possible helping with the cost.
Disadvantages
- Available by prescription only.
- Can be expensive if the generic version cannot be located.
- May need to be used in conjunction with a multi-vitamin supplement.
- May cause side effects in some people.
- There appears to be no free samples or trials available for this product at the time of this review.
Conclusion
Xenical is not available for all people who wish to lose weight. The potential for side effects or treatment effects could lead to anal leakage or gastrointestinal distress. The amount of fat consumed needs to be reduced significantly in order to take this product. There are no appetite suppressants or fat burners in the product. It is difficult to support a product that requires a prescription and such stringent eating plans.
