Orlistat pills are really amazing. I have been using these pills for the last couple of years to get in shape. I have lost almost 20 lbs. I have changed my eating habits, and I was doing exercise regularly. Apart from taking pills, you need to work hard and follow a proper diet to see effective results.

I have started taking Orlistat for 2 weeks and I have no side effects till now. I am very careful about what I eat. I have almost lost 8 lbs in 2 weeks and have much more to lose. Be careful when you take the weight loss pill as this medicine helps the body to lose fat through elimination so you may need to go to poop frequently but there is no need to worry this medicine is good you can sure buy it after getting it recommended by your medical practitioner.
