I lost 50kgs and kept it off. You have to eat a low fat diet and if you don’t, you will know that you didn’t because of an oily anal discharge and oily poop!
I learnt A LOT!
It’s worth a chat with your GP about it first. There are some people who should not use it for medical reasons.
I'd be concerned about any drug based weightloss plan that eliminates fats. Fat is what the body prefers to burn off before carbs and sugars but often can't as it will go for the sugar burn instead of a genuine fat burn. There's a lot of science behind this. ( remember carbs are also sugars). People on low fat diets eat more foods with sugars in them causing constant sugar spikes so hence dangerous for some people. Sugar based diets also make you hungrier. Low fat is not necessary.
I tried it when I was younger, I didn’t lose much weight and I was really trying, eating well, exercising. But I think everyone is different and what works for one, doesn’t for another. As I’ve gotten older I live by a balanced diet and exercise and lost weight that way. Best of luck :)
