Im trying so hard to read that I can eat weight watchers or any frozen dinners on this program.  I work live in the fast lane.Dont have time to cook. Can anyone help

I dont see why you coudlnt.....I've read severl other posts from people who are doing both ww and alli.....i would think it would be fine since ww meals are prepackagted to be low fat and healthy for you

Also....when would you start to see these treatment effects...like how long after you had the meal.

 also has anyone had any problem with treatment effects in, shall we say, intimite moments....thats a bit of a concern of mine

Sounds like we are on the same program pitviper. I hope it works with the healthy choice and lean c. meals.

pitviper,

There is no problem eating frozen or pre-packaged meals on the program.  They can be used as effective tools and take out the stress in thinking about what to eat.  The pre-packed meals will list the fat grams and the calories which take out the quess work and they are portion controlled as well.

Hope this helps.

soccerella,

Treatment effects if they do occur depend on how fast you normally digest food.  They can occur a couple of hours after if you have a quick GI motility or up to 48 hours after a high fat meal.  Most people have seen the effects after 24hours.  As for the intimate moments, I haven't heard anything but do know that it is a concern.  Try checking out "personal experiences".

Hope this helps.

I have stepped up my water intake since about 1 month ago, or longer. I have always had a healthy digestive system/evacuation...once or twice daily. During the time of change in diet prior to starting Alli, nothing there changed. Since starting Alli on Dec 30th,  I go only once a day. I do notice more of an urgency to pee though, and, like I said, since I stepped up my water more than a month ago, that can't be the cause. No accidents, just the discomfort of urgency to pee!

Is that normal? 

PS.

I cut beef completely out of my diet. Never really liked pork. Eating salads, boneless/skinless chicken breast, shrimp, fish. Actually liking it! Even notice that I'm savoring the flavor! I think my past bad eating dulled my sense of taste or something! Also, I'm not one for sweets. Mostly cheese, chips and breads did me in! I was always thin, 5'9" 125lbs...after 3 kids I returned to a size 6 with a little discipline.

Me, again!

Wanted to make sure it is clear that I do consume some fat in each meal. I deliberately throw in avocado, cottage cheese, etc, so that I have the fat essential for bodily functions. If I have salmon, everything else needs to be nonfat!

 I am doing the same thing and so far so good however this is my second day on Alli but I am in grad school and teach college full time as well.  For me WW makes more sense than cooking for myself at this time.
