I am curently taking Alli.  Actually at the end of my third week and nearing my goal weight.  Thus, I am running out of menu ideas and would like to develop a meal plan that excludes products made with wheat.  Can you help?

I assume you have a problem with gluten, so I suggest that the best thing for you to do is to plug in gluten-free items for the wheat items on your current menus.  For instance you could have Rice Chex cereal, or rice, or try other grains like spelt and purchase spelt breads and crackers in the health food stores or Whole Foods, etc.

I hope this helps.  Please let me know if you need anything else.
