What is Xenical diet pill ?
Xenical is a prescription only diet and weight loss pill, designed for dieters with serious obesity problems whose weight loss progress can be monitored by their doctor.

Reduces Fat Absorption
Xenical contains orlistat, a new type of diet drug. Unlike other diet and weight loss pills, Xenical, a lipase-inhibitor, works in the intestinal tract and causes excess fat to be excreted instead of digested. The makers of Xenical claim that it reduces the amount of fat that can be absorbed into the bloodstream by up to thirty percent. This corresponds to about 600 calories a day, which should lead to a weight loss of about 1 pound a week.

However, because this excess fat goes straight through the body, dieters are advised to eat a low-fat diet otherwise they can get diarrhea.

Drawbacks of Diet Pills
Like many diet and weight loss pills, Xenical is designed for seriously obese people under medical supervision. In such cases, Xenical may be an effective short-term treatment. However no diet or weight loss pill can help a dieter to modify their eating habits or teach them good exercise habits - two things that are essential for long-term weight management.

Weight Loss Diet or Weight Loss Pill?
A balanced diet plan and exercise program is always your best option. If you are seriously obese and want to learn more about diet pills like Xenical, ask your doctor. But ask about all the side-effects before you start.

How effective is XENICAL diet pill?
In clinical studies, people treated with XENICAL and a reduced-calorie diet with no more than 30% of calories from fat achieved significantly greater weight loss than people who were treated with diet alone.

Weight loss with XENICAL and a healthy diet also improves a number of weight-related health risks. Studies show that weight loss with XENICAL can:

• Decrease total and LDL cholesterol (level of low-density lipoprotein-also known as bad cholesterol)
• Improve ratio of bad to good cholesterol (LDL/HDL cholesterol)
• Reduce blood pressure
• Reduce levels of insulin (hormone that allows glucose or sugar to enter the body’s cells), high levels of which are associated with coronary heart disease
• Reduce the risk or delay the progression to type 2 diabetes in patients

What is the difference between XENICAL diet pill and other weight-loss medications?
Unlike other commonly prescribed weight-loss medications, XENICAL is not an appetite suppressant and does not have a direct effect on the brain. Instead, it works in your digestive system to block about one-third of the fat in the food you eat from being digested.
