Does taking Orlistat capsules lead to weight rebound?
There may be a certain rebound effect after taking Orlistat capsules. Orlistat capsules are intestinal lipase inhibitors. Although they do not decompose cholesterol fat in food and directly excrete it through feces, they can achieve good weight loss effect. However, if diet and lifestyle are not taken into account, the body's metabolic ability may become abnormal, leading to weight rebound. Therefore, to achieve healthy weight loss, it is still necessary to adhere to exercise and reasonable diet.

Taking Orlistat capsules can lead to rebound. Orlistat, also known as an intestinal lipase inhibitor, inhibits lipase in the intestine, making it difficult for cholesterol fat in food to be decomposed and expelled through feces, achieving a certain weight loss effect of about 3% of body weight. Using Orlistat for weight loss is not the only method. It should be used on the basis of diet and lifestyle to achieve better weight loss effect. Combining diet and exercise can scientifically lose weight, not only using Orlistat, but also all weight loss methods may have rebound situations. This is mainly due to the fact that there is a set point in energy metabolism in the body. When the body weight drops to a certain extent, the body will produce various reactions to gradually restore the weight, resulting in weight rebound. To avoid rebound after taking Orlistat, the most important thing is to change lifestyle, adhere to dietary control, reduce oil, salt, and sugar, eat regular meals, try not to eat snacks, and avoid high-sugar, high-fat foods. Adhering to moderate-intensity exercise, combining aerobic exercise and endurance exercise, as well as diet and exercise, can effectively prevent rebound.
