How does Xenical work?

Xenical blocks 30% of the fat in your diet and prevents it from being digested by your body. By blocking 1 third of the fat consumed, Xenical reduces the amount of calories absorbed by your body, without you even having to cut down on the amount of food that you eat. By targeting fat loss, Xenical also promotes weight loss, prevents subsequent weight regain, and lowers the multitude of health risks that are associated with obesity.
