Orlistat is your friend.
Orlistat (marketed as a
prescription under the trade name
Xenical by
Roche in most countries, or
over-the-counter as
Alli[2] by
GlaxoSmithKline in the
United Kingdom and the
United States), also known as
tetrahydrolipstatin, is a drug designed to treat
obesity.
[3] Its primary function is preventing the absorption of fats from the human diet, thereby reducing
caloric intake. It is intended for use in conjunction with a physician-supervised
reduced-calorie diet. Orlistat is the
saturated derivative of
lipstatin, a potent
natural inhibitor of
pancreatic lipases isolated from the
bacterium Streptomyces toxytricini.
[4] However, due to simplicity and stability, orlistat rather than lipstatin was developed into an anti-obesity drug.
