Yes you can, though we suggest that you moderate you intake as alcohol also contains calories. Drinking too much could contribute to unwanted weight gain.

Can I not break the capsule and mix with water and then drink the Obethin liquid?
No. We strongly advise against this as Obethin is effective because the gel matrix forms when you have swallowed the capsules whole with a full glass of water and the capsules dissolve in your stomach – as in the diagrams in the 'How it works' section. If the capsule was to start dissolving in contact with moisture in your throat or oesophagus this could lead to possible suffocation – thus the direction to swallow the capsules whole.

Why do I have to have a break of 5 days after taking Obethin for 30 days?
We recommend having a 5 day break after 30 days to enable your intestine to completely clear itself naturally of any residual viscous gel. You may then resume taking Obethin repeating this 30 days on 5 days off regime as long as necessary. Hopefully during these 5 days ‘off’ your eating habits will have been re-educated and you will continue to eat smaller portions sizes.

Why do I have to take Obethin 30 minutes before eating?
For optimum effectiveness Obethin needs to have completely dissolved in your stomach and formed the stable gel matrix which then mixes with the food which you eat and slows the digestion process, and also sending that message to your brain that you feel full. Our research has indicated that taking Obethin 30 minutes before your meal is the optimum time to allow for the gel matrix to form.

General advice and guidance FAQ's:

Can you give me any tips on setting my weight loss goals?
There are 2 things you need to decide.

How much do I want to lose overall?

How much should I lose every week?

How much to lose? The BMI charts provide the medical and scientific figures on ideal weight. For the less scientific amongst us – I decide what dress size I want to be and allow 10 lbs per dress size. So, if I want to lose 3 dress sizes – I would look at losing 30 lbs. I am 5ft 9 inches, so 10 lbs will be more than one dress size if you are shorter. If in any doubt, talk to your GP.

Once you know how much you want to lose and have started your programme – be sensible! It is proven that if you lose weight steadily over a period of time, it is better for you, than losing a large amount in a short time.

If you can lose 1- 2 lbs a week – that is a sensible amount to lose – after all that’s 4 - 8 lbs in a month. That’s 3 to 7 stones in one year! Loads! Too many people lose huge amounts in a short space of time and then put the weight back on faster than when they lost it. Don’t be one of them.
