Orlistat should be used with a diet plan that has a maximum of what percentage of calories from fat?

  1. 20%

  2. 25%

  3. 30%

  4. 35%

The correct answer is: 30%

Orlistat is a medication used for weight management by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fats. It is essential to limit fat intake while taking Orlistat to minimize potential side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances. A diet plan with a maximum of 30% of calories from fat is recommended when using Orlistat to achieve the best outcomes in terms of weight loss and tolerability. This percentage allows for sufficient fat intake for normal body functions while still reducing the overall amount of fat absorbed by the body. Options A, B, and D have lower percentages of fat intake, which may be too restrictive or insufficient when taking Orlistat.
