No problem: L-carnitine or acetyl l-carnitine may help with fat metabolism. Orlistat (xenical) can block absorption of up to 30% of you ingested fat. Be careful regarding the side effects if you consume too much fat. I haven't found that many people tolerate it very well and don't lose that much weight to make it worth it.
