One of the things I like most about Chitosan is how it fits into the lifestyle of a person who thinks, "Hey, I really ought to watch what I eat. If I can significantly reduced my absorption of fat calories, then I'll be able to handle my weight better." On the other hand, Chitosan won't be much help for the person who thinks, "I've finally got something that will allow me to have a steak everyday!" If that's the approach consumers take, they won't see benefits from taking Chitosan.
Chitosan should be used reasonably. When you intend to lose weight, you'll need to think in terms of combining Chitosan with a weight loss program and a proper lifestyle.
If used correctly, Chitosan offers significant potential for long-term benefits, although it should be considered secondary to healthy eating and exercise habits. This includes carefully considering health risks and issues—from excess weight, smoking, fat consumption, and caloric intake, to control of blood pressure, adult-onset diabetes, and cholesterol levels. One of the problems with more radical diets is that you are expected to reduce total fat consumption to about 10 percent of your total calories. That's a commendable goal, but I'm personally not able to do it. When you start getting below 20 percent fat, food doesn't taste right anymore. People just prefer the feeling and texture of foods containing fat to fatless foods. [Using Chitosan on the other hand you don't have to change everything in your pantry;
this is because Chitosan absorbs the fat from the foods that you already have.]
