If you want my opinion of Chitosan, replace the C with an S.
Even if it does all it claims to do, it seems much easier, cheaper and all
around more pleasant to just eat that much less fat. And I suppose that's
why you like to go to malls and buy gaudy jewelry.

Using that method, to lose 1 pound of bodyfat per week with Chitosan,
the Chitosan would have to be responsible for blocking the absorbtion
of 3500 calories of consumed fat. There are 9 calories per gram of
fat. Assuming the 1-6 ratio of chitosan to fat absorbtion you
mention, swallowing 1 gram of chitosan would allow the absorption of 6
grams of fat. 6 grams of fat=54 calories. Doing the math leads to it
requires 64 grams of chitosan to lose 1 pound of bodyfat. 64 grams
times 10 = 640 grams, or roughly .29 pounds of chitosan to absorb 10
pounds of bodyfat.

Conservatively chitosan absorbs about 6 times its weight in fat. In order
to lose 8-10 lbs per month, you would have to consume about 1.5 lbs of
chitosan. You can figure out how many capsules that would be and how
much that would cost, probably a lot more than the ads say it would.
