A method of inhibiting the absorption of nutritional elements, principally food, from the gastrointesinal tract is disclosed which comprises ingesting perfluorodecalin in an amount sufficient to form a nutritional element-impermeable film thereof on at least a substantial part of the inner wall of the upper intestine and maintaining the film for a time long enough to inhibit the absorption from the gastrointestinal tract of a significant proportion of the ingested nutritional elements. An emulsion dosage form is preferred for carrying out this method, which emulsion contains perfluorodecalin, water, and a non-toxic emulsifier, preferably Pluronic F-68, and optionally flavoring and/or coloring agents.
