Re: My personal experience with Metformin (Glucophage): A great cutting/anticatabolic
Many MD's and people in the medical field take glucophage for weight loss.
The average weight loss is a few pounds a year in those people that still eat like shit. They are usually the people that claim they can't lose weight on any diet.
But it will regulate your insulin response and just about everyone - with normal blood sugar levels - will notice pretty good results. More is not necessarily better, just like with anything.
LoneTree said:I am not sure about rest of the stuff, but don't increase sugar intake. That would increase calories intake and increases insulin release. Diabetics who take glucophage are advised NOT to increase their sugar intake. You would be going in circles.
The mechanism of weight loss is not clear with glucophage. Average weight loss is only a few pounds in a year. It is not recommended as a 'weight-loss' medicine.
It is less likely to cause hypoglycemia in diabetics. I don't know what will happen in non-diabetics.
There is always a danger of 'over-simplifying' things. There are many examples in the past that the scientists did that and ended up causing more harm than good.
