[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 504368, member: 13582"] Hi @[USER=85197]zand[/USER], I'd ask your GP to go on Metformin; I think it's a pretty benign drug and if you have issues with it there are slow release versions. If you do take it one of the things it will do is help with weight loss as it increases your sensitivity to insulin in a similar way to exercise. So worth a go. I like the idea of insulin and leptin as causes of obesity but was really convinced when my second child was born; I stopped exercising, slept a lot less, ate the same things as I had before but had recently started Metformin and guess what? I lost 10kgs over 6 months... Stick to the low carb diet, try to get on Metformin and try to exercise as much as you can; not to burn off calories but to sensitise yourself to insulin. Don't give up! Being overweight is not your fault; you are not a sinner! But there are ways to try and deal with your metabolism. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
