[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2620365, member: 506169"] [USER=375688]@LPH39[/USER] No two people lose weight at exactly the same rate even when eating the same diet because we all unique in our genes, gut biome an hormone status. So it would actually be surprising if you has both lost the same. As said above, Metformin mostly help with weight loss (in those who can tolerate it), it certainly doesn't make people gain weight. Are you limiting calories as well as carbohydrates? I ask because this [B]can[/B] be counter productive and this is the reason why most conventional weight loss diets fail so much. This is not a problem with completely fasting, though you appear to be doing Time Restricted Eating rather than actual fasting with no food (just water/black tea) in a whole 24hrs or more. The problem with calorie restriction over a long period is that the body [B]can [/B]feel that times are tough, goes into 'starvation mode' and conserves calories (by allowing less for all activities - even for resting activities and thinking. This reduction in Resting Metabolic Rate means that on a calorie restricted diet the body can consume less calories, meaning that the same calories eaten leaves a surplus which gets deposited as body fat - completely undermining the intent!
