It's such a big story that I might write a book. Most of the time I feel that any chemical that interferes with the way the body works will have some effect on something. There's over 500 chemical processes going on in the body so it's got to interfere with something. My "weight by date" software goes back to October 2008 and I can see what I was eating and I know what drugs I was taking. I can see the rapid weight gain when prescribed Rosiglitazone up to 27 stone and the rapid drop when taken off Rosiglitazone because it was affecting my liver function (only back to normal in last year). The rapid drop stopped abruptly when I was prescribed Gliclazide and in fact I gained some 10 kgs. My diet was fairly ordinary and didn't change, never touched processed foods of any sort except for tinned tomatoes and WW tinned beans.Low carb kick started weight loss again, but it stopped at the weight I was for many years before the Rosiglitazone, it's almost as if you're programmed to weight a certain weight. Try not to laugh too much, have you ever been to see a kinesiologist? Not so popular in Europe but you can study the subject at Canadian Universities. In my efforts to discover why I can't lose when eating much less than my RMR, my GP said I didn't eat enough and I should try eating more. Big mistake, guess what, when you eat more, you gain weight, even though it was still much less than my RMR of 2300. I've even had that figure verified,, calculated by the Harris Benedict formula and verified by the University of Westminster. I even went into their BodPod to analyse my fat/muscle ration and even that tied up with the scales I've been using at my Nutritional Therapist.Great fun this dieting lark, just not straight forward. Not having to take Gliclazide or Januvia or for that matter a statin are all things that have an effect on my weight loss or lack of it. Just the Metformin and BP meds to go,</blockquote>
