[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1916214, member: 410240"] I see no downsides to you trying going back to a higher dose of Metformin. Metformin works by reducing how much glucose the liver makes from fat and protein, this can then result in a lower insulin level and your body then being able to access more of your fat stores. As to your liver dumping when you fast, I am not convinced that an increase in BG when fasting does any long-term harm, maybe try combining a 24hr fast with going out for a day's walking. We all say that exercise is not useful for weight loss, this is wrong, the truth is that the diet must be sorted out first before trying to use exercise to lose weight. Resistance training, for example, using the methods in the "body by science" book has given some people great results. [/QUOTE]
