Message: <blockquote data-quote="AloeSvea" data-source="post: 2532489" data-attributes="member: 150927">Yeah, metformin does have a weight loss aspect to it, at least for some, and they are not entirely sure how, but presumably has an effect on the digestive processes/hormones/enzymes. And anyone who has had 'digestive processes' side effects with metformin is probably not at all surprised! Some kind of medication effect, and the effect of nausea and gut pains and so on are indistinguishable at the end of the day, and indeed - cannot be separated for some people!I agree with others above - if you are a rare type two and wanting to stall weight loss rather than otherwise, then healthy fats are the way to go. (I think it is very hard to overdo protein, as it is so filling, and goes to body maintenance directly, and I have not read anything about weight gain or stalling on protein - it's usually alcohol, carbs, fats, in that order....)With regards to your personal fat threshold, [USER=558082]@NoraPanda[/USER], as in body fat and being able to reverse/go into remission with the type two - Prof Taylor and co. suggest that the non-diabetic profile is along the lines of the weight and lean bod you probably had in high school. I will never be that lean and muscular again, but maybe that is cool for you? Worth giving it a go?</blockquote>
