How Metformin Helps With Weight Loss

Metformin can be used as an off-label prescription for weight loss by working to efficiently re-train the body and how it uses energy.
By decreasing liver production of glucose and improving insulin sensitivity for converting your body's energy, Metformin improves glucose stabilization and helps control the creation of fat.

You want to lose weight while pregnant??

[@aalyiahawkal]

@@Carolina_girl86 I doubt it. Typically this is prescribed for patients with PCOS. Which is a common factor of infertility in women. This drug aids the body in geting pregnant.

Assalamualaykum! I have 109 sugar level which is borderline to diabetic. Can i take metformin? I also have diabetes heredity so i really wanted to prevent it. Kindly advise me 🙂

[@crystalcandoit8825]

Metformin is actually made for Diabetics so you should be able to qualify to take it. You should contact your primary care provider and speak with them about this medication and whether it's a good route for you.

[@Lisah_Cooper]

[@withracheltv7931]

Why am i gaining weight on metformin??

[@l.b.1952]

Hi there, first time I tried metformin I gained weight. I stopped.....I tried again recently and now its working - but now I take the the retard version. Maybe you can give it a try? Also: eat clean, avoid sugars, lemonades and fast food. Try to eat healthy. Drink a lot of water!! Very important. Try light exercise. I also do IF (18/6) and some days dinner canceling as I am not hungry. Mind: Its not only taking Metformin and make no change in lifestyle. That wont work. Also mind you starting weight. If you are not really overweight, it might not work so fast.I need to take it at least a few weeks before seeing results....just some of my tips. My calorie intake is about 1300-1500 kcal a day. Do not go below 1000 kcal pls - you blood sugar will drop too strong when taking Metformin then. I take 500 mg the first week, 1000 mg from the second week on (one midday with lunch, one in the evening after meal or on empty stomach if I am not eating in the evening) - leave at least 6 hours in between taking the 2 pills. Also mind your menstruation cycle: start taking Metformin after your period, never shortly before or during your period. Can make a big changes - its all about hormone levels!

[@miityela]

Whats the metformin dose per day for weight loss?

[@almanac520]

500mg to 2g a day. Ask your doctor

[@nenadcubric2663]

Some dont loose weight,

[@EyeSpyBlackAmor]

U didn't explain how its used for weight loss like is says in the title

[@Buzz_Kill71]

I thought it was just me... she spaced out on the whole purpose of the video. 🤣🤣

[@kennygo8423]

Regulate the Glucose Production which spikes Insulin (the fat storing hormone)

[@shannonbolden4456]

She gave the clinical rationale

[@westcoastorbust2462]

USA is sooooo uneducated. I'm sure you all either don't vote or you're Republican. The woman LITERALLY explained it. LITERALLY 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@almanac520]

Basically, it mitigates the bad effects carbs have on your body. Also helps with cravings for carbs. Just remember, a bad diet is a bad diet, and no magic pill will help. Eat less, move more < this is the only way to lose weight

[@triciahummel7086]

So how does a person get it?

[@ElephanTigeR]

Talk to your doctor, it's prescription only

[@jackiechowan2115]

I am overweight. About 90 pounds. I have subclinical hypothyroidism. I have a fasting glucose of 95 and an insulin at 24- which I am insulin resistance. Would you recommend metformin for me?

[@optionsweightloss]

Hello, Due to HIPPA we cannot answer medical details over social media. Generally, Metformin can be taken long term, but it varies based on individual medical details. Our nurse practitioner would be happy to go into more detail with you at the clinic. Thank you!
