I have just started Met two days ago and hope that combined with my exercise (usually 2hrs 5x week min) plus my own low carb/high protein/Low GI diet that it will assist my weightloss and prevent diabetes.
My s/e have been mild but I am only on 250mg 3x per day, hopefully my Dr will allow me to increase my dose from this level.
The s/e that is concerning me a little at this point is the lack of hunger, I am really having difficulty eating my food (B,snack,Lsnack, dinner, snack). My BMR is 1600 without excercise (which for other reasons I have had to cut down this week anyway), but the last two days I have struggled to eat and have not reached 1200 calories.
Getting enough calories is always my problem - I know its bizarre for someone who is obese, but I guess it was all those years of sub 900 per day trying not to gain any more weight with this stupid disease
Does the lack of hunger go away? I'm kind of forcing myself to eat today because my weight loss (minimal as it is) stops if I am under 1200 calories for too long. I'm just wondering if I should add some good but high calorie things, like a few more almonds?
