I have some real experience on it. First learned about it from Dr. Osborsn book. Convinced my doc to prescribe it. First stated taking it 5 months ago, continued until last month stopped due to some other illness and while working on bringing my body and lifestyle on track. Here is my 2cent:
- stated taking with breakfast, will give me straight diarrhea until late afternoon. did'n even go away after several weeks. Found out it doesn't really goes well with milk and milk for breakfast is a deal-breaker for me. So switched it with lunch.
- even with lunch will get diarrhea on and off, then started taking it toward the very end of lunch may be just before my last bite. That kinda settled things down and no diarrhea but will keep me hungry for rest of evening, sometimes had to take 2 dinner.
- will wake up in the middle of night, not really feeling hungry but super sugar/carb craving in my mouth not in stomach. I had to take some carb about 3/4 am or won't fall asleep.
- So, bottom line ended up taking more food but still lost some unwanted fat especially from the love handle area and it got all trimmed.
- I wasn't on any gear while taking mtfn..if you are on gear things might be different for you.
- I'd take it not targeting fat loss, fat loss is just the side effect of the AMPK effect it makes on cells and more importantly cell degeneration that brings Anti-Aging in the picture, what id does (technically 1. potential delay to the onset of degenerative disease 2. it increases the number of oxygen molecules released into a cell, which appears to boost robustness and longevity.) . Fat loss is jut the mere side effect of it, so that doesn't mean if you under 7-8% body fat you dont need to take metformin.
- I know couple docs who are ahead of the curve shared they put pretty much all of there patients on metformin regardless if they have diabetics or not.
- I started again this week while I'm on gear but still kinda same affect without diarrhea and later at night in the morning feel bittery taste in my mouth because it squeezes all he sugar out of my liver I guess.
- My suggestion would be taking it with breakfast in the morning if it suits you so it does all it has to do through out the day and not much trouble at night.
- FDA approved a study on metformin for anti again, study hasn't finished yet. Once they come up with positive outcome, it is gonna be next Viagra like pill in the market .
- It would also give me mild sensation and headache someday on back of my neck surfacing up to my back head. still amazing drug
Hope it helps people..
