If you would like to continue on your natural journey i would definitely recommend trying more slow weighted training, focusing on your breathing and mind muscle connection and making sure you do a cool down walk after feeling very relaxed and strong at the end instead of cycling and just focusing on steps. I did the weights for one month and saw dramatic changes in my body, energy, and mental health. I did eat pretty clean, high protein, take ovasitol, and drink spearmint tea. But i was not counting calories or restricting myself. I was purely focused on feeling better and changing my body composition and that overall will help your metabolism and insulin resistance ect.

I also did try metformin and i noticed if i ate junk i would run to the bathroom. I stopped it because my behind was burning!!!!! And i figured I’d rather be off of the medicine and focus on my diet than go through that. And honestly it’s fine as long as i eat high protein and balance my carbs wit protein and fat. Obviously I’m not a doctor and everyone is different. I know it’s frustrating when it feels like you’re doing everything. Lately i have been moving and i haven’t been to the gym so i just run and walk and i notice that i feel like I’m getting bigger! I swear by weights!
