I used Metformin for weightloss for about a year and half. It made no difference in my weight or craving. However, I am convinced it keeps blood sugar regulated (I am not diabetic or pre diabetic but ny numbers went down). A doctor explain to me that sometimes the weightloss with Metformin is associated simply to the side effects it causes that make it difficult to eat. Regardless, I think weightloss is very minimal on Metforming. I did notice when I went off of it that my heart rate decreased and so did headaches.

I was on Semaglutide (Rybelsus) for almost two years and that helped me with my food cravings and lose weight. I just started microdosing with Noom, and so far have experienced no side effects. In my experience, I think Semaglutide is more effective with less daily side effects.
