Metformin Weight loss and Diet Plan and Breat Cancer

[claudiab893]

I am currently on 1000mg of metformin, 500mg twice a day. I am a 54 year old female that's gone through 2yrs of breast cancer. I am on my way to good health, but it's been a struggle. My question to all of you is this.... I need to get rid of 45 pounds! I was on heavy steriods after my breast cancer mastectomy and breast reconstructive surgery. I've tried everything and so my doctor put me on Metformin. Is it best to be on some sort of diet plan with this medication and if so, which diet plan seem to produce the best results. I would so appreciate any advice from anyone who's taking this medication for weight loss.

I started out at 500mg one a day and am now at 1000. But thus far ZERO weight loss!! Perhaps the larger dosage is the key??

Thanks everyone!!
