Hi All,

I was diagnosed with PCOS a while ago and have been taking metformin (I'm not diabetic but very overweight). I also began a very low carb (keto) diet recently and am wondering if anyone has felt that taking metformin slows down weight loss? I'll be getting some advice from my GP in the next few weeks, but I was hoping someone in the community has already been down this road of potentially reducing or stopping their metformin whilst in ketosis?

Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Thank you 😃
