Tried Glucophage (Metformin) to cut a little.
Metformin is an antidiabetic drug, it does several things:
1. Reduces carbohydrate absorption in your intestines by about one third, so you decrease total calories, and insulin release.
2. Reduces insulin resistance, so your body produces a little less insulin, which decreases fat storage.
3. It reduces gluconeogenesis, that is sugar formation from amino-acids, thus reducing muscle breakdown during fasting.
4. It slightly reduces appetite.
I started with a very low dose of 125mg (1/4 of a 500 mg tab), and went up to 850 mg (one 850 mg tab). Now I always take it at night, preferably before dinner, since it upsets your stomach a little bit, when you start taking it, or when you increase the dose.
Have lost 12 pounds in less than 3 weeks, incredibly, most of them fat, have retained muscle tone, and my abs are getting defined again. My skin feels incredibly tight, thus improving the "ripped" look. Even my face looks slimmer, younger, now.
As metformin reduces carbohydrate absorption, be sure not to eat sugary foods, as glucose will remain longer in your intestine, causing gases, heartburn, or softening your feces (but not to the point of causing diarrhea).
Using it only at night, you feel almost no side effects, while cutting and preserving your muscle a lot.
