[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would give it a try if I were you. 15 pounds can really mess with your joints and cause other issues. It sounds like you are doing quite a bit of exercise. Those mentioning cardio here are ignoring that cardio is ineffective for weight loss. It is wonderful for heart health but not for losing fat. If your diet is dialed in and you’ve tried the other options I’d go for it. [/quote]

Thank you. I would stop when I hit the 15 lbs. If it doesn’t work to maintain I’m fine with that and I’ll accept this might be my new normal with age. [/quote]

I’m not sure why you bothered posting on here for feedback when It sounds like you’ve made up your mind.

I personally think you’re taking a huge gamble on the impact this could have on your health and metabolism down the road when you’re already at a perfectly healthy weight. But you do you! [/quote]

Agree. OP, I have been on these meds for about 5 years and I guarantee you, you will regret taking it to lose 15lbs. The studies showed that trial participants under a BMI 24 saw no statistically relevant weight loss. However, it did lower A1c and control insulin levels. And on that low of dose, it’s going to take forever for enough medication to build in your body for the optimal results.

I just can’t believe a holistic doctor would recommend those medications to lose 15lbs.  I don’t think it will hurt you regarding your metabolism, but also don’t think you get the results you’re hoping for. [/quote]
