Read More »Is Metformin an Effective Weight Loss Pill? No. The amount of weight you're likely to lose is low. In one diabetes prevention study, 29% of people lost 5% or more of their body weight and just 8% lost around 10%.
How Metformin Works Metformin starts to work in your gut. Some scientists think it changes the balance of the natural bacteria in your digestive system. It also turns on specific enzymes that help the body use fat more effectively. Scientists have also been trying to understand how metformin leads to weight loss. Because it alters gut bacteria, digestive issues are common side effects. So one early theory was that stomach pain caused people to lose their appetite and eat less, or that they lost water weight from diarrhea. But most of these side effects go away in a few weeks. People who lost weight on metformin continued to lose pounds after that time. A more likely explanation is that metformin’s changes in the gut tamp down appetite. It may raise the body’s levels of the hormone leptin, which makes you feel full. Since your appetite isn’t working overtime, you eat less. The weight you lose on the drug comes mostly from fat stores, not the mix of fat and lean muscle that happens with dieting. People on metformin also saw lower waist measurements and waist-to-hip ratios, two ways to measure body fat.
