Default quick question about alcohol...

Can drinking on metformin affect weight loss? As in - can it hinder it?

I've found (since taking met) that alcohol makes me, err (tmi alert) go to the loo much more, and get slightly crampy legs.

I am a bit concerned about drinking now my dose has increased - the usual lactic a fears ... but also, does anyone know if it can affect weight loss?

Thanks (yet again) Lara

Drinking stimulates my appetites and its calories that I don't generally burn off. So in that sense, drinking does hinder my weight loss.

As far as having a glass of wine with dinner or something, as long as you are aware of how much energy its contributing (and how much you need to do to burn it off) then it may not be a problem.
