Berberine for weight loss

[UglyJumper]

Anyone heard of this and takes it? Just trying to learn more about it and find a reputable brand.

Hi, I saw your message a couple of weeks ago when I started taking berberine. It’s been okay…using for weight loss. Not weighed myself but will do next week after 4weeks of use

have you tried it yet?

Hi there. I took it for one day and noticed I was quite gassy. I haven't taken it again. How are you finding it?

Hi OP, sorry been away and saw your message today. I was very gassy when I took Berberine before meals. I then started taking it at meal times with food and this stopped all side affects. I’ve been taking for nearly a month now and no ill affects x

I’ve heard berberine is used for stabilising blood sugar to avoid spikes if eating carbs food. How does it help with weight loss?

By stabilising blood and sugars you don’t get the sugar lows where your body craves carbs. the theory is less snacking, so less calories which leads to weight loss. Also, studies show that fat comes off the belly area with these supplements. I hope that’s the case for me!

Ooh.. this sounds interesting. How's everyone getting on with this?

I'm so excited I have been posting on all the threads!!! I am 2.2 pounds down in 7 days on Berberine 1000g and Glucomannan 1000mg. I just couldn't finish my dinner. I haven't been exercising either 🤐😀

I'm going to start exercising and see if it moves the scale any faster

I'm 43 and weigh 225 🙈

For the past 4 months nothing I did moved the scale! Nothing

I have now lost 6.16 pounds in 2 weeks on Berberine, no exercise just 18 hours fasts.....

Wow. Now I am 7.6 pounds down in 3 weeks 😳

Can I ask @Rennypie03 where you buy them from and if you’ve had any side effects?

Following with interest

@SaltyGod I get it off Amazon.co.uk. I take 500mg before my first meal and another 500mg before my second meal. If I have a third meal or eat carb heavy I have a third 500mg. It's max 1500mg daily.

I am not exercising yet but I am fasting 18 hours daily. I am just not hungry 😃

But I will add that I take Glucomannan fiber (from Holland and Barrett) it's a good appetite suppressant. When I started I took 500mg morning and afternoon. But now I only take one 500mg because the Berberine kicked in after a week

I suggest Berberine if you have insulin resistance of high sugar levels otherwise if your sugar is normal it can drop your blood sugar very low and make you Hungary 🤭🤭 some people do gain weight on it you know

Week 3 I feel gassy. Bloated. So I take a pro biotic
