ok to low carb and be on met?

Question:

Hi, I am on 1500 mg of metformin a day and after 2 months I started ovulating and having regular periods, now my cycles are weirded out again so I thought low carbing might help me get back on track. My question is…is it safe to low carb and take the metformin? I just started the atkin’s diet today and I feel awful……but hopefully this will go away after a few days???? Thanks in advance, shelley PCO/IR ttc over 1 1/2 years on metformin

Response:

It’s pretty normal to feel very sluggish and sometimes even nauseous for the first few days on lowcarb. Sara

My doctor recommended I do both.  It seems to be working so far (1 week lost 3 lbs.) Leah

Im on day two and I feel light headed a bit and am craving carbs real bad tonight. I ate a large sausage patty with tabasco on it, a slice of cheddar cheese, atossed salad with blue cheese on it sprinkled with sunflower seeds, and a diet pepsi(yuks). I’m not hungry right now per say i just feel like I need substance! LOL

Response:

is it even ok to be doing the induction atkins (15 mg or less) of carbs a day?? I guess I am going to do that for the 2 weeks then work up to 30-40 grams a day. I almost think thats why i feel so nauseous, the combo of hardly any carbs and the metformin… Thanks! shelley
