One that works: While weight watchers was recently voted the best by a consumer group and the various low carb diets have metabolic advantages, the best diet is one you stick with in the long term. We are variable and benefit from different approaches. Weight wstchers online ia always a good place to start.

Metformin: Metformin is one of the best weight loss drugs there is--500 mg three times per day, up to 1, 000 mg twice/day. Most patients invariably say they feel better, have more energy, and lose their carbohydrate cravings. Stomach upset and diarrhea are the two most common side effects. If they occur, just reduce the dose to whatever is tolerable. Also, reduced absorption of b12, so add vit B12 to the regimen.
