Default Low carb or Metformin?

i started taking metformin 500 mg XR once a day to help with my hair growth, hair loss, constant cravings for sweets (which was leading to my difficulties losing weight) and just get my overall testoterone down.

i have also been low carbing (not too religiously though, once in a while ill have a little something i shouldnt be eating) but for the most part i just eat eggs for breakfast, salads with chicken cheese and ranch for lunch, and steamed veggies and some sort of meat for dinner.

anyway it's only been my 3rd day on metformin and ive been on LC for about a week and i already can tell ive lost weight. Plus, my hair loss is cut by more than a half (used to be 35-50 loss in the shower/while combing now it's 10-15)...and my PERIOD started randomly the second day after metformin.

So my question is wheter all these things are happening b/c of LC or because of metformin..It's only been 3 days on metformin so is it possible for it to start working this fast?
