I definitely suggest staying on the metformin. My doctor started me on it well aware that I was going to be doing Atkins, and told me that apart from its other good effects it should help me to lose more consistently. I think he was definitely correct-- I've seen much better loss on it than not. besides which, I find that I really do feel better when taking it.
