Question

Beta Blockers?

I am presently taking Beta-adrenoceptor Blockers (inc antiarythmic agents) which I will not be stopping in my new LC WOE.
I am interested to hear from other LCers who take similar medication and find out whether they think this kind of medication hinders weight loss.
I take them for supraventricular tachycardia, I do not have heart disease.
TIA

Beta blockers do seem to hinder weight loss; they do not prevent weight loss. If you are consistent and persistent, you will succeed.
