I am fluctuating between 73.4 and 75KGs now depending on dehydration. It is also getting difficult to lose more weight. I need to lose about 5 to 10 more KGs because I feel I can drop half of the metformin dosage if I do so.
I also seem to be developing tolerance towards caffeine. I doesn't affect my blood sugar levels anymore.
First off, congrats on the weight loss. Not many people can do that, but you just did. Like your tolerance of caffeine, your body has adjusted to diet and has gotten efficient at breaking down the food and now can store fat because it is so efficient. This, and because of your weight loss (you burn less calories now) has probably caused you to plateau a bit.
So you are left with a few options: 1) Exercise a lot more 2) Eat a lot less 3) A combination of the two or 4) Change your diet. To change your diet, you can try something like intermittent fasting, as long as you are not hypoglycemic (low blood sugar)--start out by going 14/10 and then transition to others if you want. You can eat what you are eating now---just in a shorter window or in a different way (5:2). Alternatively, you could switch to a low carb diet of some type whether high protein or keto and try that route. You should be able to lose weight pretty quickly---the problem will be staying on that diet and the potential weight gain after you are done. But you could lose those last few kg you want that way and then go back on a diet to maintain. Since you are taking drugs for diabetes, make sure that your doctor okays this.
In any case, congrats and good luck.
