To lose weight, should my daily calorie intake be below my resting metabolism (BMR), and could stopping Glycomet for my polycystic ovary condition (PCOD) have caused my weight loss to stall?

You should generally not eat below your resting metabolism (BMR), as your body needs those basic calories just to function safely. Instead, aim for a modest deficit below your total daily energy expenditure. Regarding your medication, stopping Glycomet (metformin) can certainly cause your weight loss to stall. This medication helps manage insulin resistance, which is a key factor in PCOD-related weight gain. Stopping it can make weight management much harder. Please consult your doctor before making any changes to your medication, as they can help find the safest path forward for you.
