Does ldn cause weight loss?

I'm about to start on LDN for a chronic issue. A friend told me it might even lead to weight loss, which would be a bonus for me. Is there any truth to this claim?

My mother told me to try various herbal drinks when I wanted to lose weight, but my doctor prescribed LDN for my autoimmune symptoms. I noticed some gentle weight loss, but it is primarily due to better metabolic health under medical supervision.

For my high BP and weight, lifestyle changes like reducing salt and daily walking were the main things. My doctor mentioned LDN can sometimes reduce inflammation which helps with weight, but regular monitoring is absolutely necessary.

Yes, LDN can cause mild weight loss because it reduces appetite and curbs sugar cravings. But don't expect it to work like magic without a proper calorie deficit and consistent movement.

I used to crave midnight snacks constantly, but after starting LDN, my appetite definitely went down a bit. I still enjoy my food, but the urge to overeat has reduced, which led to a bit of weight loss.

Honestly, between my late night work shifts and bad sleep, my weight is always fluctuating. I started LDN and noticed some weight loss, probably because it stopped my stress eating at 2 AM!

It is true that some people lose weight on LDN as it helps balance the immune system and reduces cravings. Don't worry, just focus on eating healthy meals and let the medication do its work safely.
