I'm really confused about something and need your help. So, a couple of weeks ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS and my doctor prescribed me Metsmail and Chirocyst to take after meals. After just a week, I've already lost 2 kg. I've been trying to control my diet during this time, too. Do you think this weight loss is because of the medication or more likely because of my diet changes? I just want to understand what's really having more effect here.
