Yup, dieting will always affect your thyroid. And if you have low thyroid function, it is typical to have period trouble, isn't it?

I've read here on this forum that going too low carb is not good for people with thyroid problems. How low is your low-carb diet - i.e. in terms of grammes of carbs per day?
