Newbie questions & comments
Hi all. Am VERY new to this forum but read with great interest about hypothyroid & LC diets. I was diagnosed a number of years ago, and switched from Synthroid to Armour Natural several years ago (had awful dark spots on my face from Syn.). Anyway.... what is "IR" diet mentioned in previous posts? I've been thinking I would kind of follow my own plan [+/- 50 carbs per day, hi fiber, lots of water, no "white" products] and from what others have posted, it seems the way to go, instead of "induction" or something similar. WHAT kinds of problems have y'all experienced with weight loss + hypothryroid?
Today is the first day I'm limiting carbs and welcome any comments/suggestions/etc. Also, anyone using a "Nutricounter"? I've seen it advertised and it looks good, but $$$. Wondering if anyone out there is helped by it? THANKS A MILLION for any response.
