Hi girls, I'm so glad I found this site,... I think I'm probably the weirdest hypothyroid in here right now, I was diagnosed with it when I was 12 years old! It's been six years since then, I'm now 18, and have been on synthroid ever since. For anyone who is wondering if low-carbing is bad for your thyroid, it is the exact opposite! When I was about 10 I decided to become a strict vegetarian, No meat what so ever, I hated tofu and beans, and all other sources of protein, so I had virtually none in my diet... low and behold about half a year later I began gaining weight rapidly, losing all my energy, my hair was falling out, nails brittle, you all know the symptoms,... funny thing is though It took my doctors plus a gland specialist a year and a half to finally diagnose me with hypothyroid, they had never seen anyone that young have their thyroid go out like that. It is now that I am finally realizing that I put myself into hypothyroidism, by not eating protein for so long... After reading several low-carb books and getting info off the internet, I'm finally beginning to understand my condition, and ways I can fix it myself without having to take meds for the rest of my life. Have any of you heard of BHB Plus? I read about it in the Living Low-Carb book, and it is supposed to help with thyroid. I'm thinking that I may need to raise my dosage of meds because I've been feeling tired durring the day again for the past few months, and weight loss is slow, though I'm not gaining any either, does anyone prefer that Armor over Synthroid? If so I would love to hear your thoughts on it! Thanks so much!
