My son is gluten intolerant so that is a thought for me as well. I don't get the stomach distress if I eat gluten/wheat, like he does, but I do get really tired, like I took a sleeping pill or something. I'm doing atkins induction very strictly like I did before , but so far no weight loss . But the alternative is to feel tired all the time and feel bloated. I'm not doing meds yet, I do want to try the herbal route first. If it doesn't work in the 3 months I was told to try , then I will do the meds.
Sometimes I wonder if the Atkins diet caused the Thyroid problem, because I did great on it the first time , 3 years ago, and now I can't get the weight to budge. Is it possible too much protein, can create a thyroid problem?
I'm not eating any artificial sweeteners , just stevia, proteins and veggies. Drinking alot of water also . Seems like a healthy diet to me...minus the pork rinds. Fried foods are bad. I don't eat those things.
I'll just keep plugging away at it.
