Activity

Day 13 – Usual black coffee with sugarfree sweetener and vitamins for breakfast. Lunch was 5 bites of a steak and provolone sandwich that I enjoyed while dining out with a friend. Dinner was 5 bites of a Chinese pork dish that my husband ordered in. Had a diet Coke with each meal and quite a bit of water throughout the day.

Thanks!

Day 6

Ok um, this is really easy so far, not hungry. What a weird experience. I know I’ve done this before already but I’m still just so damn surprised by it. I’m just shocked I guess.

L: Indian food

D: milky way

And some water. I was a little more pins and needles today but it has been wearing off quickly. I’m hoping it doesn’t get…[Read more]

Brilliant, Becca!  Thanks for the update!  It sounds like you are doing GREAT!!!

Super, Less … !  How do you feel?

I absolutely love it, Chloe!  You are an inspiration for all!!

Thanks yeah I feel like I wasn’t having to put too much willpower into it because somehow in my mind right now, it’s just not an option to eat more.It’s such a strong feeling that is getting stronger as I continue on. I hope I can make sure to re-stoke that feeling and make it all the way through.

Day 5

Got through just fine, even trained a…[Read more]

Yay! Keep it up!!

That’s fantastic, Chloe! It’s great hearing that you could enjoy the smells of cooking and appreciate it without feeling overwhelmed by the need to eat. Indian is my favorite food by the way, and I doubt that my willpower would have been as strong! Great job!

Sorry I missed a couple days on my logging. My husband and son have been sick with some sort of chest cold these past couple of days and I even had to take our dog to the vet yesterday over a separate stomach problem he has, so I’ve been the only one not sick in the house these past couple of days.

Day 10 was a perfect 5 bite day, down to the…[Read more]

Right.  It sounds like you might be dehydrated.   I hope your experiment works!

Thanks doc

Day 4

I’m writing a day after. Yesterday was relatively easy as well. My limbs falls asleep really easily if pressed against something, even just sitting a certain way. It goes away once I keep moving around. I can’t seem to find any concrete explanation for why this might be happening except some sort of electrolyte imbalance. I have…[Read more]

Right.  Whatever distractions you had are in the past.  Done.  Now we start fresh and new … and GO!!!

Correct.  Losing weight doesn’t cure all cases of hypothyroidism–losing weight doesn’t a guarantee a cure for any single disease (but the correlation with multiple diseases is VERY strong).  But the odds are (don’t we live in a world of odds, good vs. bad, benefits vs. risks?) that your hypothyroidism will improve to the point that you don’t n…[Read more]

Brilliant!  Absolutely brilliant, Chloe!!

Day 3

Still going! That was a relatively easy day 3 compared to a lot of the other ones I’ve been through. Feeling the drain and uncomfortable feels at times but as soon as I give a little push, my body is ready to go. Seems like my body is adjusting to switching its power supply. I think I’m in a much better place mentally now than I was last…[Read more]

De Lewis.  It’s great to know. The thyroid can be cured by loosing weight.  But I know some very thin people who have hypothyroid.   Why is that ?

And im taking the generic for synthroid    My sisters doctor said the generic doesn’t work as well.  What do you think?

Maybe this will help help me feel good enough to care about my weight ag…[Read more]

I’m glad that your doctor discovered this, but the cure for hypothyroidism is to get thin.  The extra fat on the body suppresses the thyroid gland’s production of thyroid hormone.  Certainly Synthroid is good for you now–until you lose enough weight that your own thyroid starts to take over again.

I’ve discovered I have hypothyroidism

dr put me on meds.  But I’m disappointed it takes 3 months before I will see results.  Even though I was extremely tired I’m relived to know why I felt so bad. And it wasn’t depression.

Absolutely.  You sleep efficiency is much better.  You simply require less sleep to feel completely rested, and you have more energy throughout the day!  Great!!

That’s good to know, Chloe. I’ve definitely been having trouble sleeping as much. It’s like I have too much energy to go to sleep, so I’m up later and yet still wake up before my alarm in the morning. I didn’t realize that could be tied back to the diet.
