I have had thyroid cancer and have no thyroid. Since the surgery, four years ago, I have gained over 30 pounds. My doctor has worked with me to find a correct dose of thyroid replacement hormone, but the weight keeps piling on. My doctor finally told me that there is nothing that can be done to stop the weight gain. I am fast approaching type 2 diabetes and his best advice is that it happens! Has anyone out there been in my situation and had success losing weight on the Atkins diet. In his book even Dr. Atkins is not reassuring about people in my sistuation loosing weight.

Please help!
