I really enjoyed the response to the poll.
I have had an underactive thyriod for some 10 years now, at present I am taking thyroxine 150 per day.
I have been on the Atkins diet for 6 weeks and after years of low fat dieting and constant weight gains and thyriod problems this low carb plan seems to be really agreeing with my system. I have lost nearly 6 kilos and I feel well.
I would advise any other members with thyriod problems that this plan is an excellent one for us, although please do take care when taking supplements especially those muti vitamins as many do contain excss amount of zinc and iron which can play havoc with your thyriod medications, and do remember that thyriod tabs should be taken at the same time every day and leave at least 4hours between taking any other supplements.
At present I am not taking any supplements. Are they really necessary????
