Thank you for your inquiry. Synthroid is one of the very few medications that will not affect your weight loss.
The Atkins program ,when followed correctly, should be the answer to a prayer for someone with your health history.Studies have shown that thyroid uptake improves on a higher fat/ higher protein/ lower carbohydrate program. However be careful not to starvi e yourself, it will suppress the action of thyroid medication . Be sure you are eating small frequent meals with adequate amounts of protein/fat and be sure to take plenty of pure water. Remember not everyone goes into ketosis easily, especially with a thyroid condition treated with medication. As long as you are losing weight and inches it shouldn't matter how long it takes to get into ketosis. You may experience fatigue on the third day is a result of your body depleting its carb sources and switching to a fat-fuel system. With the slow conversion that you experience, your body has a lag time when the energy source is between the carb and fat metabolism phase. Just stay with it and once the fat-burning phase is achieved, you should have more energy than before.
Eh. =/
