Hi Brenda, I was tested as being insulin sensitive and reading I don't fit into the adrenal burn out category at all so I can follow the program as being IS with healthy adrenal glands. When I first found out I went crazy and started eating some of the high GI fruits, and she said you can have a little bit of sugar without it damaging your health. Well, mentally I can't handle A LITTLE BIT OF SUGAR. I start to think it's okay and keep ice cream on hand and have a daily bowl full and stuff like that. So I have stuck to around 20 carbs per meal and 15 per snack. 30-45 is too much for me, I may get there someday if I SLOWLY increase my carbs. If I faithfully stay around 15-20 I lose.
I don't know what to think about your hair loss. It really sounds like low-thyroid to me. Have you recently been tested for that to see if you need to up your prescription?
