TSargent Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 My name is Tonya. I am an elementary school guidance counselor with 2 teen/college age children. I have battled weight my entire life, but athletic. I have developed hypothyroidism in my late 30's and I have consistently gained 15-20 lbs. each year since being diagnosed. It is very difficult for me to shed weight, for example: I paid $500 for the popular HCG diet, typical average weight loss was 30 pounds. I lost 5 pounds eating no more that 500 calories per day. Other life factors, I'm peri-menapausal and with thyroid disease both I feel I am desperate. I am giving you some personal background hoping to find people with same issues, but have positive success. I hope the Whole 30 diet will be my SUCCESS! Here is to 2014! Anyone out there like me??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailorlawrence Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hey Tonya, 30 days will be a good indicator if this way of eating can help with your thyroid disease and peri-menapausal symptoms...think of it as an experiment I think others had success eating this way as well... http://paleohacks.com/questions/104818/curing-hypothyroid-naturally.html http://www.washingtonian.com/blogs/wellbeing/health/how-a-gluten-free-paleo-diet-changed-my-life.php There's a lot of other articles out there of others who have had success... I think its definitely worth a shot! Best wishes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
