After living the F2S lifestyle for a couple of weeks, my wife noticed that her clothes were getting tighter and she gained 10 pounds! We both thought that was very odd and she went to see her doctor last week to discuss it.
Her doctor told her her thyroid had not been functioning for some time.
He also indicated that removal was an option though not absolutely necessary at this point.
The doctor said that since her thyroid is not functioning, she should not attempt ANY
weight loss program at this point including carb limiting. He said that with her condition, diet changes can actually work in reverse of expectations compared to "thyroid normal" folks.
We found that to be true first hand.
He has her taking very high doses of Synthroid medication which is a concern since over a period of time, this can have other negative health consequences.
He referred her to a thyroid specialist for more testing and treatment so that she can get the Synthroid dose lowered and enjoy a more normal metabolism. Her doctor said this specialist has helped many other patients with her condition successfully.
She has an appointment for a blood draw at a lab today and will set her first appointment afterword.
I hope the specialist can resolve this problem!
Please remember her in your thoughts and prayers!
Thank You and God Bless!
