Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Hi All, I'd love feedback on my experience: I exhibited major hypothyroid and adrenal exhaustion symptoms, beginning Dec. 1. (Probably well before, but I didn't pay attention.) I've been on thyroid med(naturopathic) for a few years, and I was loathe to increase my dosage, yet again. I also began gaining weight rapidly, although I was eating pretty much the same way I have been for years. I'm vegetarian, eat plenty of protein, skip grains and sugar most of the time, enjoy Stevia. I also excercise moderately three times a week. On Feb. 1 I began adding 3 TB of VCO to my diet daily, after having gained ten pounds. The first week I lost two pounds. I also began to sleep through the night and wake refreshed after only 8 hours sleep (unusual for me.) I felt energised and cheerful, found myself whistling a lot, skipping down the sidewalk, the kind of thing I hadn't felt like doing for years. Since Feb. 1 I have gained another ten pounds. I haven't altered my diet or excercise habits, and I continue with 3TB VCO daily. I've skipped a couple of days and notice my sleep patterns change immediately. I do not want to stop taking VCO, but the continued weight gain is quite alarming. My only " vice " is coffee. While my desire for coffee dropped after beginning VCO, I still enjoy very strong coffee (very strong) every morning. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks!
