Re: Hi! New to BFL + questions

I, too, have hypothyroidism. I take my medication AFTER my workout

and then wait the hour (per BFL and the medication directions) to eat

breakfast. I found taking it before a workout upset my stomach. If

you're using BetaLean, DO NOT take it with Synthroid.

One thing that works for me is to be absolutely religious about

eating that final meal the night before - even if I'm not hungry. I

think that's what keeps me from getting queasy the next morning.

Water also helps keep my stomach at bay. Make sure you drink plenty

before, during and after your workout.

Hope this helps,

I hope that you are pointing out that persons with thyroid disease

should never take a suppliment containing ephedrine. I took this

once. By once, I mean 1 time...1 capsule that was it. What it did

was cause me to have hyperthyroid symptoms that lasted 6 months at

which point I finally questioned my sons' endocrinologist (this was

after consultations with my internist) about the symptoms. I ended

up with the very early onset of osteoarthritis because of it. My

joints are better with a lower dose of Synthroid, but still bother me

from time to time.

Just wanted to give this note of caution to any other thyroid

patients out there. Please, please, please find other ways to burn

fat besides ephedrine! I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I

went through.

Actually, I am taking BetaLean, but not at the same time of day as

the thyroid meds. My doctor cleared both BetaLean and BetaGen

before I began. However, I think I'll check with her again.

The recommendation to wait an hour post workout to eat is for optimal fat loss, however, it does not mean that if you eat sooner that you will not see results. Do what you have to do for you!
