What is the Dr. Bernstein Diet? Does it include soy in it, and/or a very

low fat regimen?

DR Bernsteins diet is very good for

pre-diabetes and diabetic conditions -it isn't related , its a

co-incidence

If i were you, I'd go back on Dr Bernsteins as it sounds like you were

happier on it. Many thyroid experts recommend some sort of low carb

diet for hypothyroid conditions

Best regards,

Alison

Hi Caroline,

What did your labs show as far as how your thyroid is doing? Can you post

them for us to see?

Did the doc put you on any meds?

Your first step in addressing the weight it to get your thyroid hormones

to the correct levels... a doc that is just saying 'normal' or 'abnormal'

my not be into thyroid health enough to really be taking the correct

tests and treating according to the tests and your symptoms.

If you are indeed hypo and the doc has simply said that you were on a bad

diet and that has caused the hypo condition.. well.. I'd be looking into

it a lot further, starting with what the results were of the tests he

took and finding out if he even took the correct tests.

Hypothyroid and trying to diet - please help!

Hi,I have just been diagnosed as hypo-thyroid, but 3 months ago I was ok. I had been following the Dr. Bernstein diet and then my hair started falling out - my dr. tested me and said I am hypothyroid and demanded I stop. So, I did - still don't know if the two are related (diet and thyroid). But, now I am exercising EVERY day and following 1400 calories/day and haven't lost anything - I am gaining! HELP!!!
