For those wondering about weight loss low carbing & cortislim........

[Guest guest]

Hey Guys.....

Just want to say that being on this group list has really improved my life

and I appreciate so much the input of all the regular posters.

Ok..I have about 15 - 20 pounds to lose which has clung to me since I was 15,

or about 26 years now. A major help was getting my thyroid regulated. Now...I

was thinking about the whole low carb thing and how it works. I tried it

about 20 years ago...but was quickly off of it because of my love for sweets. I

got back on it 3 years ago with moderate success which I was happy for because

I didn't experience the hunger I did with low fat diets. Ok...but then I

thought about the old truth that you have to lower your calorie intake to lose

weight...it is true that eating low carb you can actually eat more calories and

still lose weight however..you can't eat unlimited calories and lose weight! So

Wednesday I lowered my calorie intake to under 1400 eating the low carb way

and the trick was to write down the calories and carbs in each food I ate

BEFORE I PUT IT IN MY MOUTH (that is the trick). This has been an interesting

adventure..because I realized that although the cream I put in my 2 cups of

coffee

in the morning was 12 carbs (not leaving many to keep me under the 20 carb

per day atkins limit for weight loss) but also 90 calories! sheesh...I didn't

even think about that before!

Also On Thursday I got a bottle of cortislim And have taken 2 a day since

then. I got on the scale this morning (4 days after the calorie AND carb

counting) and have dropped 2 pounds! yeah!!! Now unfortuneately I do not know

whether it was the cortislim or the changed diet...it may well be just the diet!

I

don't want to rock the boat at this point though to find out...so I'll just

keep on taking it until the bottle runs out..then test for a week to see if

diet alone works as well and let you guys know.

Blessings to you all!

Loriann, we are sure behind you in your quest!! Keep us posted about

it. I've heard ads about Cortislim---what's in it???

Hopefully, too, you are eating several small meals every day, which

helps keep the metabolism up.

Hi Janie and everyone,

When I try to go up on Armour, I'm going up to 1.5 grains

from 1.25 grains. I start feeling the brain fog and tiredness within

a half hour. The same thing happened with Synthroid when I tried

to go up to .110.

I've been on 1.25 grains about six months and my free T3 results

from about three months ago were at the low end of the acceptable range-

about four points from the bottom.

Six months ago I started out on 1/2 grain - my internist had made a

mistake re: the conversion of Synthroid to Armour. I was on it for a

month

before I realized that something was really wrong. Then I went up to

11/4

grain.

I haven't had my Ferritin tested or adrenals or testosterone. I'm

new to

this alternative approach. I'm 51 and went into menopause at 44 shortly

after

I became hypothryoid. I'm willing to try to address this thyroid problem

in an alternative way because I am worried about my cholesterol (it's

barely

inside the normal range) and because my Dad had his first heart attack

at 55. I have allergies, food allergies., irritability and BLOATING

that drives

me crazy. If I only eat a very limited diet, like rice, bananas, apples

and

chicken, my bloating is better - but life is short and I like to eat

other foods, Wheat is

my very worst food.

I haven't taken my temp. for awhile. About three months ago my AM

temp was low-

between 95 and 96 and my daytime temp was 97 or so.

Thank you for responding to my posting - I've been living with

this for so long...
