Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 I'm sure hoping it will help me. Terri Re: Hi My husband also has sleep apnea, with a lot of snoring. I have noticed recently that the 40 pounds he has lost so far on the SBD has really improved both. He used to wake me up 2-3 times per night when he would stop breathing. It's been a few months since he has awakened me. The snoring has also improved greatly. Kris--FLReminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Debbie, You are right, it is not caused by being over weight but my doctor thinks it will inprove if I loose weight. I need to loose about 50#. I also will be doing the CPAP. Just waiting to get the order Ok'd by my insurance. Also hoping it will help with the daytime sleepiness. Terri Re: Hi Hi Terri,I have sleep apnea as well and have been using a CPAP (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) machine for close to 10 years now. I've often wondered how weight loss would affect my sleep apnea. Sleep apnea isn't *caused* by being overweight, but being overweight certainly contributes to the severity of it. Welcome to the group. I'm new here too and this is a terrific group for adivce and support :-)Debbie> Hi,> Just joined this group. I am married to Don. We celebrated 41 yrs in June.

The Basics: The South Beach Diet™ is designed so that you can easily swap meals and ingredients. If you don't like eggs for breakfast, have low-fat cottage cheese or lean meat instead. Not a fish lover? Then choose lean beef or poultry. In Phase 1 of the diet, you can eat as many proteins and vegetables as you like, plus fats like olive oil. Fruit and starches aren't allowed until Phase 2. Here's a look at some general eating guidelines. For specific food choices, check out the Phase 1 Foods to Enjoy & Avoid list. BREAKFAST Protein: Quantity is not limited Vegetables: Minimum 1/2 cup Fruit: None Starch: None Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt) Fat: 1 tsp. mayonnaise or oil (optional) SNACK Snacks are required. Choose a protein, vegetable, fat-free plain yogurt, or nuts/seeds. LUNCH Protein: Quantity is not limited Vegetables: Minimum 2 cups Fruit: None Starch: None Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt) Fat: 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise or oil You are encouraged to include a serving of beans (1/3-1/2 cup) as part of your vegetables. SNACK Snacks are required. Choose a protein, vegetable, fat-free plain yogurt, or nuts/seeds. DINNER Protein: Quantity is not limited Vegetables: Minimum 2 cups Fruit: None Starch: None Milk/Dairy: 2 cups allowed daily (including yogurt) Fat: 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise or oil You are encouraged to include a serving of beans (1/3-1/2 cup) as part of your vegetables.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Debbie, Thanks for the encouragement. I know it is going to be hard at first using the CPAP but I promised my hubby I would give it my best try. I believe I can do it. If I can just feel more energy and less sleepiness during the day that will be great. I know sleep apnea is stressful on you heart and also contributes to hypertension. I want to get off meds that I now take so with the CPAP, diet and excercize maybe I can.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 If the Nutri Thyroid is not causing oyu problems continue it, you are looking for .2 degrees or less fluctuation for a week in your temps. Then you are ready to try Armour. Expect some fluctuatiosn the firts 2-3 days of Armoru then temps hsoud settle back down to as good as before adding it.

Lynn x T wrote: Fluid retention when first starting thyroid is due to lowering of your own thyroid. Until you are able to take enough thyroid to make more than your own thyroid is makign it simply lowers your TSH a bit which themn makes you slightly more hypo. Also the HC is using more thyroid so you need a tad more to keep the status quo. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I would call it a day wiht thyroid and then repeat this tiny dose tomorrow. and again the next day then try adding in a second dose. Three days should allow adrenals enough time to adjust to that dose then you cna increase by another tiny amount. Some folks with weak adrenals even on support have to go VERY slowly wiht thyroid and it sure sounds like oyu are one of them. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
