Re: How many calories would you say hypo people need to consume

[Guest guest]

Yes indeed, my stomach is now rebelling against sugar in all forms...carbs too.

I haven't a clue where to get the necessary protein tho as I can't get organic

meats around here, don't digest meats well anyway, can't eat soy, am allergic to

all dairy products...so what's that leave to eat that's protein??? Not much &

I'm suffering because of it. Guess I'll have to start eating meats anyway,

steroids, chemical & hormonal injections & all the rest of whatever

contamination, including food dyes that are in them. And take a good natural

laxative every day besides...like cascara sagrada. What else can I do?

It's not about the calories. Higher protein, get ride of the sugar. Watch

the carbs because they tend to have sugar. I'm not saying that you must

follow a " low carb " diet. But up your protein and watch the sugar. Our

bodies have a had time converting the sugar. Just my 2 cents. If you

starve your body, it holds onto the fat...hypo or not. You body does need

fuel. Complex carbs are good.

This is just my opinion, but I think that if you have to keep your

caloric intake at 1200 calories a day or less in order to maintain

your weight, then your metabolic rate is too slow. A diet of less

than 1200 calories does not allow you to get adequate nutrition. You

might be able to get enough nutrition on 1200 calories a day if you

had access to highly nutritious foods. This is a challenge today.

Vegetables have declined in nutrition by 40 to 50% since the 1940s

according to two studies. They think it is due to depletion of our

soils by modern agriculture that focusses on production and size

only.

Since your metabolic rate and activity controls your caloric needs

and this is mainly controlled by thyroid and adrenal function, it

just seems that a skimpy diet is a sign that the metabolic rate is

not adequate, therefore thyroid may not be adequate.

A good way to investigate how your metabolic rate and thyroid

therapy are doing is by doing the Broda O. basal body

temperature test or you can also use Rind's 3 times a day

temperature test. http://www.drrind.com/tempgraph.asp

Rind's helps you see if you have adrenal issues with the thyroid

problem. Broda is better at just looking ar thyroid function.

Temperature is a very good way of checking on your metabolic rate

and was used for well over 50 years to help in determining thyroid

doses prior to all the tests they have today.

Oh yes, that might be a good idea about the beef raising. Not much cattle

raising going on around here tho.....sheep ranches in the foothills though...too

far for me to drive to & pack all that much home with me, let alone worry about

where to put it in my tiny refrigerator freezer compartment.

There used to be a Whole Foods store back in the city where I used to live 3

years ago so I bought my meats & bunches of other stuff there. There's none at

all around where I live now. Just one little health food store that doesn't sell

meat & very little produce either. I never thought of the Internet. How do they

sell it? Frozen?

I haven't tried eating dairy foods with lactose pills. But I think I'm going to.

Have to do something here. I'm relying on Farms chicken & some turkey now

& that's about it. Good thing I like chicken but there's not as much good

protein in it as other meats or dairy foods from what I've read.

Thanx for the Internet idea.... & encouragement about trying lactose though.

Might be the way to go.

Re: How many calories would you say hypo

people need to consume

Not sure where you are but have you tried to find someone who raises cattle

on the field, not grain fed? We are going start purchasing our beef that

way. We are in Texas so it is a bit easier to find it. Chick can be had

at a local health food " supermarket " , we have Whole Foods. There are

several places off the Internet that you can purchase from. I feel for you,

I don't know what I would do in your shoes! The only dairy I eat right now

is cheese. Can you eat it with those lactose pills?

Let us know how it works. Here is a link to a place in North Texas

http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/index.htm I haven't tried them. We have

found a place about 45 south of here and place to buy half of a cow in Feb

or March.

You might want to check out QVC.com as well. I know they have Kansas

City Steak products. (Some are certified by the American Heart

Association.)

They ship them 2nd day air with dry ice in the package.

4 pounds I think is the smallest order, but I think it is a

combination. Like a could of steaks and some ground meat.
