Too far under calorie intake

Thank you Tz239. I am on Medicare now. I just turned 65. Adjusting the thyroid does take time and I am going to stick with it until we get the right dose. I can afford the thyroid meds and the medicare mostly covers the doctors appointments. I will be seeing him next Wednesday the 3rd.

Right Sunfish. This is what I am trying to do on the thyroid meds. I just know from past experience just cutting fat and calories do not work for my body. this is why I want to try the low carbs too. I do not think there is anything wrong with this approach.

Yes jgnatca. Thyroid can be about $12.00 a month for me. the diuretics is close to the same. Just need to get the right dose.

I really appreciate all your input.

Low carb works well, but once you're on it, you really can't cheat. It has to be under that level of carbs all the time, no exceptions. One potato will throw you off track for a week or more, and you'll regain all you lost and then some. It's completely unlike low-cal dieting, which is more forgiving.

Good luck to you!
